I have enjoyed this winter. My chickens have had a chance to be out much more this year than the last 2 winters. It’s not all that warm yet today but it’s sunny so it opened up and let them wonder out.
I couldn’t help myself and started hatching already. First group I gave to my trusty broody shadow as she went broody at lockdown, second group hatch date tomorrow I’ll keep them in the brooder. Fertility wasn’t all that great so just small groups.

Hi, everyone, We finally fired up the incubator this week to start our spring hatching. It's my family's favorite thing to do. We made the incubator out of a mini frig and put a window in the front. For the next 3 weeks, our kids will have their noses pressed against the glass, waiting for hatch day. We had too many eggs for the incubator, so we brought inside two sweet broody girls and made nests for them in the basement. They are so cute on their nests! They are bantam speckled sussex girls. And they talk to me when I go check on them. I'll bet they do a better job than our incubator!
