Eggs in incubator day 19

Good morning, fairy eggs do not have yolks they are tiny.
Turned the heat up on my incubator see if the rollers will hatch.

My girls love to sun bath and take dirt baths until the evening sun is out . Then they go in the run lol. Egg productions down this week due to the heat. Can't wait to hatch my own chicks one day!

Finally let mine on the grass for the first time. Not very long because it's too hot. Even at the end of the day it's too hot.

yeah. I don't even hatch bantam, but Iv'e got a cheap incubator that doesn't hold heat well, so I usually set the temperature a degree or two higher, and then the first chick hatches a day early. it makes things a bit more complicated, but the eggs in the corner get enough heat that way.

I just lay a blanket over mine to make it stay 99.5

Yay how nice... they just love exploring the grass! Mine have experienced a little bit of rain today... they're outside but they have their heat plate out there still and plenty of shelter in the little run

More garden time yesterday. Big communal dust bath

I didn't get a photo but I put some scratch down on the grass in the evening when I had both the hens and the chicks loose in the garden... they ate together hens still nervous of the chicks and very wary of them. Suddenly my polish suspect cockerel chick decided enough was enough with sharing with the hens, and went into attack mode!! The chick is still tiny compared to the hens chicks got a few pecks and then hen fled making very cross noises

An update on my beautiful chicks. I'm pretty sure my polish chicks are 2 cockerels and 1 hen judging by behaviors. My beautiful frizzle crowed for the first time this morning. 6 weeks old yesterday. Such an adorable squeaky effort the Mille fleurs, I believe big fluffy foot is a cockerel and the tufted one a hen. 4 fluffy silkies I suspect 2x cocks and 2x hens but these are heard to judge still. The bearded black and the tufted white I'm not at all sure yet. Think that's all 12

Oh my gosh they are so cute!! Mine are for sure at least 1 cockerel but 2 others I just can't tell.
