I've been thinking about this. As I understand it, Kathy wants to grow out the chicks she has without adding more chicks to feed. So, in my mind, hatching for someone else shouldn't count...

But, letting a broody hatch some eggs should count, unless those day olds go to someone right away.

I'm just trying to fill up my coop...even though it isn't finished, yet. I think it ought to be done before 21 days are up...

Come onnnnnnn, Dale Ann! I can't help it if they go broody, now can I? It is just a normal thing for them to do. I have no control over it, and should not be penalized, right?

If the day olds come to my house, it won't count...

Results of the last hatch of the ...... of the ...... well, for awhile anyway!

4 Icelandics (#5 pipped and died without zipping; #6 earlier quitter)
1 Jersey Giant
10 Barred Rocks (#11 pipped and died) * Note here .... I hatched a, "Sport," from the BRs. Yes, I got a yellow chick! I have been told that this happens less than 3% of the time, and this is a White Rock, and this is how White Rocks were created!

Now, this is pretty darn close to a 100% hatch .... I am very happy with it!

Icelandics:
#1

#2

#3 and #4

The Jersey Giant:

I'm fairly certain you have to collect them for a few days, wrap them and put them in a box and send them to someone who needs them. I can pm you my address.
