The only time I checked is when they got off the nest. That was once a day. I didn't want to get bit. I know there were 4 eggs under SS#2 the last time I checked. There could be more. when she got off the nest another chicken would sit it the nest.

The one that hatched chicks had 12 eggs under her. 3 that I know of hatched, the rest of the eggs still had chicks in,they were all dead.she was always sitting when I check her. There were 2 dead in the nest this morning. She was out of the nest last night. 1 chick was with her. The other 2 didn't figure out how to get out and got too cold. Then nest box was probably to high. After SS2 hatches hers, I'll move them down.

Gavin asked I post this pic of our 2 Wheatens, Angel and Duncan.



These two and our OEGB are the only (possible) show birds, for now. Once we cull the extra roosters and the cornish Xs we should have enough room for some more....who am I kidding I'm already looking into other breeds and making a list of ones I want, I mean "ones Gavin needs for showing."

I think first we'll look for some more bantams for our OEGB roo.

Ugh, don't have time to read through the 183 last posts haha! But need to vent.
My own stupidity and impatience cost me 6 of my 8 week old babies. Ma wanted the basement cleaned and chicks out, we put in large dog crate in shed since building coop is taking forever

Loverman decided to put them in the larger but much less secure clucker-trucker during the day. Speed up to night time - too much hassle to move 13 sleepy and grumpy babies into new cage inside shed right? We've shot and killed 4 raccoons and 3 opossums over the past few months, surely we have no more major pest problems; just for one night right?!
WRONG. 2 australorps, 1 bo, 1 br, 1 speckled sussex, 1 spangled hamburg. All nothing but feathers and guts now.
AUGH!

Soooo, as therapy I put 42 eggs in the new incubator. (3 doz are for other people; only 6 are for me lol) That's not unhealthy in an emotional way right?!
*sighs* Thanks for listening ya'll.
