How wonderful! I'm hatching blue and black copper marans and Wheaton ameraucanas. So exciting! They are so cute! Thanks for the pic. I love seeing those cuties!

Hey that's great! What day are you on? I love seeing them too. I've got a black copper hen that's determined to go broody. So guess I'll put a few eggs under her even though I don't really need the chickens. I also breed Welsummers so I think that's what kind I'll be giving her. I hate to waste a good thing by not letting her do what Mother Nature intended for her to do. Lol!

I've been following this thread all along but haven't posted. We made a cooler bater out of things we had laying around. The hydrometer I had was of life proximately 10 percent and when I did my final candle the air self on all the eggs was very very small. I went into lockdown Saturday morning with little hope of anything hatching. I really thought they were all going to drowned. As of yesterday evening when I left for work it was still Grimm. And then this morning when I got home I head 3 Pips! !!Oh check that as I'm reading this one more just pipped oh my goodness I can't believe it. this is our first try trying to incubate eggs so it is very exciting thank you for listening to me rant. oh and by the way we started with 11 eggs 1 got dropped I'm broke while turning and 1 quitter 9 went into lockdown kickin and move in so that's our story everyone else is stories and input thus far that I've read has been very encouraging and helpful.
