Mahonri's 3rd Annual, BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

Thats a beautiful chick. Where did you get the eggs from?

I got up from a nap to find one of the 3 eggs left from the easter hatch, hatched. I candled them before I tossed them out and saw movement in 3. So I left them to cook some more. Glad I did.

I am guessing it was the broody mama. As a mother, I do know why animals eat their young.

I did more blackberry picking today and that's what my dad has planned for the rest of the week. I guess the upside is I lost 2 pounds that I get to gain back in sweets.

My mom is going to make jelly tomorrow after we get back from the feed store. I hope they finally have guinea keets. Of course, it'd be nice if they had some silkies, but there's no way I can talk my dad into getting them. I'll trade someone some fresh blackberry jelly for a couple of silkie chicks?

So yesterday 2 of my broody hens left the nest boxes with their collecting of 11 chicks, but they left 1 egg behind that was pipped, but hadn't hatched yet. I had already cleaned out the incubator (but not unplugged the top half) so I decided to put it on a wet wash cloth in the bator. This morning I woke up to an almost dry game chick. She will be going under one of the broodies tonight and I'll have a whole dozen chicks.
