Ha! Caught up with you!
9 in the brooder
3 hatched in the incubator: going to leave them in for quite a while....they seem to get the others going. Can only see five that do not have pips! Only one blue egg did not have a pip a while ago....my DGD's eggs.
Wishing my big meal would cook itself.....have to get started chopping and getting things ready! Get my laundry put up as my daughter will want to do her laundry while she is here! W&D have been getting a workout lately as I am doing my MIL's laundry also twice a week!
I just want to sit with the incubator. You know all along I have been able to see movement in all the eggs. The $10 candler was worth it that I bought from incubator warehouse. I could candle the eggs sitting in the turner!
I know you are excited Delmar about your hatch this time! And Mrs. Delmar is probably worn out from taking pictures! Will post mine later today when everyones has their new 'dos' on!

I was wondering how long eggs would continue to be fertile. I rehome my BR roo because he was meaner than all get out and I started marking the BR eggs so I would know when he left.
I have heard that chickens can lay fertile eggs as much as 3 weeks after the roo is gone. I had 4 Barred Rock eggs in this hatch. One of them came out as a black sex link so I know his daddy is the RIR. The other three came out yellow two with black spots the other without spots. Their daddy had to be Col. Sanders, my EE roo.
