I read waaaaaaay too much on the subject when I was hatching my girls. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much

Agreed!

Keep hatching simple and fun, as well as addicting.....

I got brinsea incubators and then got extra thermometers to calibrate and then tried to figure out how to measure humidity and then said screw it and went w the thermometers that came w incubators, filled up one well according to directions and hatched all 11 that were in it! Couldn't have been simpler once I stopped obsessing!

FOUR!!!! All of the layers laid an egg, but Jemma laid a rubber egg and it was broken on the coop floor. Nugget has still not taken a day off. I am worried that her life will be a short one.

Her egg today was 61 grams. She passed Smoke's egg weight and is closing in on Penny.

I agree with scrambles guesses except maybe the first one...need to know the age of the bird and what kind it is to make a good guess on that one.

Looks like today will be a 4 egg day. Maybe tomorrow we will get our first perfect day??

Lol Scrambles. I can tell each one apart. I probably should put leg bands on them in case someone else needs to take care of them.

The first and third ones are the same bird. It is an Amer. Mix and roughly 2 months old.

I put my money on cockerel for him. For a 2 month old Ameraucana mix it is quite pink in the face and comb. Nice color.

Its time to watch the chickens grow. Better than a glass of wine.
