Christmas is coming early Hatch-A-Long!

So after taking pictures of my two French hens yesterday I was inspired to put 2 more on the milk can.

Blue is French on her father’s side of the family. Her dad is a French BCM mother is an EE with any luck she will start laying olive eggs soon.

Axl is not a hen but everyone likes pictures of cockerels. Unfortunately Jack Frost has been nipping at his comb but he is on the mend. View attachment 3706256

Beautiful birds, Axl is a handsome boy! ❤

@007Sean Not Chickmassy, but he really looked like an avid fisher.

Of course it's Chickmassy! What do you think Santa does with all his time off after the Christmas season?!

He's adorable!!! I showed him to my hubby, he likes him, so maybe one day we'll get some! Or the Old English bantams, I've never had either breed so I'm not sure yet which we'd like more.

The anticipation is insane!!!!! I think the earliest one could hatch is tomorrow and the latest should be Tuesday as I think the SLW and one of the EE eggs I set on the 27th while all the others were the 26th.

I'm having trouble getting the humidity up, I have both reservoirs full (that keeps in between 40 and 50%) I added a jam jar with water, wetted a sponge plus have a papertowel dampened in there. The sponge and paper towel dry out fairly quickly and the humidity then falls back to 45 to 50%. I also have to crack the lid open to add the water for everything so I know that's a no-no for lockdown.

Oh gosh, I thought we had the same one. You don't have the auto humidity on yours or it's not hooked up? I just set it up or down and only need to worry about it being too high, never too low. I have an aquarium hose hooked from the pump to a jug of distilled water and don't usually have to touch anything.

I have the eggies listening to Christmas music to get them into a festive hatching mood!

Don't forget to play Grinch's theme for him to get him in the mood!

Mine is the Advance so manual humidity control. I was looking at the Brinsea site to see if I could buy a humidity pump but I didn't see one. I think it will be easier to increase in the summer, it's fairly humid here spring through fall.
