Went out this morning to get the coop ready for the nasty weather coming in, went in to gather any eggs. Didn't figure any would be out there, most are usually laid between 10-12 in the morning, well the broody was on her eggs, the big rir was in her nest sitting on her head!! Next to her my "bella" my little wy was laying her egg. The wy finally finished-hopped out. The RIR was still sitting on the other wy-broody, alice was pecking the snot out of Louise, Louise was squawking her head off. I pick up Louise, and Alice to see if Alice was sitting on any new eggs, she wasn't. Well I went ahead and put the RIR-louise back in the favorite box to finish laying. Well Alice hopped down thought she would want a bite to eat and a drink-NOPE, right back to the nest, under Louise pecking the mess out of her. So I picked up Louise and when I did-plop her egg went, but I caught it.

All the while my leghorns while holding alice and louise are fighting to get in the box, my polish are trying to find a spot in the box too. Alice coming unglued seeing others in her nest.

MAYHAM!!! Crazy girls!!! The boys are circling my legs trying to see what the fuss was about. My cochins were ticked because they didn't get any snuggles this morning, gave me the evil eye!!!

Good Gravy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAHAHA ican picture it!!

These are the eggs I'm incubating right now! One of them I know comes from an easter egger hen, and most of them should be delawares. Some might be barred rocks, RIR, or ameraucauna eggs. The person who gave them to me said that some of them are from breeds she doesn't even know the names of. So interesting. I think all the chickens are from the same coop, so some of these are definitely mixes of these breeds. Should be interesting!


:3

they are at day three.

one egg on a shelf on the side. I candled it and it's alive!

Another egg on another shelf. it's alive too.

A shot of the inside of my incubator. The wires block off the water reservoirs from the eggs so when they go into lock down, the chicks won't drown. (I learned this from my last incubating experience.)

I put a sign on the outside saying not to candle them, because I am so easily tempted to do it. (who isn't??!!) There is a heat lamp on the outside of it because my room is quite cold 'cause there's a winter storm going on outside.

Is this Hope? My she is growing nig

Not yet- but that's the plan once they get old enough & I see how they turn out.

I candled last night, I had 14 eggs due for hatch on feb 25th. I removed 6 eggs last night 3 clears and 3 bloodrings. I have remaining 2 CCLs, 3 Japanese Bantams, 2 SL Cochin x Dominique, and 1 Silkie EE.

I also candled my second batch of 22 eggs,knowing many would be infertile . Only Day 4
Only 6 developing. 4 Japanese Bantams and 2 SL Cochin x Dominique.
I set all the other eggs because I let my rooster free range with my big girls and I thought he may have mated a few of them, guess I was wrong.


But all and all Im happy with 8 and 6 total of 14
