Tis Time for a March 2020 Hatch-a-long!

I candled a few eggs yesterday(D5) and found one that had a very dark spider veins is this normal with olive eggs

Yes, you can usually start to see what looks like a spider in early development.

Hatch is done for now 11 healthy chicks out of 14 eggs. Cute and very nice looking chicks.

Do I need Silkied Cochins? They aren't crossed with Silkies, they're actual cochins without the barring gene...I'm thinking of maybe getting these eggs for the Easter hatch-a-long.

Are you checking to see how many enablers are here at the moment?

I'm going to hatch Cochin jersey giant crosses.. I'll call them Cochin Giants when people ask what is out in the yard

I'm already arranging to get them in a couple weeks, lol! I lost the auction for the Polish eggs so naturally I started looking for another "solution" to fill my incubator.

He doesn't know about the financial side of the chickens...well with exception of the coop and run, lol, but that's in the past.
I sell chicks in order to buy more eggs and because I usually only keep a few chicks for myself it usually works out! I had to hatch all year last year but it paid for my incubators. I'm not making a bunch of money but it seems to be a hobby that I can keep it paying for itself.

Aaaand as long as her Silkied Cochins keep laying I've confirmed Silkied Cochins for Easter!
