What are your Spring 2021 hatching plans?

What breeds?

ISA browns, white leghorns, black sex-link, possibly golden laced wyandotte and black australorps. I think some of them stopped laying for the winter, but I’m not sure who has and who hasn’t. I have a lot of light brown egg layers, so it’s hard to tell their eggs apart. The chicks are all going to be mutts.

I'm thinking we might hatch out some ducks, we've never had ducks before, and we would probably hatch out a few chicks! I'm really looking forward to 2021!!

I may or may not have saved back an egg yesterday for my new incubator I got for Christmas.

I have a broody silkie, but I don't want her to hatch babies. I live in Michigan. I am afraid they would die.

It’s not technically spring yet, and this wasn’t planned, but I’ve got a broody that I’m letting hatch some mixed breed eggs now.

Chickens are very good at keeping their babies warm. Another of my hens hatch a single chick a few weeks ago, and it’s been below freezing since. We let them stay outside and they’re still doing great. Smaller batches of chicks especially are easier to keep warm. If you want chicks I’d say let her give it a try.

I might have collected another egg.

Replaced the eggs under my broody with 7 fresh ones, the ones she was already on were duds.

I’m tempted to get some fertile Silkies eggs from MPC.

I'm thinking of hatching some this spring if I end up getting bullseyes. I'm worried my male isn't breeding and hoping it's just a cold winter problem

You can't go wrong with silkies!
