July 2022 Hatch-A-Long

[FreedomFarm13]

That’s fantastic! Did you start them Monday night or Tuesday? I can’t remember what you decided.

Monday at about noon, but didn't turn til Wednesday afternoon.

Monday at about noon, but didn't turn til Wednesday afternoon.

Got it. So day 5 for them. It’s going so quickly. It seems like everyone else’s hatches fly by. Then my own take forever.

Went into lockdown yesterday with 12 eggs (some are questionable as they are too dark to see through when candling). Some have started rocking including a couple of the ones that I was unsure on. Hatch day should be Monday. Getting excited to see what hatchs.

That prehatch rocking is sooooo exciting!

3 more overnight -- which was what I expected when I set them.

Chickens with names aren't factored into flock count either

In that case I don’t even have chickens!

I have those same waterers. For about 2 years maybe. I’ve really liked them. They’ve held up well under heavy use in all weather conditions.

I got them specifically because a lot of reviews said that the reservoir was perfect for small chicks because of how narrow it is. So far they are perfect! All the rest of my waterers are horizontal nipples.

P.S. The pale one is the earliest bird of all -- hatched about 12 hours ahead of the others. On day 19, instead of day 20.
