If you start a thread link it here and take lots of photos! Everyone LOVES photos right?

Okay I started a thread... granted I'm on Day 3 but hopefully I did a good job of "catching up".

Yes very true. We all get anxious at 21 days though!!

Oh yes we do Im anxious now and only on day 8! I think Im going to do another bath after this one. Depends on how much room I have for new chicks. Right now I have an order of 5 dozen hatching eggs though so I'm collecting for them at the moment.

Wow nice. I cannot have roe's so I will be selling all the extras. I only want about 10-14 hens total so I will only be keeping 1-2 girls from each breed and selling these rest boys or girls!

I think we are going to sell locally possibly ship eventually but I have room for 18 to 24. 24 is absolute max and I don't think I'm gonna go that far until we expand our coop. We are Donna they to keep one of the roos assuming our other one will accept it. Other than that all roos are going to be sold or re-homed to another backyarder.

Are you talking to me? I am Ariel and I am not quite sure your question, I sure hope they are fertile I bought them and had them shipped to me, hahah.

I have not updated because hatch did not go well. On Tues I had only 3 hatch, 2 F2 OE and 1 Barnevelder. Only 8 had made it to lockdown. So that is why I never updated it was sad experience.
