I got the Faleemi Camera and I run it through Stream Labs to Youtube. I am very pleased but I need to order a second camera for the hatcher so I don't have to keep stealing the one out of the brooder lol.

I got my first 8 eggs of this year today. They’re very nice blue colored cream legbar eggs and I’m so excited about setting them tomorrow!

for now i’ve ordered araucana eggs for next week and olive eggers the week after that.

one problem, i’ve discovered I have rats in the coop so I ordered this very strong ultrasonic anti-rat device today, it should arrive tomorrow. I hope they will go away with this thing. I don’t want them eating my chicks!

Where'd you get those? They are gorgeous!

All 11 in the brooder doing well. The little ones are very brave for just hatched babies. They are following around the bigger birds and doing what they do. Definitely love these guys already going to be hard to only choose 4 girls and one boy.

Thanks, they’re from a local girl in my neighborhood who has a few cream legbars

They’re so cute. So, you always add the little ones to the older ones in the brooder? Does this always go right? I’m looking for how to manage the different ages with the staggered hatching.
