Oh I've raised chicks, these are from my backyard flock, and I have 3 month old pulletts I raised. But I've never incubated or hatched them before,that to me is harder than raising chicks or chickens, and alot more stressful lol
Congratulations! Sleep well tonight.
 
The tale of the abandoned eggs.

They were internally pipped (a day from hatch) last Wednesday when Lagertha abandoned her nest. They were cold overnight and then Cinder has been off and on since then. Today I checked and she was on a dead chick and two cheeping eggs. So I put the two in the incubator. Then the power went out.

I came home from picking up the littles and there's a very cold, fully hatched chick! The power is back on, so we'll see how the other goes. :fl
What a mess. :fl.
 
The coop is so much quieter and calmer without the extra four drakes. I am so relieved. I am sure the chickens are too. Especially the moms. The babies aren't in danger of being trampled so much anymore. I thought it was funny to see the chicks find the small hole leading to the (now) empty side of the coop. They keep jumping in and out. It seems like a game to them.

I had an emergency work on my kitchen sewerage. DW have found all the kitchen sink full with water, so I started in the sink no problem there, in the control box outside no problem there, so the only conclusion is the sewerage! :sick
So we worked for 2 ouers she only hold me the light and I did all the EASY job :lau a fair division off the work! :gig
So now I am clean and have a nice smell, but can't sleep! So I am resting before going to bed.

That stinks, glad you got it taken care of :hugs

Ok my freinds it is the time to go to bed! Good night!

Good afternoon y'all.... Errands run, horses exercised, coop cleaned, naughty guineas caught, dog run fenceposts set, sultans moved out of quarantine, and house a little bit cleaner. Is it bedtime yet??


Haven't given into the urge to set more eggs yet.....
