Set 86 Eggs Tonight *FORTY-FOUR Hatched--Hatch Over *

Cyn,
You should have a contest, like Mahonri does. How many chicks will Cyn hatch? Tie breaker is what will the first 3 breed of chicks be? Yeah, that would be fun, Cyn! Winner gets their choice of an excess rooster from the hatch!

Yep, I rechecked my lists and I removed six belonging to my own BBS Orp hen, Smoky, that were not fertile, so only removed four that were shipped. Shipped eggs are doing better than my dang Orps now! Whodathunkit?! I still have no idea how I got my original figure of 62, but it was way wrong.
 
I don't have a brooder large enough for all those for more than a week, but I do have an entire coop we're building right now that we plan to have ready to use as a grow out coop. The Belgian D'anvers in the bator will be living there so they'll just stay and the others will either be moved to another coop when they get older and the extras sold.
 
Hi, Stan, I would be happy to, but I don't ship birds, so you'd have to make a road trip.

I owe some extras to two friends, even before I know how many will hatch, but I'm sure there will be a few extras of both male and female if the ones that are viable go on to hatch. I need one great BR rooster and a handful of BR hens for the start of a greatly improved BR group.
