No the one to the bottom left in the 2nd picture, unless that is one of your older hens.

Oh yeah she snuck in the pic that is a austrolorp hen

I'm asking for a really good foot spa and a shotgun

The foot spa idea is great! I think I'm going to steal it and get one for my tiny human. Thanks! (She's not very tiny anymore and super hard to buy for).

I have been the unfortunate idiot who has cracked a single egg in BOTH of my hatching processes... under Xena AND in the brooder. Now, I am doing another incubator hatching for New Years, and I am tempted to ONLY let the PIC touch the eggs!!!

https://img-9gag-fun.9cache.com/photo/aL85OoM_460sv.mp4 This is AWESOME!

You're much braver than I am. I don't think I could even do candling if one of mine goes broody. I'd just sit and wait for some chicks to crawl out from under her. I def wouldn't let my kid touch the eggs though. The big one was tossing around a bottle of candy and ended up smashing an egg w/ it. SMH How are the most recent babies doing in the garage?

That is awesome Smurvs. It makes me want to incubate!!! For the record, my grip has gotten so weak, I would drop one too.

I am guessing beef liver is not as good as chicken livers, I am scared to try.

You know what bothers me and grosses me out? Is to see packages of chicken feet in the grocery store.

Same! When I see them or rabbit I redirect the children.

I asked for a gun but no-one seems to believe it's for home protection.

I believe you. It's dangerous living alone. I live in a basement apt and it was years living here before I'd leave the windows open at night & I do not live in a bad area. I don't have a gun, but I really don't feel like I need one & I don't think I'd feel safer having one in the house.

I just candled my eggs for the first time. You can see the results in the hatching thread. I didn't have time (or help) to take pictures though.

I agree I think the black one to the bottom left of the bottom picture is a boy.

I caught a ferocious beast on the trail cam last night.

Sunday I found a dead mole near the coop and what appeared to be a dog/ coyote print in the mud. I don't know how long it was there and unfortunately the cam wasn't pointing towards that area. Plus if it had been there that night it must have gotten frost or something on the lens cover b/c later that morning when it took my pic as I was coming up to the coop it was hazy. The camera did go off in the middle of the night the night before, but I couldn't see anything in the photos, so I'm guessing it was another bunny.

Looks like a cat.

That one is a bunny. (Ignore the temp, it's WAYYYY off.)

Here's the print I found. In my unskilled opinion it looks fairly recent. 3" pull tie for scale. Any reason it wouldn't have eaten the mole?

It's not as late as i thought it was so i called Patty and Selma's mom and informed her where her daughters were lol! She's not upset, just glad her girls are ok and pretty jazzed that she can probably hatch some eggs now thanks to my mimbo.
