Test hatch was basically a success. Running a little slow but no worries. I am sure you guys will want to see baby pictures!

And finally the little one that I thought wasn't going to make it!

Okay, I think I'm in for my very first hatch a long!

I was planning on setting some on April 1st, what's a couple weeks early? DH said he would move his truck back outside by the time I need to set up the brooder in the garage.

Quick question, I started collecting eggs yesterday, the coop temp was probably about 45 degrees so the eggs were cold. Will they be okay? They're in the house now, and I'll be sure to collect them before any chance of freezing.

Oh and unless I can get some hatching eggs from some where else, the daddy will be my dark cornish too (sure hope he isn't shooting blanks), and the moms will be dark cornish, a couple golden comets (Isa Brown strain) and my little Dominiques.

This should be fun!

Good Morning!

So excited up here in Michigan for this week of warmer weather after all those freezing NEGATIVE temperatures!!!

We are tapping more Maple trees today for sap to make Maple Syrup, and I am starting my "Egg Watch" to collect eggs from our flocks of Buff Orpington, French Copper Marans, and Barred Plymouth Rocks for the Hatch-Along!!!

The war against SNOW has begun - Every new patch of bare ground is a Victory IMO!!!

Spring is just around the corner!!! Hurray!!!!

Maple syrup, yum!
