Mid January Hatch thread....

Date sort Score sort
It's Day 12 for my little ducky eggs - candling shows only 6 of the 12 are growing. I guess the other 6 were infertile or too shook up from shipping. Still, I'm hopeful that I get a few little calls in a few more weeks.

My broody, Matilda, is all moved into her new diggs. For a second, I thought she was going to reject her little house, but the second I showed her the fake eggs she tucked them under her belly, sat down & hissed at me when I opened to door to put her water dish in the crate. I guess she's happy, LOL!

She hasnt moved an inch, despite the curiosity of her 7wk old pen-mates (her crate door is closed so they cant get in, but they can see her), the commotion I made while cleaning up, and the rumbling of the washer & dryer... I'm guessing that she's gonna be okay? The pen-mates will be moved out into the big coop by the time her eggs hatch and her brood box (a large dog crate) is covered by an old blanket on 3 sides to keep it darker and give her some privacy.

Can I put her eggs under her tonight, or should I wait until tomorrow? She seems pretty content...
 
I have 27 Marans eggs from crfarm and the Gary Farm in my incubator. They are due to hatch the 14th. I just candled tonight and 22 out of 27 are developing. Keeping my fingers crossed! I just adore Marans and am really hoping to add some to my flock. Good luck, everybody!
