I'm probably crazy but I'm going to try hatching a egg with my body heat. Hatch-Along

I couldn’t stay up with all you youngns last night, I’m too old for all that & on the east coast lol.

That's fine, I probably won't be able to either when I'm older.

She's adorable! Barred rock I'm guessing. It always makes me sad when I go into tractor supply and all the chicks have severe cases of pasty butt, it makes me want to take all the pasty butts home to wash them and get them the care they need.

Do it!

 

[LavenderDaFlerf]

Do it!

I can't because my space limit and there are always like 45 chicks with it.

I figured. Not a chance of getting like 10?

Thank you! Yup! She’s one of my 3 barred rocks. They seem to be a super friendly breed, although all of mine are great around people and generally won’t run away if you move slowly around them. We got her from a local breeder, and she was fine the first day, but we had to drive 90 minutes to pick her up & I think she got stressed from the drive and being in the box.

I wish, but no.

That's awesome, I've never had shipped chicks imprint on me.

My chicks didn't become friendly until they started laying at 20 weeks old.

Can we get an update on how the hatch is going? Thanks!

 

[Pierre duck drake]

How's the hatch going? @Chicken girl2671, Have you candled the egg yet?

 

[LavenderDaFlerf]

five days in, I cracked it open because it was a very pale egg and saw nothing when candling and it was infertile.
