Last picture of my chicken I took. My broody hen and my finger. LOL! The new part of chicken house with make shift broody boxes to make her feel at home.

Here's the outside. Needs steps/porch, roof, trim, paint, laying boxes, pulley to open pop door. etc. Old section will get paint and new trim as well.

Awesome!! Great looking chicken house

Thanks! I'm excited about getting it finished. My husband dreamt it up.

Not chickens but my broody turkey hens.

They are setting on 20 eggs between them.

Nice!

Numbers 4 and 5

Awwww

I don't understand why, but two eggs that were zipping yesterday evening died during the night. The power remained on all night, the temp and RH were correct when I walked in. They were just stillborn. Also one of the chicks that had already hatched had died in the night. I took the four "early risers" over to their brooder in case there was some problem there. This afternoon I have two more eggs that have pipped and are in the process of zipping, but they were zipping from "underneath." I turned them upward, but that's all the help I gave then put the incubator lid back on immediately. I have plenty of RH, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here.

Zips shouldn't take more than 90 minutes. I'm not certain what could be wrong though. Sorry for the loses.

[BantyChooks]

Yes, i did, pretty sure i confused myself along the way when you and @BantyChooks
 were arguing (a lot) about eating them lol
Speaking of Banti, anyone hear from her recently??
 i want anconas

Sorry for the loss!! I am praying my little bantams hatch well




Go Chickies, Go!!!

Earl-y was 3 days early, i work 830-630 tues-saturday and most nights have to pick up my wee one from somewhere before going home. I want her to be able to see some hatch, and i also have a ridiculous thought of trying to mark them to keep breeds separated, because i will have no idea who is who later on
That's a lot of hay! Procrastination.....
Luckily i go through only a bale every other day



Welcome!! These threads and people are so helpful and nice!! Good Luck with your hatch!!!

I LOVE feathered Feet!
