I'm up to 5 chicks now. Kind of a goofy time of year to hatch, but I didn't really think mama was all that serious about sitting. We'll see if I end up needing to hang a heat lamp outside, or if she'll keep them warm enough.

2016 I had a hen hatch around Thanksgiving. They did fine.

Just the 5 thus far. I'm not optimistic about the remaining 2 eggs, but they were set over a couple of days. These could be the last two.

I have chicks hatching in about 5 days. A 7 month old White Rock that laid 18 eggs in the woods without my permission. She’s down to 8 eggs though because I had to compromise with her. She could have chicks in the Fall, but not 18 of ‘em!

Looking for opinions/guidance: What’s the best time to process extra roosters? I mean how old/developed should they be? TIA!
