I really hate the PO. I sure hope you get something. They are really cute chicks.

I know right? I have some EE's that are bad too, the eggs are huge, so maybe that will help. Often times the big eggs don't do so well, but you would not believe the Marans chick I hatched last month. That egg was one of the largest I've ever hatched..and, it had a huge air sac..so, hoping these others will do well. They look happy so far! :)
 
@ maah - thank you I figured it wouldn't plus I can still turn the eggs when I go to get chicks out lol!


And go figure I started to collect eggs for this man and I got a good egg count yesterday and got 4 out of 8 today. Slackers, hopefully I'll have them all by tomorrow evening when the guy comes to get them!!! I only need 6 more haha.
 
Well, fired up my home made incubator now used as a brooder so I can transfer my eggs to it for lock down. Still got turkey eggs to incubate so can't just stop the turner.
22 eggs to transfer tonight. 9 Australorp, 3 BCM, and 10 Ameraucanas.
And I didn't candle them as I've just gotten my high powered light, so during transfer aI can weed out the dead or undeveloped eggs.
How's the nail chewing going out there? I'll just kick back with a good science fiction movie of one form or another and wait for the pipping once I get them moved.
 
I have babies..and one is a NN from a small silkie egg..makes for a showgirl? Black and white. Interesting.
 
Congrats go all of the new babies!

Sorry about you loosing your hen :(

I have been so busy and sick and now the kids are on spring break! All 5 of them. Ahhhhhhh

Well I did get a new incubator. It holds 1300 eggs! Got 4 dozen in there right now. And my small incubator is full for the Easter hatch!
My daughter said mom you are out of retirement now and a full time chicken lady addict.. Lol

Igot some quail sat so going to build them a coop tomorrow. Been reading up on the nutrition of them and I am amazed. I have leukemia and have recently developed fibromyalgia so I am hoping these eggs will help me feel better.i am willing to try anything at this point.
