Halloween ~ Hatch Day!

The seller just wrote to me...she hadn't sent the eggs out yet and will be shipping them on Mon or Tues to the correct address...That means I'll have 3 staggered hatches instead of just 2! I have my original Halloween babies, 2 BR and 2 Polish that I set this AM due on Nov. 7 and then I'll have one more the following week!

Do these different hatches all have to have seperate brooders?

I wouldn't think so! I personally will have more than 1 type in the same brooder...unless someone posts otherwise! HA HA

LOL, I'll have rocks, orps, araucanas, turkeys all in the same brooder. They'll probably end up in the end, in with the peeps that just arrived, 25 baby partridge rocks rolled in this morning. My kitchen has LOTS of noise. I need a bigger brooder....

You mean your kitchen ISN'T your brooder??

But can the different ages go together? If each set is 1 week apart?

I just put my day-olds in the same brooder as my week olds, and everyone is doing fine.

Lots-O-Peeps... I would love to have a kitchen like that! I haven't decided if our brooder is going in the bathroom or the basement....Bathroom is huge (Like 10x12) but it gets a bit steamy when someone showers. Would that hurt the babies? I can't wait!!

walkswithdog- Can we see pics of your baby partridge rocks? Love fuzzy butt pics!

Yeah I wouldn't think at a week old they are old enough to know they have seniority

That is good they are doing well!!
