Good Morning! --- I should say GREAT Morning... its amazing what a couple hours of uninterrupted early morning sleep does after selling off another 6 roos! We are down to 2 adults (but growing some more!)
 
Good morning Everyone!

Good morning!
By next week at this time I will have my eggs set. They should ship Wednesday and arrive Friday or Saturday. I'm a bit nervous about this hatch. I wish my cockerels had figured out how to mate the hens so I could test the bator on free eggs, but my flock goals involve getting this all figured out more quickly so I bit the bullet on shipped eggs. I want my Brabanter flock going strong by summer. At only 15 eggs/ hatch I'll be hatching every single month until December.
Maybe I'll be inspired to build my 32 egg incubator. I'm gathering free materials now. I'm going to raid my Dad's garage because he saves everything. And my garage because I take after my Dad. Haha.
I also have to get my coop arranged for separating my Brabanters from the rest of my flock. Lots of waiting and building in my future. I hope everyone is well.

Not unless you candle 'em again. The heat from the bulb in the candler stimulates them. Matter of fact, if you're turning manually, might as well candle them every time while you've got the lid off anyway

good morning everyone

actually got some sleep for a change that was a shock to the system 5 hours uninterupted lol

Can't wait for weather to get warmer here all the chickens are laying again , and after showing them the baby chick before it got to gold, got several thinking about actually brooding themselves lol
 
Good morning y'all!

Nothing has changed on the 2 eggs that pipped yesterday. Just holes in the shel and I can faintly see their beaks, it has been like that for about 15 hours now. But all 5 of the other eggs are pipped now and I hear chirping!!

Oh no.... I didn't candle them yet, will they be okay??? :eek:
Wow, I did so many things wrong..... I am using an auto turner. I really should turn them by hand to ensure temps dropping, right?

:gig
