Well, I candled the girls' eggs. I couldn't see a dang thing lol. They're all green/blue eggs and they're full. I did a water test and 2 of the 3 eggs look like they were moving (one definitely) so I guess it'll just be a waiting game for a couple days to see what hatches. I will keep you updated :) Hope you have some new babies when you get home :)

I found a nest full of chicks this morning, Jo hatched all 6 by early morning, was set late Thursday evening 3 weeks ago, so she still takes after her mama (Gracie) on early hatching.
She has 2 Light Sussex, 3 silkie and one 3/4 silkie mix.
Jo and chicks have all been moved into a secure area for a couple of days, I forgot just how tiny the silkie chicks are!
They are spending most of their time under mama, but did get a few pics.

Congratulations on the great hatch! I checked my girls'eggs this morning. Still nothing going on. Ana is still doing a wonderful job with her babies :)

Finally have some silkied Ameraucana eggs that are candling as live chicks! They were one of my "guilty pleasure" purchases last year and many things, especially fertility, has been disappointing, but it's amazing what finally getting fertile eggs will do for my excitement.

Here is the breeder roo. I'm naming him Nicholas because his beard is white and fluffy, like a certain saint . . .

3 different people have contacted me in the last week or so because predators wiped out their entire flock (or all but 1). Just a reminder that it's not a safe world for our birds and they depend on us to think about all the dangers they face, including making the coop as predator-proof as we possibly can. It costs money to "overbuild" and make things secure, but the distress I feel over a predator loss makes it well worth it to me.
