July Hatch-a-Long (including 4th of July hatch-a-long)

[kelseyk]

Bad day here yesterday on the older chick front!! Moved them outside to a grow out pen Friday night and something got in and killed over half of them! I had my big cry and then cleaned up and made
Sure what was left could not be harmed. Just when you think you are safe you find out your not.
On a happier note 11 beilefelder eggs went into lockdown last night along with some java and polish/silkies. Woke up this morning to a fluffy Java in the bator.

I am so sorry.

Sorry about the loss.

Congrats on all the new hatchlings.

Weather here is still in the high sixties to mid seventies. I am going to say I wish we had 90s right now but just know if we did I would be there with you all, wishing for cooler weather.

First pip on the shipped crevecoeur eggs! Tomorrow is hatch day so I am interested to see if they are early birds as well.

Of course I came home from work and look what I found. I guess I can't count to 6 anymore. Actually I never saw the sixth but she found it during the day.

@CluckNDoodle breaking a broody will have no effect on her future propensity for brooding will it?

My Blue Footed Booby is still holding strong on her 9 eggs. She’s a Beast of a bantam! She takes no bull from anyone! I hope they all hatch because she was mating with Elvis my booted bantam! She’s a bantam gold laced polish... imagine what these will look like Mind-blown!

We sold 3 Polish Deathlayers today. they were very happy with the look.

Correct, as a matter of fact she may try again next month. Lol

"Scoop 'um up' kid!" Thank you for sharing. That made my day! Glad you found the little guy and were able to save it.
