but alas, I live in Canada and it can't happen. I would so love some, these are project wheatens and I don't think that they'll be up to the standard in colors. We'll see if they get to hatch. 21 days is so lonnnng.

I'd love to see pics of yours, grown and chicks!

Mich you need me you have my cell, I gotta go observe some chicks and broody for a bit.

Did I mention its tick heaven here now! OMG kids covered! I am thinking about letting the hens out in front! DH would KILL ME!!

Just spread bug stuff in the hopes of killing ticks. Dogs get monthly treatment and still have ticks.

Meh! Not fair! Mine aren't great, either.
3 or 4 are pretty good, but the roo is small, lots of white on his muffs...absolute dolly, though. They are Really sweet! I'm getting more super blue eggers, which hopefully will do well & not all be roos! I have 2 that lay a really blue egg. I only have wheaten, lav, one black & EE. One really nice EE. I hope you get a good hatch! If not, a smuggling trip over the border may be in order

I have so much to comment on, and just no time, so I've gotta ask a question. Today is day 19, (the one chick was just really early) I can not get my humidity up. It's at 42% and the bator is crammed full of water dishes with washcloths and dishcloths on the floor soaked. So much so that bitty baby has no chance of fluffing up at all. I seriously don't know what else to do! I'm out of room. Ironically, downstairs in the duck brooder (that is nice and dry except where the water sits) is at 54%.

I'm gonna lose it!!!

I'd get that baby into the brooder now to fluff up before the poor thing drowns! Open it quickly and zoom it outta there.
Your hygro is broken.

Woohoo

Looks like there are more to come!

as caught up as I can get. I predict a lot of catch up time tomorrow since it is going to be freezing. 50 degree drop is going to really suck. Going from shorts and flip flops to winter coat and fuzzy boots. Broody got up yesterday for a while and I checked her eggs and added more padding. Her eggs are nasty dirty and one is missing.

Oh and if I get a hand anywhere near her she wants to take a finger off. Hopeful something hatches because I am not putting her eggs in my bator and I really don't want to have to buy chicks to give her.
