day 10 and I candled again-had to or something was going to blow! I pulled 8 totally clear ones and left the 3-4 clear FBCM's just in case:-( still parying Im making a mistake on 1 of those...all the others are still growing and I will not candle until lockdown now-8 more days..Man this hatch seems like its taking forever...

On a good note I sold 8 of my 19 chicks I hatched out 2 weeks ago and :-( at the same time...sad to see my babies go but the guy is such a chicken guy-a preppy chicken guy though-spoils them like they are children-they are even going to have a place in his house...LOL..love customers like that...I think the people down the road are in for some too...SO my first tester hatch may be gone already The DD gets to keep "pokey" the last chick born late a tiny split lav silkie-so cute but firey!!!

Hoping you get something from your FBCM's! They are so hard to see through I bet.

It's good you could sell the chicks! You get the fun of hatching and some extra money, too!

funny thing is that there is never a penny that is extra-all $ I get from selling eggs goes right back to the birds-their food and heating bill which is 150$ a month-Soo if I could make 200$ a month in Winter-just off their eggs and such they cover their expenses-this month I -for the first time-made that much to cover them and DH couldnt be prouder of me...So he has not said a word about me planning another batch of eggs for bating

Those are Black Copper Marans, Blue Rocks, and some fertile eggs from the local co-op. Most of them in there are BCM's right now.
