Just candled an incubator. 16 duds!
We hatch and rehome chickens, Roosters are unwanted by almost everyone.
All mature pullet's have hit the road jack.. Now we are at the crossroads once again. Time to cull. High time.
7 unwanted roos just reached breeding age, free ranging with my vip's.
Our main breeder roo (for the free range group), is spending more time fending the ladies than mingling if you know what I mean.
If the Governor doesn't call by Fri night. Cull is being scheduled.
30 eggs set and 16 just removed this morning. Worst candle ever.

These are getting tossed... :barnie

Might be the heat/molt is affecting the flock
 
So 1 main rooster and 7 young roosters = 8? X how many hens?
