Is that the chicken you’re worried about being cold?

No, this dude has been outside for almost a month. My pullets I threw out last jight still have fluff heads though and hadn't been outside before then. They all seemed fine though, if slightly traumatized at the lack of a heat lamp overnight

Roan pheonix had 3 hatched and 1 pipped last night. Hoping for more. Glad I didn't toss eggs because when I candled with my phone the day before (this new light freaking sucks), I only saw 1 viable egg. Obviously I wasn't seeing the whole picture with my phone light.

Another pheonix is at about 2 weeks, maybe a bit less. She also has 3 quail under her, but km not too hopeful for that.

I have a 3rd pheonix (the remaining Italian sister) on a ton of eggs in my cochin group, so they'll all be cochins and cochin crosses

Silkies are on about 10 eggs
4 or 5 looked like they were right about to hatch, the rest are a few days behind.

Cochin mama is nesting again I believe.

Spitzhauben 1 (I think it's Effie, but more likely Trinket) is on a few. Don't have high hopes for her though.

SpitzMix Jezebel is also setting next to her. Also don't have high hopes for her.

Walnut, my Pheonix mix might be setting. I'll know tonight if shes in the same spot as last night

Also might have a Cornish starting a new nest. I added eggs I could tell weren't theirs so I knew their eggs would be safe to eat. That's what that pen has come to

One of these things is not like the others
