The 6th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[Tuhmu]

I have a dilemma......I have both incubators full, can probably move everything I have into my Coolerbator for lockdown freeing up my brinsea but I also have around 30ish eggs coming in the mail next week....going to be hard to squeeze them into the brinsea AND I found this: !!!!

My two call ducks' stash! Neither apparently seem interested in actually sitting on them...so I was going to stuff them into the bator but then I remembered I have all these other eggs coming! What a tragedy! I can't just let them go to waste! What to do what to do.....

All you can do is get another bator. This is an emergency. Anyone would understand in this situation.

So, I have an update on my possibly fried eggs. I tossed a quitter last night. Veins were completely gone and it was an EE. I checked for veins in the rest of them and all seems well.

Candled tonight and I'm down to 14. 9 out of 12 from our local school and 5 out of 10 on my mix of Marans. Really hoping they all hatch, but we will see!

Yeah. I'm thinking something else killed the hen. Was your dog very aggressive toward the hen?

I don't know what makes you think that, but I assure you that it was the dog. He's done it before.
Levi (the dog) has been with us for *11 years.* We've only had chickens for 2 years. Before we moved to the country, he happily hunted groundhog, possum, and birds in our tiny city yard. I'm not going to put him down or get rid of him for not understanding that he can't eat chickens. He's old, he has a heart condition, and he was with us first. My dog is a pet. My chickens are not. There is no decision.

Oh, so he is aggressive towards the chickens. Lucky for him that you love him so much and that he is your pet. I'm sorry for the loss of your chickens.
