[chickiebaby1]

I just set another 124 eggs today. My last hatch sold before I could get them in the brooder!!

I added another three quail eggs.

I have 11 that I’m trying to decide if I should incubate them or give them to my purse dog I haven’t candled the other ones in the incubator yet.

I want to freshen up my covey...

Someone near-ish by has Celadon. I might get some. I admit that I too was tempted to stop keeping quail. Duckling said to keep them, so I will. That is why I have to keep putting eggs in. 2 girls, six boys is an obvious problem.

I set 12 Rouen duck eggs on April 13, they should be hatching around May 11th. So far, so good, they are all developing.

It is "cute" to see a hen sitting on 40 eggs, but at this point for you WI, I would candle and mark ones that look to be the same age (aircell the same size) keeping the best doz. for her, and incubate the rest.

I was in the garden, a good distance from the coop, and I could smell when the broodies came out. Oh, broody poo stiiiiinks! I think another egg broke yesterday. I don’t see one, and I know the main roo ran in there to get away from me. I was checking him over.

It's day 4, and I can see veins beginning in 4 of the 5 Leghorn eggs, and 2 of the 3 Dorking eggs. One of each appears to be clear, but it is still too early to tell.
