Saturday

You know the old saying don't count your chickens before they hatch! Well I counted them and guess what, they haven't hatched yet! I think I had the temperature a little lower than last time. I had planned on getting a new themometer before I incubated again, but I didn't :/ I have raised the temp and keep checking so far not even a pip. I hope I fix this hatching problem with the barnyard beauties, because my Marans are due to hatch in 10 days and I don't want them to fail. We got the stanchion built last week and finally got Miss Lady on it yesterday. She did pretty good for her first time she really likes the sweet feed ☺ Trimmed some hooves and attempted to shave some hair off my girl, but my brand new clippers quit working after about 10 minutes! I'm planting my trees tomorrow before I host a party for my MIL's birthday, I hope I get my house clean! Have a great weekend y'all!

  3. Crossing my fingers for a good hatch. It's so disappointing to find out you've got a bad hatch after waiting three weeks!

  6. I bought some eggs one year in the winter and I think the post office let them get too cold in the truck. It is a hard time of year to keep things warm so if you get a few to hatch, you are doing good.
