MARCH 2021 HATCH-A-LONG 🌷🌸🌼

[HenneryTheEighth]

Just went out to the coop and found my broody sitting on the shelf all upset because another hen was in her nest. She then decided I would be a good vantage point to watch and wait for it to open up.

She looks quite put out.

Adult birds aquirred. Mama has only laid a few eggs before the texas cold snap. So hoping she'll start back up soon.

Just tossed 16 clears, possibly non fertile, but most likely non developed due to detached air cells. These eggs could not have been packed better. Only 2 days on the way. Always the risk with shipped eggs.
Have 8 left, 5 of which look great, the other 3 are doing something, but may end up being blood rings. I will have to keep any chicks that hatch out of these, will not be worth it to sell them!

I had put some eggs in my incubator for a March hatch, but ran out of fertility. (Since I put down my roosters.) These 2 just hatched and are probably the last of their babies...+one more egg developing. I may not have a March hatch.

LO/BR "Anticipation", and a partridge maran/RIR "Roxy".

TOMORROW I get my Cream Legbar eggs. TODAY my broody decided to stop being broody. She is still doing the broody cluck, but roosted in the rafters of the coop tonight. Some other hen was in her nest box, so maybe that made her roost elsewhere?

I am quite put out right now.

Been a couple of months since I have been on - took a couple months off of hatching and now hoping to be back into it in March. I have orders in for Bresse, Welsummer, and Isbar Eggs and re-contacting the person I was to get Tolbunt Polish from last fall (her chickens went to molt when I was to get my eggs) as well as trying to find Pita Pinta eggs. Hatching the last of the breeds I want while I work on breeding pens to hatch chicks to sell (hoping to have full breed chicks for sale by mid April). I also need to build another building (as a split coop) and build corresponding runs to split my flock up into different (smaller) groups.

I'm down to 9/16 on day 10. I'm holding on to 3 hoping to see something at day 14, but I'm pretty sure they're done. I'm going to throw a few eggs in there that were given to me as eating eggs. They've been in the fridge over a week so I'm not getting my hopes up but you never know.

I candled 14 american bresse eggs yesterday day 7, 12 look like they are developing and 2 can't see. All the air cells look great, no detached air cells
