We have a pip!! This is our first hatch moment ever! We are thrilled!

Update: my app had lockdown to begin today, 6 days before hatch. Well I candled and I've got 4 internal pips! My suspicions about the blue australorp starting them for me are correct. So, I have 14 muscovys in incubator, and gave the 5 iffy eggs to the crazy broody muscovy. (Ignore the thermometer, I only just put it back in)

@Willowspirit Yeah, you can leave the light on it wont hurt them

@Willowspirit Some chick's hatch during the day, so I don't see that leaving the light on at night would hurt the process.

I discovered starbucks today, of course this far from civilisation it only comes in pod form, but I can totally see my self as an addicted New yorker .

Aahh we don't like Starbucks here.. they have a very discriminating policy against normal people.

I don't know if people can envision this, but the back and two sides will all be tin (three sides covered). The front will be a door and metal fencing. I'm making two for my meat chickens. I'll be making a roosting bar and a few other things for them. I didn't know what to do with the railings so somehow I got this vision.
They're like moveable chicken coops with a grass/dirt floor.

Is this a table? I am still not sure what you mean by chicken tractor but I'll survive. I would like to see the end result. I have these moveable cages, but they are not proof against wild animals and we have lots here including rats and polecats . And a fox snuck some of my neighbor's 4-month chicks last night.

And I have at least one chick that hatched! Pip last night, as I said more than 24 hours earlier than planned and I hear it chirping now. I can't see it though And since there were a few pips I don't want to open the incubator.. After this hatch I may need to remodel this incubator to have a transparent lid.

Starbuck's will never get me to help them get rich. I never drink their coffee, even though I drink a lot of coffee.
