Yaaay!

As a side benefit, you may also find your fertilization rate goes up

So glad they will be safe tonight

I hope it does! They're in with a nice IBBS.

Just went to check on them and everyone is tucked in comfortably. Hopefully have another egg picture to post soon!

If you look at the quarantine in the US when importing birds from other countries it's a 30 day wait. That way they can do different tests to test for diseases and if they do have diseases usually they show symptoms within 30 days. I personally do 20 days. The reason for 20 days is because that's how long it take to go through an entire worming cycle to kill all worms. 5 days, skip 10, worm again for 5 days.

The little purple pied hen must have started laying... Look @Blue Creek ! I found two more eggs this morning, both perfect. They are barely different in color and texture, and were laid in two different places. I kinda think the one on the right is from the purple hen, just because the one on the left looks a bit more like the ones the little SP hen has been laying. The purple hen has been running really fast, so hers may not be fertile She is NOT happy about this whole egg fertilizing process...

My hen has started to lay eggs but the male is two, is there a possibility of them being fertile?
