So,Mutch going on. I have the chicken eggs in the bator,my muscovy hen setting on her eggs.the bantam that just hatched chicks a week ago.and now my new muscovy hen started laying,and she had two eggs and I had a bantam decide she wanted to set on them.so I had to take her and put her in a cage by herself and put a nest with four eggs from my pair of black Silkies.

Good evening, everyone!

Been a busy day, and practically non-stop. Didn't get as far along on the new coop as I'd like, but made progress just the same. I still have a month before it becomes needed, but I still have a long way to go, so the sooner I finish it, the better. Having a good helper would definitely speed things up, but I know things will be done to my specifications if I'm doing the work myself... lol!

Got the rafters built and installed. Was hoping to get the metal roofing on today, but when I discovered how bad the 2x4's I'd planned to use for purlins were, I decided I need some better boards. That'll have to wait until another day. This is it so far...



I decided to get a sneak peak at my eggs to see how the air cells were progressing, and realized there's been little change since day 14 and 16 candlings. I have to run the bator dry tonight... tomorrow is LOCKDOWN! While I was randomly checking air cells (about half the eggs), I was happy to see movement in each one! Tuesday and/or Wednesday should be hatch day....

awesome Joey!!! glad your candle went well!

My son text me before going to bed and told me that we have a second pip! He said that out of the 5 eggs we have two peepers peeping away! Hope they encourage the rest.
