Your market is safe. Mine will all be giveaways primarily to kids.

If I can get away NY sounds fun! It's on my birthday after all.... Mmmm grey goose...

Birthday, eh? And how many years are we celebrating? Maybe calls for TWO bottles of goose!

You forgot... I'm coming and staying THERE this time... better make it three bottles....

I just looked at the calendar and realized that it's been three weeks since Chickenstock and my marans eggs are due tomorrow.
Say a prayer. I haven't candled at all!!

Got my fingers crossed for Yah! I have 2 of the 5 of silver laced polish that made it to lockdown with 2 hatched already and 2 with pips! My marans havent done anything yet, but I have cochins from and OE that are on the move... from Sachasmom and CottageGarden. The duck eggs are 20/20 still in the bator! Yehah I love hatching!​

Out of the dozen eggs we brought home, only 1 hatched and 1 pipped, and died.

We are swimming in chicks right now though, so though we are a bit bummed, we still have lots of fuzzy butts to cheer us up.

We did have the electricity go out on us during week 2, so that may have had something to do with it.

I have 4 buff laced Polish out, with 2 more working as we speak, at 2 bantam Salmon Faverolles! Fingers crossed for a few more pips!

Three weeks after Chickenstock is like 9 months after a snowstorm???

My eggs are hatching now from PA Chickenstock - naked necks from Nava, and silver penciled plymouth rock bantam from Peeps, Inc. So far, 4 NN's and 6 of the SPPRB

Can't remember who got my eggs, the mixed banty's, cochin, ee and light brahma. Wanted to know if I had any grandchickys yet. Please let me know. Thanks.

I have a marans pip! I'll head for bed now and trust that they will hatch.

 

[they'reHISchickens]

A day later...6 or seven in there now and more pipping.
How do you keep the humidity from exploding in there once they start hatching? I'm trying to keep it from 60-70% but it's going more like 75-90%
I don't know if we are going to even NEED a brooder with this heat and humidity! I just replaced one side of my brooder box with screening. Cleo's gonna love that.
