Have a hen sitting on 24 eggs that should be hatching within next week, we aren't sure when she finally started to sit on them
putting 47 in the incubator this afternoon

What kind are going in the bator?

Hi
The one with curled toes had one shoe come off this morning. The toes look good but she still seems weak in the legs and walking area. Her toe nails keep getting caught in the shelf liner. Should I cut them? Probably putting shaving down today. Today is day 2 should I put new shows on her if she is walking on the bottom of her feet now?

Sounds like it'll be a fun guessing game.

I Finally got an incubator after I had received numerous calls for chicks. So I set up my first hatch. 25 EE's, 4 silkies, 2 ducks and 2 geece eggs one of which is a double yolker. On Day 4 of candling i saw a blood ring on one of the duck eggs so lost that one...the rest are veining up nicely with a couple of ??'s. chickens are due 4/21 and waterfowl on 4/28.

Anna...just starting my hatching addiction

My polish eggs are fertile!

Poor tiny thing is bred by either EE or HRIR.

he he..how fun..are you going to hatch any? I had a white silkie, that was bred by my big HRIR...I had one egg hatch and she was red with a cute little top, and feathered legs and feet.
