So the girls are still doing great! Both of them are laying every day still. They seem happy and content. I think they like the snow.
We decided to get 4 chicks from atwoods and give two back to the guy that let us borrow the encubator and then my friend is going to give me a dozen eggs (a different friend, she has pretty successful hatches, and fertility) and we will keep two hens from that and give the rest back to her.
I said I was not gonna do it again, but I did not realize the eggs were not fertile. Now I know how to candle, I won't be wasting my time. This will be the last try though.
I have hatch out tons of cockatiels egg, it is so fun seeing those new little ones and seeing what you get.
