2 more Iowa Blues zipping!

OK, buttered my English Muffin, called it a biscuit. Got to pry myself away from the action in the incubator (pips and zips all over, chicks jumping the dividers

) and get my behind into town to pick up more wood to finish my brooder/broodie hutch - at least the 2nd door on top so I can seal it and use it for a brooder to move out the 3 week olds and give my hatchies a home.

(toys courtesty of DS2)

Take the toys out, lie the whole thing down?

Two more splits out! One more split pipped and the two lav eggs pipped! OK now where am I going to put all of them (thinking maybe I should have thought of that first?

)

Whats GQF? Is this where you get your incubating supplies?

2 hours later and the 2 that I helped are out. Now I get to wait to see if they survive.

Ok, I guess I don't have a NN baby anymore! Alfred, my silkie, went broody for the first time a few days ago. I let her have a couple eggs, and she stayed on the nest for about four days now. I brought Lola, the NN baby I just hatched out yesterday, out to the nestbox just to see what would happen, and Alfred made a space in the center of her eggs, put Lola in the middle, and nestled everything in again. It was so cute!

I might swap her eggs for the rest of them tonight. I want to see how one goes first, though.

GQF Manufacturing is the company that makes Hovabators and many other incubation supplies.
