Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

Well W4W it sounds like you're doing everything right! Here's prayers and good thoughts on your flock not catching anything!

Thanks Clindz.

Just wish I had thought to get them off the property the first day.

Brain is working at half speed lately. We have a human virus in the house, too! Hubby is down with it, two days out of work. Younger son missed school today, and I am desperately refusing to succumb, but beginning to feel like I am losing the fight. Older son is fine. He's always fine, except for maybe once every 5 years or so.

The coops and runs are closed to all except me, wearing my special disinfected boots and clean clothes. One boy is sad because he can't get "chicken therapy" after school. One boy is happy because he gets out of chores. Maybe a dose of toilet cleaning will cure him!

W4W.... ditto on the prayers for your flock.
Lindz.... way too cute chickie babies.

THREE!!!! Nugget, Smoke and Jemma!! Jemma laid an odd shaped egg, but a keeper!

Jemmas egg is the cream colored one.

My breakfast. Both eggs were laid yesterday. The large one is from Penny and the little one is Nugget. Yummers...

5 eggs, because 6 is too much to ask. Shadow definitely laid, I saw her in the nest box and then later found the evidence in the form of a pretty blue egg. I''m guessing this is her 4th or so egg. So 6 layers.....5 eggs. Perfect day has to come sometime.

12 babies in the brooder!!! One egg left but no pips yet. I had a wonky looking egg in that bator so I'd actually be more surprised if it did hatch. But leaving it in there to see if anything happens as they weren't scheduled to hatch til tomorrow anyway.

Yay on the new babies! So you almost had a 100% hatch? I hope I get at least half. Ugh day 4.....
