June 2023 Hatch-a-long

[gimmie birdies]

I didn't get him yet, maybe tonight or tomorrow. I have more hens than this but these are my laying/breeding hens who will be romanced by the LO.
Below is Beatrice, she is a Blue copper maran, hopefully we will lighten that up...

Below is "Isabella" She is a blue EE.

Below is Bluebelle, she is a bluebell egger.

Below is a NN, I have 2 hens, it would be fun to get a lavender NN. This is Rusty.

This is "Golt." She is a gloden spitzenhauben.

Below is Nell. Her mom was a blue frizzle, it would be nice to get the blue color back.

Below is Fancy Nancy a frizzle NN no relation to Nell...

Don't you love it when they blink right as you take a pic? BCM

Below is another blinking Blue isbar, (funny when she started to lay-blam! Her comb got large and red.

Lastly I have 2 AC's and one Mozaic that looks like an AC but lays a gray egg.

13 hens.
Plus 2 more, I have a blue laced wyandotte, i forgot to mention... She is also doing the blinky thing...

And this steelegger too!

And now here I am, in the June hatch-a-long as well.
One of my silkies went broody Tuesday, I gave her 6 of her own eggs- (Not even sure if they're fertile though, she's a loner bird.. )

If i did the math right they should hatch around June 20th? Correct me if I'm wrong.
I also set 3 assorted serama eggs, 4 assorted polish eggs, and 5 assorted silkie eggs in the incubator the same day. Getting two more surprise dozens tomorrow, which will be set right after I get them. I'll update y'all on what they are when i get them .

My broody RIR has a lot of sisters trying to lay in the next that she made in the corner of the coop. The egg count under her is a lost cause. I just wish she would hatch 2 or 3 so she would get some mama experience and I could toss the other eggs and then begin to use those eggs from the other hens and hopefully get them back to laying in the rollout box. I think I'm starting a few Bresse eggs this weekend and those should hatch around the 25th of June.

We got some White American Bresse chicks this spring and just recently rehomed them to the in-law farm because they have the room and no code on quantity where as we do. I'll post a pic of them in the brooder.

Just put 33 eggs into lockdown. Only had 3 late quitters in the new (old) incubator. Glad I got a chance to test it out!

I always say it’s my last batch of the year, but here we are again BC1 Olive Eggers under various brown layers. Mostly I’ve seems like the BCM gets the most action, but our mystery roo produced a stunningly gorgeous olive over an EE. We’ve never gotten an answer on what he is and I’m soooooo curious!

Woke up to 10 babies today! The next few days should be exciting!

That's so exciting! Mines on 12 eggs right now so we will see what come of it

I don't know why I find this little white tail so adorable!

So from the attack I have 2 buckeyes 3 deathlayers 3 orloffs and the mystery chick left 1 sanjak was alive but had bad gash on its back I'm not sure it will make it I'm really devastated
