Countdown to Baby Chicks 2023 edition

[Yfd417]

The chicks are 2.5 weeks. This Splash Wyandotte has no tail feathers yet and shorter wings than its other Splash counterpart and other birds. Any thoughts this may be a rooster or too soon to tell?

Chickens Math!

Exactly! Two are for us (a lavender Orpington and cream legbar), the rest for a co-worker who wants some heritage layers (Barred rocks, Orpingtons & Australorps…poor guy, a fox got the couple hens he had left!)

What do you think of the nuture right 360?

At first I loved it...but soon realized that I had to wrap a thick towel around the plastic cover to keep the temperature stable, thankfully I had a small thermometer inside or I wouldn't have known. I have the setting on 101.2, and it's actually 99 inside. I like the auto egg turning, and it holds a good amount of water...
I kept the 2 hatchlings in there for 24 hours, and they had plenty of room to stand and move around. So that was a plus. I also put the cabinet liner inside so they had a soft grip.

I just got an email that my chicks are in the mail! They should be here in 1 to 3 days!
