@AmyLynn2374 How is the eye? Hope your ok and it's not too bad

Hatch pretty much done

26/27 hatched, the last egg not showing any signs of action. Number 26 just out so once it's dry will move the last 4 into brooder with others and give the last egg a quick candle. Maybe it's just being a slow coach

Lots more colours this time and a couple I would really like to keep but will have to see, can I really add any more

Broody polish still sitting e

Thanks Amy, I love them too. You just can't beat brand new fuzzy butts. Glad to hear the eye is not too bad. I have a couple of chamois(Buff) that are little nippers when you put your hands down, they really do sneak up on the blind side. I k ow how they have marked my hands, the thought of it in an eye is cringe worthy. Your a tough cookie

I need a hatch like yours!!!! LoL!!!! I just candled some of mine and they are on day 4 just to see and I see a lot have veins!!

Hope you have a great hatch Lots of veins sounds fantastic for day 4

Thanks so much I'm well chuffed with them all

Yes it's her first time and mine too with a broody
I'm just trying to leave her be and do her thing. I've been leaving the food after she has been out flat so I know she is eating. But with the size of the poops she is doing I can certainly tell when she has been of the nest. My son as soon as he gets in from school always looks at the chickens before he comes in the house, he came runing in the other day saying I must go outside immediately as the poop was that big there must be something wrong with her!! He got it once I explained about broody hens. Top marks to him though for poop spotting!!

That's great about your son! I love to hear stories of our kids being involved and actually caring about these animals. I think it teaches such wonderful lessons and values to kids! Kudos!

SC, your boy looks to be a bit leaner than my boy. How old is he? Mine is about 15 months.

Well, I just found out some black faced hornets built a nest under the shed rafters. Trouble is I found out the hard way. Got stung several times in the face and eyelid, I have a history of allergic reactions to stings. Gonna lay low and ice it and hope that a trip to the hospital isn't necessary.

Awesome timing, with 25 people coming for dinner tomorrow. At least they are family. It's also my 29th anniversary, so no dinner out for at least a few days so I don't look like a horror movie character.
