Good morning!!

It’s a slightly chilly morning outside. It’s warming back up in a few hours, but I’m sure the chicks are snuggled under the moms. I feel it’s important that they need the moms’ warmth. The stronger the bond, the safer they will be.

Slightly chilly here too. 66 heading to 102.

3 of the 8 shipped Marans out so far. 1 more might make it. The rest were iffy.

And a very good morning to you, as well. Little soggy in my neighborhood.
You get your run straightened out?

Two of my five shipped eggs are out, and two more are working on it. Now for the question: should I stick them under one of my broodies tonight? She is a first-timer and doesn't have fertile eggs under her because she was inconsistent at first, and then when she settled down my husband took her eggs. Do I risk the chicks on an untried mother? Will the other broody stay on her clutch if there are babies running around? They are both in the same coop because I don't really have anywhere to separate them to.

That’s a risk I wouldn’t take. I have two broodies and neither will get these chicks.
