I have a 22nd hatch date but we all know that could be 2-3 days swing either way so anyone near there could have the 24th Hatch.
On a side note I finally have a pipped keet in the batch of 10 I got from the broody guinea nest. She was out and about for feed but no pips on nest. I get her feed ASAP as soon as I see her when I do so she can run back to her nest. Hasn't stayed around any time when she gets a nibble. Devoted mama.
Rouen duck didn't set after dz eggs in nest so I dropped em in bator........ July hatch open yet......
Its not all my fault. The birds just keep laying eggs
And kinda like El i get to work with what I have. So 1 breeding pair of rouens wil hopefully give me a nice size flock next year. And when the buffs mature it will be the same all over again. Was 2-3 year for the guineas. And my chickens are being agreeable too, these are breeding their replacements being 3-5+ yrs old.
And even though my cows were out and in neighbors garden yesterday they said if I wanna breed back my cows just let em run with theirs because they run a bull. Guess it saves fencing time when the bull splits the fence to get to my girls. Besides I was gonna let em in my pasture to mow it down. W/O my bull they don't keep it knocked down alot. We have a great arrangement with our neighbors. I supply water and occasional help with cattle. They supply me with firewood I cut, junk scrap I take in. Winter hay free of charge and free stud service. Wish everyone had the great neighbors I do.
And also get 200 +/- acres to hunt when seasons are open.

, after she put them down! My first set of eggs arrived when I was out to lunch with the words FRAGILE, LIVE and HATCHING EGGS scrawled all over the box. When I came back from lunch the lady in our front office told me they were awfully quiet the whole time and she hoped they weren't all dead. 
I hope your hatch goes well
