My Feed bill just went up!

[Riffecreek]

I think my feed bill just went through the roof!! These will be used for layers and meat birds...
I set 10 dozen eggs from a local seller for my first run of the year in the incubator.. I took out only 11 clears at day 7. Yesterday I had 20 out but most wasn't dry. and this is what I woke up to this morning!!

As of right now, 94 are out and all but 2 of the remaining eggs are pipping.

Ps.. sorry for the poor pic quality, I took them with my wife's Ipod touch.


These two came out to meet me when I opened the door!

and the view of the bottom (took them out of the hatching tray as the big stock is all cramped up in it)

Holy smoke, you have a wonderful *huge* batch of fuzzy butts! Congratz!

I just wish I could hold that many around here.

Congrats to you!!

I could NEVER try that many eggs, for one my bator is small and 2, my hubby would kill me.

If we get at least 6 out of our 17 eggs, I will be happy.

lol I have 4 pens atm, and adding more this year!! This is a small hatch compared to the first one last year of 215 chicks!

Btw, 96 chicks are out, looks like the others are not going to make it out.. 80% hatch on this one..

And I thought I had a lot of birds. You take the cake! or rather, feed sack. I hope you get your feed in bulk!
