Thistlewick Smallholding - Chickens & Sheep (for now)

[Shadrach]

Do you still have your Black Coppers? Would love to see a recent pic if you do and care to share?

Unfortunately not. I left them behind when I had to move back to the UK from Catalonia.

You just know this morning I am vigilant as all heck on my cameras to catch anything lol eggs should hatch tomorrow -- even possibly tonight.


I haven't candled - there are six left. I scoured the bedding yesterday through the entire hen house and couldn't find that other egg.

Well looks like today was hatch Day

Supposed to be Lavender and Chocolate Ameraucana

Third chick hatched looks Blue not lavender.

So

Yet again I got mystery eggs.

3 more eggs, but none of them pipped. Technically tomorrow was hatch Day. So we will see what happens this afternoon and overnight.


Also missing one Dorking. No sign of her. Will see if she comes back to roost but it's more likely she got eaten/taken bc that batch is 7 weeks old and they stay near the hen house.

Will take a headcount tonight.
