Making green eggs (and ham) A Seussy hatch-a-long

[talkinboutchickens]

Ha! Yes! Isn’t it crazy how fast they grow?!
My incubator isn’t super fantastic either, I think I ended up with about a 50% hatch rate overall as well - but we had just lost our rooster so I l’m sure that I wasn’t starting with 100% fertilized eggs.

Oh no I'm so sorry for your loss

I just set them Friday the 2nd! So 2..and a half-ish?
I’m going to start 12 more in another incubator tomorrow.
I ~try~ to patiently wait to candle until day 5, we’ll see

Can I have the other barred rock (#1), and name it Pearl? If it's a boy, Putz.

What I do since I can't be patient either, is I candle one egg each day to see their progress.
Come on Mary Lou and the Suess Eggies!
