Haha! Wow! Yeah, yesterday was COLD. And it's been raining for like 2 weeks straight. It's up to 36 now though and my family is outside in t-shirts.Lol, I love cold weather, it gets waaaay too hot here in the summer but it's like watermelon planting season here right now so I was really surprised to hear it's snowing there!
Is that the automatic turner does it hold 22 eggs I think I have the same one when I might have a smaller version I'm not sure..
Yes it holds 22 eggs in the turner. There aren't really any variant of the NR 360, but the newer version looks a tiny bit different.
Nine is a lot though I must have done something wrong thermometer he is good 99.5 always perfect all nine eggs were fertile.
I have that one My daughter bought it for me for a gift they're really nice.
Same! It says that I'm "watching" the thread but no notifications in a long time :-(NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
I... lost notifications for this thread!
Oh well...... Your chicks are so cute! @MGG
Okay you ready. First time hatching I had 12 eggs they came from my father's chickens I had no idea what the heck I was doing so MGG bless her heart. What she had to go through with me I feel so bad. Long long story short out of the 12 eggs I got five beautiful babies. They're 20 days old today and I swear if it wasn't for MGG I don't think I could have done it I was going cuckoo. My dad saw and he was so proud that I hached five eggs because he does not have good luck at all so he gave me 22 and ask me can I do those for me too. I'm like yeah sure I'm an expert now I know what I'm doing
. Put the 22 eggs in 7 days candled every single one was good except one that lit up wasn't fertile so I was with 20 14 days candled nine stopped developing looks like early on I have 12 now 
. All the eggs came from his flock. So the answer is I got five chicks out of 12 from the same flock. And I just lost 9 out of 20 on the 14th day and I have 7 days left and 4 days till lockdown sorry this was so long but that is the whole kit and caboodle.
@MGG tried to tell me how it was a bad idea to have one chick alone but everything I planned for the chick fell through or I didn't follow through. @MGG im sure you recall Marionette, my little blue Serama pullet. I'm still working on integrating her with 2 Dutch Bantam Pullets that are about 2 weeks older than her and their Silkie mom. She has finally started spending more time on the ground. Before she wanted to be up high like humans. You'd never find her on the ground unless she was searching for someone to fly up to. Whenever she was going broody, she would get so mean. I'm guessing she didn't understand what was going on and didn't have enough activated chicken instincts to figure things out. She still sleeps indoors and has become more gentle. It was crazy. I believe she thought she was supposed to be mean because the chickens were mean to her so in turn she would occasionally be mean to us (worse with boodiness). I've been integrating her for months now and she's been around these birds her entire life.Yup! Mine did it anywhere. Even on a pallet. That was kind of funny, because the chicks kept falling through the slats, and the mama kept freaking out because her chicks were disappearing.
She eventually figured out not to warm her chicks up on the pallet, lol!
It sounds really fun and all, but it's really not a good idea. I tried it. The chicken was so sweet, but crazy clingy. If I left to go anywhere, she'd get depressed. She was so lonely. I had to go on a trip with my family, so I started integrating her in with another chicken. My poor girl didn't know how to "be" a chicken. She hated the other hen, and it seemed to make her more upset. The hen who I had put in with her was upset because she missed the flock. So I just put them both in with the flock (I was leaving the next day) and the caretaker told me that she was just laying in a corner. She was fine, the other birds just completely ignored her. It's like the others didn't even know she was there. She was so lonely, she didn't get along with the other birds and they paid no attention to her whatsoever. I tried to raise another bird for her that was just as tame, nothing worked out. I had a chicken who couldn't stand being alone, and who couldn't even live a chicken's life. Eventually, one of my other hens killed her overnight. She was probably trying to snuggle under one and got attacked. She just didn't fit in, it was so sad. If you want to raise a tame one, raise at least two together so one will have a chicken friend. I felt so bad for my poor girl, she was never accepted.
Sounds like it was eventful, lol!
Yep! Everyone is good here. I have another broody. She's been sitting on rocks for 2 days.
