What are your Spring 2021 hatching plans?

I know isn’t it awful?? The 2 guineas were a mated pair too and they along with the 2 underage chickens just disappeared when we lost power! The next day I went to check on everyone cuz I couldn’t lock up their coop (we live in the middle of the woods so no power means no light whatsoever). I’m not sure what got them cuz there wasn’t even a little patch of feathers like the 2 that got taken by foxes and the guineas were too big to have been picked up by a hawk.

That's terrible. I hope you get some more.

If all the chicks hatch out of the eggs I ordered, I’ll be up to 39 cluckers

What kind of a coop set up do you have?

The hen I was expecting to get broody got eaten by a fox but I have this one hen almost the size of my rooster I’m feeling optimistic about. I don’t have the time, budget, or ability to start incubating so it‘ll be a strictly what happens happens situation

If you can get into incubating it is fun!

It’s a 12x15ft coop with a built in brooder and 6 nesting boxes up on legs so there’s space to walk under it. their roost is a 4 rung ladder style.

I have another coop that’s still being built, so it’s not being used yet. It’s a 12x12

What’s better, the previous homeowner built it so it didn’t cost me anything to built lol. I just had to add chickens

You're so lucky! My dream is to have a big enough set up where I can keep adding chickens and never have to worry about space.
