Story of our raising and hatching own to process of mixed flock

[PrettyBirdRocky]

First one! Was still in bed, trying to sleep in, a checked my Govee--humidity spike.

Three more externals that i can see. And the green egg is starting on its zip

I had hoped to put paper towel down but ran out then forgot. Seem on on the slots for now.
