I'm sitting here watching a movie on and off. Nothing like free internet movies on the laptop so I can pause it to run back up stairs talk to the babies and see them move a little here and there. Then unpause the movie and watch for another 5 mins. Rinse repeat.

I go into lockdown tomorrow night, too!!

I just candled yesterday, and 5 of my 7 eggs were clear.

So now all of my hope and prayers are focused on the two remaining eggs.

I am a basket case.

Oh, no! Wouldn't work for me! I've got eggs in the incubator, chicks in the brooder, and hatching eggs under my broody. I go back and forth between the three all day long. I'm a busy hatching, brooding mama all day long!

Fortunately, they are my own. I think my poor roo is overworked -- he has 21 girls. But my last hatch a month ago only had 1 clear. I'm guessing either he's not spending much time with the BCM hen and too much with the others, or could he be spread so thin that his sperm count is low? I'm at a loss...

Time to give him a few hens in their own pen. Get that fertility right back up there
