~*Third Annual Cinco de Mayo Turkey Hatch-Athon*~ all poultry welcome!

[K Epp]

Okay I have her loaded down. Wish me luck I think the weather is affecting my hatches. It was near 80 all weekend and tomorrow night it supposed to be 27*. 19 Silkie, 12 EE, 8 d'Uccle, 4 D'anver & 2 Polish. So 45 chickens. The goose is still cooking 6 duck and 6 turkey. Something happened to two of the turkey eggs. I pulled them out. One was smashed all over the other.

gone on BYC for 3 days and I have 43 forums to catch up on....

JOY.

candled marshie Saturday. all 3 eggs are going strong. a check up candle I scheduled for tomorrow, day 7. so far everything is running smoothly....I just have to get those wasps I discovered in the coop OUT.

im planning on blocking off the coop this weekend to allow marshie her own run area. im sure she wont like it, but too bad. its for her and the chick's safety.
