Well we don't need you killing yourself, then everyone at chicken would miss seeing you at your house, you now they would still have it there even if you couldn't make it!

Well I'll be there, hoping to bring a bunch of sale birds, I'm running out of room, hubby is like YOU CAN"T KEEP THEM ALL! I finally have him convince that you do need to grow them out before selling. His version of growing them out is, the egg has just fallen off, THERE OUT! Sell them now!

Well...... I candled the eggs under my broody. 5/11 are fertile. Ill have to work on that, any suggestions? I think a lot of the problem was lay rate vs the time it took one of my girls to go broody. Some of the eggs probably weren't viable anymore due to the end of summer heat here in KY. I'm thinking about getting some plastic or wood eggs so i can collect the fertile ones and keep them in a cooler environment. I have thought about using fake eggs to at least have a trigger for someone to brood.
Until I can splurge on a nice incubator I'm solely depending on my broodys. I failed miserably with the little giant, LOL!
