Hands on hatching and help

SO cute!!

I'm Stealing Your Nest Boxes. Meaning, I'm gonna make some like yours.

Yup I want lmao. If I tried to ask my husband to build them right now I have a feeling he would slap me upside my head lmao. With a shot though hahahaha

They are nice, but I would change some things. First- these are SO heavy and I think maybe built into the coop. (I didn't build it) I can't move them to clean, and as the walls are bare two by fours, poo falls back. Which leads to #2..... No flat roofs on nest boxes! They are a pain to clean!

Ah well, at least I am not limited on my chicken math by something like not enough nesting boxes.

Lori, you have geese? They are precious! Something about a goose has always gotten me! Their little faces are just so cute! How old are yours? Are they really friendly?

These eggs came from a friend, she has naked necks, RIR, and other types of chickens she dont know what types they are. Wanna guess? These are on day 12 in the incubator.


Edited to Add: They Are All Barn-Yard Mixed Due to There Only Being 1 Rooster. He Is A RIR.

Lmao doesn't matter. If you het 20 hens they will all want the same box hahahaha

Oh lordy.. the ancona duck eggs and some of the silkie eggs came today. The breeders sent so many extra eggs I don't know what I'm going to do with them all. Hopefully they will all fit in the incubator. First time ever I've wished for duds lol

If she has then all together--not separate pens by breeds----These are Mixed/crossed! Barn-yard Mixed is what most call them.
