Redinator's First Hatch-Along

[jxp]

Any of you ever have a day where a simple task, like cleaning up the brooding area, turns into a full blown 'empty the entire room and clean everything' kind of day?

I am tempted to nap on my freshly shampooed carpet, but it's still a bit damp, lol.

OMG, one of my pullets might be going broody

Do you think I can convince her all the eggs are hers?

I have a barred rock that gets such notions every now and again. The rest of the time she's a calm and loving chicken.

It's entirely possible she's just toying with my emotions, lol. She's only six months old so if goes full broody and hatches chicks I'll be dumbfounded.

If she quits halfway through the incubator should be cleared out by then and I can pop the eggs she's sitting on in the incubator.

If she hatches chicks, but isn't ready to mother them, I can put those chicks in with the ones from the incubator.

I'm good either way, but she is my favorite and the most people oriented of the flock so it would be great if she does hatch and raise them.

If she's fully committed I might pop a few of the eggs from the incubator under her so she doesn't have to sit as long to get chicks.

And if Black Sunday White hatches any eggs, they'll be named Jesus, Emanuel, Yashua, Miracle, Alpha, and Omega.... I live in the city.

How are the pre-borns this morning?

I’m so traumatized by my non stop crowing hormonal barred rock I about died seeing this I can hear it

No one rolled away or hatched yet.
