Good Morning everyone!! Got a blessing yesterday!! (well... get them everyday but, a special one yesterday) went to buy some veggie plants at our local greenhouse last night after work and they had huge palate shelving (I'm sure for shipping plants) for free!!! We looked and they make perfect brooders!!! Got two last night and send Steve to get two more this morning. We have build a new brooder every night this week and most of last week. It's getting really busy around here. On another note... I have 2 empty trays in my incubator- I candled last night and checked on all the eggs and I was shocked to have 2 empty spaces. Hmm.. Mrheinz eggs going in tonight and Madamwlf going in probably Saturday and some space fillers from my flock- that should fill them up till Sunday when Turkeys go in to lockdown- don't really know what I am going to do if all 24 bourbon turkeys actually hatch but, so far they are all on schedule and growing perfectly. I had a great hatch of BLRW from Papa that just finished in the hatcher yesterday. That will be very good since my BLRW hen is still broody!!! I keep putting 18-19 day old eggs under her and so far no luck and her big butt is still broody. That makes one BLRW, One Chocolate orp (luckily the other one either didn't really go broody or snapped out of it quickly), another Coronation Sussex, and a Silver Penciled Rock. So far... I have never had a Swedish flower, gold laced brahma, lavender orp, or easter egger go broody.
