EE-17 weeks, BLRW-24 weeks, Cochins-29 weeks AND NOT AN EGG IN SIGHT! I love my girls, but I think they have decided that they are so pretty they don't need to work.

10 RIR I bought on eBay hatch date this Saturday.

14 White Leghorns on Tuesday. This is my first time with multiple hatch dates in the same bator.
