September Hatch-a-long!

May I ask why? Is it personality reasons? I had very high hopes as so many people rave about their Australorps but I just can't seem to feel the love (yet?)

No, she's a good bird, and the Splash is the rare color of this breed. I was working with the B/B/S Australorps but this is the desert and I wanted to work with the Naked Necks, and some of those White Breese instead. I guess I can just breed her to the Naked Neck roo for now. I also have 2 of the Blue Australorp roo's, but I don't want to do the Australorps anymore, so will most likely be butchering them soon. I tried to give them away for free here in the free re-homing section, but no no takers. They are good boy's, and it's too bad that they will end up in the soup pot.

Hello all I actually hopped on here to reassess my chicken math, get some coop ideas, cuz I have eggs in 2 bators that are due to hatch around Aug 26th I've been just dying to hatch Serama eggs since I read about them a few months ago, and I tried shipping some from too far away, none of them made it through the post Luckily I took lots of pics and the post refunded all my money. While I waited, I thought I would try an experiment... I have a tiny bantam old english game roo (Lil Britches), four fluffy gold orpington ladies, and two rir girls. I put 6 orpington eggs in my Mini Brinsea about 10 days ago, I'll be checking tonight to see if Mr. Britches was successful Then I bought 12 serama eggs from a different breeder, closer location, and they turned up absolutely beautiful. Only one with a saddle, and she sent me 3 extra, so possibly fourteen good eggs Tonight will be day 3 in the incubator... I'm waiting to candle these babies till day 10, I can't wait !! Good luck to everyone else's hatches

I have some French Blue Copper Marans, some (more ) Ameraucanas, and some Olive Egger hatching eggs coming at the end of August. (Un)Fortunately? I have time and incubator space to find a few more eggs while I wait....

We have a Broody Cochin hen. Our roo is just getting going, so I only put 5 eggs under her. She is due September 2nd. Our first time! We have a friend who hatched some in a incubator from our last roo. He doesn’t know it yet but he will be helping! Hopefully they are all good at 10 days! I’ll find out this weekend!

Ok, I'm definitely in on this. I just now set 10 of my NN eggs in my incubator, and I will add what's laid tomorrow in there with them.

I'm joining too! I'm supposed to get my eggs in the mail today. So fingers crossed they survived the trip.
