Good luck with yours also.

And just like that I go out and feed and water and come back in to see 2 chicks.
Guess I better get the mudroom brooder ready for the last bunch and their brooder ready for the new ones.

That's what a hatch-a-holic's life looks like.

How many more of these will you get?

From this hatch? I purposely don't keep track of eggs now. I'd end up counting chickens before they hatch.
Guessing around 30 give or take.

You must have done a big hatch this time.

I've just been using my small to medium incubators and some aren't that great but this hatch was 3 of them and 3 pretty reliable ones so.... hoping

Did you set anymore of those Buff?

 

[The Moonshiner]

Ya but only one hen is now laying and it's every other day. Then with the them being clears issue I think only 3 made it to lockdown.
I've hatched enough that I should be in decent shape next spring.
Think since I have a lot of males I'll keep several. Set up trios and swap males around through the season. More diversity that way.
