Redinator's First Hatch-Along w Bonus Broody: And Everything Thereafter

[redinator]

I bet! You have way more than I do, and having my 8 outside and 7 inside was enough before they integrated. Now I've got 15 outside and 5 inside. So I'm still kind of doing it, lol.

All the while planning to get an incubator and hatch eggs, so why am I babbling?

Right! As soon as I cross one hurdle I immediately decide to make things difficult again, lol.

It's like I'm trying to learn everything at warp speed.

*Ok, I hatched chicks, raised them, that was fun. Let's do it again with 4x's the chicks. Integrate chicks to chicks, that wasn't so hard. Let's double down and integrate hatched chicks and have a broody and some store bought chicks. Then toss in some nearly grown chickens and see what happens*

That is the short version of the last 8 months, lol.

Lol yep. Sounds about right!

After this hatch I will put away the incubators until spring.

That's like February here, right? I can make it that long without hatching . . . right?

Don't ask me, I said I was done buying babies for the year. I'll be hard-pressed (i.e. I won't make) that goal.

I'll believe it when I see it.

On that note, I did not say I wouldn't purchase chicks before then, lol. I'll probably treat myself to some christmas chicks, lol.

Oh Christmas chicks, yay! Jingle, Sparkle, Rudolph... The name possibilities are endless!

I would name them after Santa's reindeer, but I think Vixen was the only female in that group, lol

Lol I think so too.

A number of years ago my Hybrid had her cubs in mid-December. We named them Dasher, Dancer, etc. Three hours after Blitzen, Rudolph completed the pack. As things turned out, Vixen was the only little boy in the litter.
