Well almost done hatchin.
Half the eggs hatched, rest died right before hatchin. Have 3 to go then done for a few days.
I have a outside baby brooder and last night after work. I found a chick almost dead and cold motionless bleeding from his head. Looks like it fell victim to other chicks peckin his lil head bald. I grabbed it up and placed it in the bator just to see. This mornin it up and peepin and runnin around! Im so happy as its a calico cochin and was so sad to see it dead. So give a few days to recoup and blue kote his bald spot and reintroduce him back with the rest of the peeps.

Had 14 but dropped on yesterday
It was fertile and it just made me sick. Ugh I am at day 7! First time hatching....So excited to see some little fuzzy babies in 2 weeks!!!! I am in the freezing UP so looking forward to spring and warm weather. I feel so bad for all my birds it has been such a cold winter for them and it is all there first winter. I have 6 chickens, 3 rouen ducks, 2 turkeys and 6 guineas.
