Lockdown is day after tomorrow for the Silkies and Popcorn is two days after that.

I've just quickly candled again
All Silkies doing well even #3 Annie Yolkley, who I was a little worried about is moving around

Popcorn also still moving a lot
Although I'm a little worried about his air cell...photo below.
Is it all right like this ?
It starts at the top, where it should..but drops down on the side...

I've also set up the second incubator. Just to see that it's running all right.

The brooder is also nearly ready. (The biggest clear plastic box I could get my hands on

I've drilled holes in the side for air flow, but might add some more...I won't need the lid anyway until Popcorn starts flapping about

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

The saddle air cells happen with shipped eggs. I had some, but can't say if they're the ones that quit towards the end.

Popcorn still makes it.

Yeah ok...will have to see what happens.
I had originally wanted to set them, so that they hatch on a weekend...but due to the Serama eggs coming so late that didn't work.

I hope Popcorn doesn't have too many difficulties while I'm at work

I'm struggling to set up the Blink 4 camera...not properly connecting to the app etc. :idunno
