I set 30 eggs last night around 10; not the best idea since I could hardly sleep last night. I stayed up 'til 3 checking to make sure the temp stabilized. There are 12 French Black Copper Marans, 6 assorted silkies, 6 assorted Orpingtons, all picked up locally yesterday. The other six are from my flock: 2 Polish, 3 Cochin and one Ameraucana crossed with a Salmon Faverolles roo. The Maran eggs came from a really nice person who first told me they had lots of orders for eggs and young chickens who were not laying well yet. I told them about this Hatch-A-Long I wanted to participate in and that I really wanted to include a few dark brown eggs. I offered to pay more than their very reasonable price, and they agreed. When I picked them up they just gave me a dozen eggs! All they asked was that I let them know how well they hatch and if I have too many, they would gladly take them back! Feeling very blessed!

My brother was wondering why he chickens were all inside. So he went out, I assumed only to smoke, but caight him watching the chickens and taking pictures. The girls were VERY interested in him

The going inside was a new development as was bonding with Diva. The second picture was right after he was trying to get a picture of her and had a huge smile. Now of course it was probably just cause he thought it was hilarious and wanted to share with friends but you can't deny there was SOME happiness. Too cute.

"Those birds are goofy looking. They're like little dinosaurs"

Also my dad asked if I checked the nest boxes and my brother interrupted with "I just did!"

Then said

"Those chickens are pretty vile creatures though, walking around in their own ****, poo on their feet"

Now theyre also debating whether they would survive on their own lol

Dont like em my ***.

Also if theyre dirty guess i better clean the pen.

But if theyre sooo vile why are you in the pen with them??
