The Moonshiner's Leghorns

Got the humidity down and candled the eggs—every one is developing! So my roosters are fertile. The game hen/Leghorn egg looks like it has some micro fractures in it which is baffling since she laid it behind a tool box on an old pair of overalls 🤦‍♀️ Not sure how that will effect the hatching process but so far so good.

:wee
How many eggs incubating?
 
My silver Leghorns are growing up. They stopped hiding out in the barn and are out with everyone else now.

Ok I am slowly adjusting it down. Do you think 45% is good?
That is too high for me. I have chicks to drown after pipping at 45% humidity. I most definitely would not go any higher than that. And keep those vents open. I promise you, you will have more problems with humidity too high than too low. As long as you don’t to lower than 25% the first 18 days, then lockdown as normal (65-70% the last 3 days) they will do just fine.
 
Penned my two BC1 Crele project pullets by themselves today to allow them to grow out and mature. Hopefully by June I will be getting eggs from these 2 ladies. 🥰

I may have jumped the gun, but we butchered their sire, the F1 Crele (Legbar/Leghorn) rooster today. Gotta trim the feed bill so all these extra roosters have gotta go. My son got braces today and my husband has had the flu so I made homemade chicken noodle soup on 3 roosters today.
