June Hatch-A-Long

[FortCluck]

We picked up our last two boxes of eggs from the po today. They're settling for a day, then into the bator they go! After this hatch, we have to return the incubator to its owner, so this will be it for us, at least until I buy an incubator of my own!

What type of eggs did you get?

Some bantam cochins, and bantam EEs. The tiny little blue eggs are beautiful!

I currently have a Black East Indie female that has been spending a lot of time on her nest for the last three days. Well today I am not aware of her leaving the nest at all.

When I checked in with her to remove the fake egg, she went all dragon duck on me and bit me when I swiped the fake egg.

Right now she has 5 eggs.

Day 15 here and so far we are still 12 for 12. Everyone looking good. These are silkies, and some kind of surprise bantams. Monday is lockdown!
After these I have 6 lavender Orpington eggs and 6 pure Ameraucana eggs coming, and that will complete hatching for us this year! (Unless I find something I can’t say no to...............likely.....).

I don’t know exactly what to do with a broody Duck. I so far have been making sure none of the others try to push her out or climb on top of her nest.

I think that’s about all you can do. Ours was trying to sit on my bantam who is broody the bantam wanted to kill her oh the joys of farming
