Michigan Hatchers! What'cha got cookin?

[Peep-Chicken]

I hope I don't fall in love with them and have to put another addition on our hammie tub houses! Although with me it will be very likely.

I know I would manage to name each one!

Our eggs are still doing well in the bator but now we've got these little squirming bundles ...

Those must be some crazy eggs!!

We were going to put eggs in the gator yesterday, but we dropped 12 on the floor, so know we are waiting another week.

well, tonight will be the end of day 10.....so I had to go try and candle these eggs and see whats up. Most are pretty dark brown and dont let a lot of light through...but I could tell that all but two had a "dark mass" in them. Im hoping this is a good sign. The other two were a uniform brightness. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I put 51 total under broodies Thursday.

Sunday night I broke 1. Flashlight it and no veins. Flashlight the other 50, only found 6 others with no veins. So I say pretty good! Even saw tiny lil hearts beating in most.

Marans eggs gotta be tough to candle even with the best light...or maybe it's a matter of practice/experience.
Not as much fun hatching if you can't candle and see what's going on.

I think I have some EE and Welsummer eggs to add to my hatch plans....not sure tho.

lol....Im no expert. I got lucky and found a little LED flashlight that is pretty bright...http://www.meijer.com/s/rayovac-virtually-indestructible-sport-led-flashlight/_/R-240104. I'll probably check them again just before lockdown and hope for the best.
