Loaded my incubator today 13 Delaware eggs from Stacy Tate
12 Delaware eggs from Nancy Gerry
and 16 eggs from my comets

We will see what hatches from it.

Hatched like popcorn!!!

40 Silkie and Sizzle eggs went into lockdown on Wednesday. They started hatching Thursday. By Friday Night I had 11. But Saturday, OMG

It was like watching popcorn pop.

Right now I have 33 happy chicks eating and pooping everywhere

Oh, I did put 12 Showgirl eggs in the bator today, AND I have 15 Buff Lace Polish coming Wednesday

I thought this site was supposed to help me

I think it is helping we are all able to talk about our addiction and realize that it's okay to have 400 chickens growing in the back bedroom

Just popped 40+ eggs in the bator

9 marans, 7 lav am, (and got two chicks too

), 4 dark brahams, 14+ prod reds and a few last from my BSL roo cuz they are so pretty.

Question, will I be able to combine my chicks that are 2 weeks older than the new babies and if so when?

one more I have this ee roo

and a Wheaten Am roo that does not have a beard and muffs which one would you put with the ee and why?


Hubby has agreed to let me have a room in our shop to put chicks and the incubator in

there is a water heater in the room and it will be easier to keep warm than the shop with 20ft tall ceilings and cold! He said we will start clearing it out tomorrow!!!!

Would you please have your husband call my husband to explain how important it is that we use the garage shop as a hatching/brooder room?

We just had this conversation today and I got a big NO. Why can't he just understand?

I NEED that space!!!

Is it HIS garage? That maybe the difference. We bought this place for this SHOP 4000sft (Not including the second floor)so I could have MY SHOP but I didn't need all that space. I have about 1100 sft and the middle is kinda community area. This office is just a pass through to get to the shop... just 10x 10 or 12x 12 not huge. My son suggested the second floor storage space be a dedicated chicken area

that would be about 2000-2500 sft

I don't think they have figured out I WILL fill it up!

I recieved a package of eggs from Deb yesterday morning, and after being in the mail 5 days and getting rough treatment from the P.O. all arrived safe and sound!!

Never have I before seen such packing! I'm going to convert over to the way you pack yours!

Hooray for the perfect condition-arriving shipped egg, and blessings on the uber-packers!!!
