June 2023 Hatch-a-long

Oh, that's exciting! What do they offer?

I asked for all her breeds. I know she has cochins, brahmas, bym, Orpingtons.... I asked her for a list. So far from her I have splash Cochins, blue frizzle cochin, splash brahma, lavender Brahmas, lavender Orpingtons. Think that is all.

Hi all! I’ve been remiss in posting here! I’ve had a bit of a lull but I have I believe 42 marans eggs set to hatch June 5th. They are split between the brinsea and bf 360. I’m trying out the 24 egg disk with cardboard underneath as suggested to help it actually turn the eggs.

I shut down the dickeys for a big clean out. The person I hatched 3 big batches for in April wants more eggs set & I’m trying to figure out if I should set them as we’re trying to go out of town at some point.

Ah OK, then I definitely need this

Should I candle the eggs on day 7, because I'm a little scared to do it

I always do.

But if you have a finicky broody, maybe not!

Up till now, she's been a great broody. Pecked while trying to change her eggs, covering them really well. She even pecks at her man when she goes out for her stroll and he gets too close! I'm just scared about how it would work out. I'd have to take her eggs, go to the house and cande them, that takes time

Joining up here, I set 21 Swedish Flower eggs today for a hatch date of June 18. Last two hatches have gone well, hoping for another good one and then I’ll probably be done for the year.

Try your cell phone light. If she gets up at all to eat, wear a dark shirt, and check them inside the shirt! Lol
