EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[OneMountainAcres]

Life's good! Critters are bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Might have a mini-me in the works this year, hubby and I are young so it shouldn't take long.

Howdy Ant! And howdy to Sally!

Wow, exciting times! Good luck!

Okay, Y'all, time for Unsolved Mysteries

Out of 6 pullets, all from the same hatch on 7/2/16, one & possibly two are laying, and have been for a month; the others never have. The only possible difference is that they're not all necessarily from the same hen. At first I thought they may be laying in secret nests when they're out & about, but they've all been confined to the coop/run/chicken yard since a hawk nailed one a week or so ago. Even before that, I kept them up for a day on two different occasions with no results.

I'm out of ideas.

Doesn't sound too unusual. I had a batch of EHAL pullets in which two laid at about 5 months, but the other one held out to 8... Sometimes there's just a few odd birds.

awesome!! you guys are trying? Good Luck!!!

Thanks you two! It's early days yet so I'm not getting too excited. Did order some cloth diapers, we're going to try both disposables and cloth and see which we prefer. I'm not holding my breath on the disposables making it past one package.

Put the pups out with the goats. Won't they be gone by spring?
