i have 2 Biological incubator running now. One batch due to hatch somewhere between 24-27 Aug and the second lot due somewhere between 7-14 Sept.
The other Pullet that was laying spend about 6 hours in one or the other nest every 2 days - but is not laying, nor brooding properly. not sure whats she doing.



I also finished my coop extension.
The 15 3 week olds are now living outside.

like it the plastic reminds me of me . I have a friend who owns a lumber company . I go there a get shipping wrap . makes great covers in the winter . its also free.

I will candle the other two later today to check for any activity. No external pip as of yet- on day 21.

Ruby - Yes my Malposition died in the shell yesterday evening. I know for next time I wont be as hesiatnt to assist - I put that one on me.

Ross - Im using a Janoel 24. I started with 24 eggs and only 14 made it to lockdown. Overall a useful incubator and satisfied with the results.

were they shipped eggs can't remember?

I'm exhausted. So not used to 4:30 am feedings, potty training an active kid, bottles, laundry, etc!

There's a reason why you have kids while you are still young.

Really glad their parents are coming home today!

Yes the Hmong chick is not a Serama. And the little black chick is an Ogye. I googled it and it looks identical

Sorry I missed GNO. I was at my in laws house until 10....then came home. Put the girls to bed, then myself. Long fun evening.

I can't wait to see how your chicks feather out. They are so cute.

I missed GNO too, between baths and bottles and changing, I really needed a drink! LOL, it's been a long time since I had little kids.

GNO was a no show lol

I have a report. My girls must be very happy with their new accommodations. I have had 8 eggs from the 8 girls almost every day since the move. The 2 soft ones on the second day, and I think one other day, I only had 7, so I'm very proud of them! They look happy and healthy.
As far as the boys, Big Guy has taken lead and I have seen him run after Punkin several times when Punkin tries to mate one of the girls. Big Guy finds food for them, guards them while they eat, and he escorted them to the coop last night, it was so cute. Punkin still runs around like a horny teenager. But otherwise, they seem to get along all fine.

I was there so it wasn't a total bust. spent most of yesterday resealing control valves and one cylinder on a backhoe attachment . didn't get much done to my coops though . went to lowes last weekend and picked up two 10x10 dog kennels . should have went to TSC theirs are better quality made by the same company with more pipe support and $20 cheaper . they make great quick pens . I wore them out at lowes got them to price math and give another 10% off to buy from them . then get home and find a coupon from TSC for 10% off total purchase good through the 23th. wasn't to happy . might go to TSC and get one more can link them together an have a 10x40 foot run with one more. total cost would be $800 though. this money pit gets deeper and deeper . What kind of rooster is Big Guy?
