I was wondering if you were like, “ Someone has a chick already?!”
I’m not trying to be a dork, but I think I’d be more surprised if it happened to someone else.
Never mind, I’m a dork.

For the November 5th ship date. Playing with the bator this week lol

Haven’t set them yet cause they don’t get here till next week.

Did order a new thermometer and battery though cause my probe thermometer apparently got left turned on and died

If I remember from last time I played with it when I first got it, I think it runs a little hot so have to set a couple degrees cooler than recommended but that’s why I wanna get the other thermometer and test it.

i stark started with the exact same assortment.....unfortunately i hatched mostly boys!!! excited to see what breeds you luck into!!! typically 4 or so different ones per assortment. (and labeled so you don’t have to guess unless the ink gets smudged)

Baby finches started making noises tonight too!!

If I were to order, I’d get the ... whatever they call the assortment of late hatchers. I can handle everything from meat chickens to geese, so it would be cool to see what I got.
