That's awesome!!

Tomorrow is day 14...so I get to candle and see how much damage my hours long heat spike did.

Keeping my fingers crossed for sure!

Fingers and toes are crossed!

Even better...I'm pretty sure I see a little hairline crack in on of the piped eggs. At least I think it's a crack and not a hair...


Ok, here's my girls. I had a table in the barn next to a wall and it was normally fairly dark under there so they thought it was a prime nest area. Thank goodness for a camera flash.

I've got some weird stories from when I had a larger flock on my other farm. Chickens raising ducklings, tom turkeys and drake ducks playing pull the tail feathers from the birds, turkey hens that were the world's greatest pick pockets...
It was never dull!

Lol, I have a duck sitting on chicken eggs. I was kinda worried she might kill them when they hatched as non-ducks. If you had chickens raising ducklings, I guess it's not a big deal.

Honestly from all I've seen, they don't know any better lol. She'll raise them as ducks without issue lol. Except for the swimming part .

Made the mistake of looking into the Incubator’s candling light. I’m blind.

Well, we're down to 10 eggs that are for sure viable, and 5 that I'm unsure of...out of 23. 3 of the 6 self blues are still going. 4 of the ones I'm unsure of are out of the one that overheated BADLY, but there were still some definitely viable eggs in there (good movement and vein development, etc).

So...fingers still crossed. If I can actually get a clean hatch from the 100% viable eggs for once, I'll be happy. Even though only 3 self blues seems rather silly. With my luck they'll all be roosters lol.

Good hatch

Not roosters

...you know, an offering to the goddess of the pullets might be helpful.

Right lol? Technically I need a black roo, or a self blue roo, or the self blue hens will be useless lol.

I guess I could give them to Johnny and hope for fluffy lavender fibro Easter Eggers lol.
