This is Louisiana Weather for You!

Listen to this! About 3 days ago one of my yard hens hatched a clutch of eggs. Well, except for one. I noticed it when she left the nest 2 days ago but I just left it because she was setting in the middle of a big patch of spiney, cactus like plants and I wasn't that worried about it.
Well, just now I was walking in my back yard and heard a chirping separate from the mom and her biddies. When I went to see what may be wrong I found a wet biddie sitting in the nest.

I can't believe the biddie still hatched after being left uncovered all during the day for it's last two days!


So all in all, I ended up getting a perfect 10/10 hatch rate! without even trying! And to think people with incubators only dream of that kind of success rate

I guess it just proves that mother nature knows best.

Haha, that is great. One lucky chick! It would have just got cold and died here. Hasn't hit incubation temp here once this year. Well, maybe inside of a car left in the sun...

Welcome to BYC. It sounds like the kind of weather we are having in NC, HOT and HUMID
