So hop on a plane, I will pick you up at the airport.

lock down.....shhhhhhhhhh 50 eggs (mostly icelandics) Candled healthy and moving!

Just keep your hand off that temperature knob! Good luck! (and you're going to need a big brooder for 50 chicks!)

Joyous start knocking out those Nella Brooders !

I need about 7-8 of them , a couple 2' high and about 6 8' long by 4' H.

It will be, the 2' ones will nicely double deck. I will be moving somewhere here in MI this year so these are the easiest to move.

Who else has Icelandics incubating?

I am going to be doing both RC featherlegged this year and standard SCs, probably about 2:1 I think.

Isi gets hens plus a white feather legged who is SC so I am hoping the featherlegs get well represented in the flock. We shall see.

ME......I DO!!

36 Icelandics.....I'll be candling tonight to see what we got. I put in 3 of Elska's pullet eggs just to see if they'd hatch. They are kinda small still. I have two confirmed broodies and a possible third. I need at least one more before next weekend so each will have 9 or fewer eggs.

Joy's are a little over a week ahead of mine.....can't wait to see pics!

Joy, Did you separate them by the pen written on the egg or are they all together?

 

[Jake Levi]

Wow !

Good luck Ladies, hope to hear good things by the weekend ! Do want to see those Icelandic numbers growing !

I'm hoping by fall to have ~ 2 dz hens/pullets, and 3-4 roosters, and many of them with feathered legs. And crests .

Here are the first pictures!!!! These are mostly Mary (not a farm)s Icelandics with a few of my own cuckoo and red dorkings. Mary I didn't think to divide them up so they are all mixed up. So far temp and humidity all good!

 

[NotAFarm]

Yay, it won't be long now!!

Going out side to work on the new chicken coop 10 by 16 , going to divide it into separate pens for my future roos and hens....! hope I'm not counting my eggs before they hatch!!!
