March Hatch-A-Long.( How is it gettting here so quick ? LOL )

P.O. called, I'm expecting 2 boxes. Man, it was a long weekend. They stayed in our big sorting facility yesterday, I just know it. The guy said he only saw one box, but wasn't done going through his packages. Crossing fingers, they are both there!

I have a BROODY............................e  

Yay!!!! I'm so jealous! I have lots of eggs ready, which I will incubate with the ones I ordered, but I would LOVE to have a broody to hatch some! It'd be sooooo cute watching babies following their mommy around!!!

Good Morning...................

I have been waiting and waiting to get eggs from my Buff Orps............I had a few set aside..
DH mixed them up yesterday ...........

. Going to try to give eggs to my broody today so guess I will just give her everything
which includes mixed rom my layer flock and a few purebred Orps..........
I can't believe he messed with my eggs...... Sometimes he just tries to help to much.
The first thing he did when he retired was totally rearrange my kitchen while I was at work.
He thought he was helping then also.........wanted him to go back to work...........

Ahh..the retired man. I know the feeling. Mine followed me around like a puppy dog for a few months. Had to find something for him to do. I had heard that this can happen..he was just lost as to what to do after working at the same company for 25 yrs.! Well now, he is also going around like yours, and ...doing stuff! Cleaning..I don't mind. He does have a work shop. So when the weather isn't too cold, he is out there. It's nice having him willing to do more work on a coop or run..especially if it involves wood! He loves working with wood and building things.

I set another 40 or so eggs on Monday, Feb. 17th so I should be expecting mine to hatch around March 10th! It's all Barnevelders this time as my silkie didn't start laying again yet. I'll have to wait until next time to set her eggs.

This is the most eggs I've ever set at once. The first hatch went pretty decent and I have 15 chicks running around in the brooder now! I'd like to candle the eggs already but it took a little while to get the temp up after setting them in the incubator so I'm guessing they are probably a day behind or so...so no candling for a couple more days. I'm hoping there will be something to see by then!

This is the first time I collected eggs for so long before setting them. I had some of them collected for just over two weeks. It is a bit of an experiment to see how that works.

I actually have a double layer of eggs in my 'bator, lol. There's a first time for everything. I figure if they all make it to lockdown I'll remove the turner anyway and then everyone will have some floor space for hatching.

Anyway, happy to be back incubating again!!

I got my NN eggs yesterday. Hoping they are ok after being out for 6 days! P.O. fault. Several of this person's eggs have been stuck in the same spot for a few days. Not sure what's up. Crossing fingers.
