Sounds like a plan. I always forget you're 3 hours earlier than we are here. 

Time zone messes with me as well

And what should I say?

Congrats Ken!
I have 10 little ones heading to the brooder shortly.
I have 3 late bloomers that will stay in the hatcher for a bit, until they are capable of getting around a little better.
2 more Mille fluer, and one of my EEs were the late ones.
But of 13 eggs that made it to lock down, all 13 hatched! 100% for the first time in a loooong time!

Congratulations!!!!!!

#4...not sure 'bout this one. Still soaking wet, not moving much...we'll see

She (

) has moved to the other end of the 'bator...good sign. looks like the 1st black one, or dark, anyway.

Congrats!! Glad she is moving around!!

Wonderful! She'll probably improve as she dries off.

You are way ahead of me, 7 hours I think.

Hey guys how do I get a broody hen to quit being broody

Good morning everyone!
My little malpo made it out overnight!
Tiny little thing, even for a Mille fluer. Youngest GD already named it pipsqueak.
I will have pics a bit later when I move them to the brooder.

Have a great day everyone!

I am happy for you. Where are the pictures?

@kwhites634 Congrats on the two . For the others.

Woke to two more!! That's twenty so far from hatch 2! I still have a dozen egg but my lone blue egg has hatched so I have one from that hen and she's so pretty! I've started sexing them and so far it's looking pretty even which is nice but I hope the blue one is a girl lol because I want to see the egg color differences. But I have more blues I just put in a few days ago so either way I will be ok I guess. I still haven't gotten photos!!

There is a thread something about using a cage. I will look for it.
Yeah, just type in how to beak a broody and there is a good thread on the cage and suggestions.

Haybee- likely half blue English Orpington half speckled Sussex
l

LeeLee - likely half silver penciled rock half white rock

Olive -olive egger (half olive egger half barnevelder)

Lottie - likely half silver penciled rock half speckled Sussex
These are our keeper pullets so far!! I have 3 left to sex and the rest are

these two olive eggers with the same parents I think I can't sex these two long feathers but they're even so ? Maybe boys- hubs calls the sticky head one friar tuck and the other one big head hehe

and this little guy I think is either a sibling to the above gray one? Or ? I don't know he's super cute but a boy
And I have 1 more olive egger same dad different mom but it just hatched early am and I have 2 more blacks to sex but it looks like it's what I posted here and 4 black & blue boys and 6 more black & blue girls I think that all adds up lol there are 20 total from hatch 2.
I will also keep any olive eggers from this hatch that are pullets though seeing as there aren't many and they're their first babies... I'm a dork lol. Thanks for suggesting the little spiral bands that's easiest for us and I did not know they made them THIS small!! They're very amused by them and freaking out about them!! I think we are going to look over the first batch a bit and get them a little socialized they're freaked because that brooder is up. So people peer down in and scare them

Lock her out of the coop till the other birds roost... Works for me... Carry her around the yard. Give her some watermelon... Generally disrupt what she's doing... Or this year I went out and said hi Dora and she got out of the nest she's been sitting all week... I was going to give her some eggs! Lol
