Love to join we set 30 eggs in the incubator on the 15th. They are a barnyard mix of Golden Laced Banty's, Frizzle, and a couple of Polish. We also have a broody hen sitting on 8, don't count them in though. They only have a week left.

We have 4 more babies this morning! YEA! Two more to go, one has pipped. And the other one I have been questioning. Candled it last night looks good all around I just never see any movement. We have already collected 30 eggs to start our next hatch.

We had 2 hatch last night, one is zipping now and two started. The other two I have not seen anything happening. Very exciting, this is our first time.

I learned a lot with our new adventure in egg incubating. First off storing and cleaning fertilized eggs. We seriously thought with us having a rooster (3) and lots of hens lets hatch chicks. So starting out with 21 eggs, I am super happy to say we should have -5 days

I feel like I need to go to meetings already.

Hey All! This is our first time hatchings in an incubator. We started 21 eggs on the 21st, and hope to hatch some on April 11th. All are barnyard mix mostly banty's. We candled last night 3 were clear, 2 blood rings, we have 1 that I am questioning. But, the rest looked fantastic. So excited.

This is a photo my daughter actually took for her science project. Just have to enter it.

Two of our little hens.

Awesome, thank you.

Oh I didn't even think about game birds. Thank you. And, yes he sure is a looker. I love all of our feathered friends.

I didn't think so but the hatchery sends 1 "mystery" chick.

We received this cutie with a mixed bunch of chicks. His/her neck is throwing me off a bit. I can not figure out which breed or if maybe it may be a turkey!!! Thanks for your input.

Oh no, well maybe she will come around when there is more then one with her.

Well I guess we have 3 roosters!!! Not a big deal at all, I will find a home for two of them. The barred rock is so far the nicest out of the bunch but we will see what happens. Thank you all again for your time, I appreciate it!!!
