Oh this little one went through it.

Two so far out of this miracle hatch at this point.

The power went out during our massive storm and the incubator they were in DIED for good.

Moved them to another incubator with a camping battery... That wasn't gonna hold out long.

Moved it down the street to a friend's then it came BACK the next morning because they don't have the space.

Now we've got a couple babies!

It's true 🤣 I love my man so much. I'm so surprised he's marrying me. No kids but now there's a chicken room, the spare bathroom? Well the chicken's meds are in there. And probably a chicken depending on the nonsense.

What's this on the counter? Probably for the chickens. What's this package? Oh that was a new waterer... For the chickens.

He loves my crazy

Oh to have the patience of a mother hen. Xayah is learning. She definitely did not start patiently she was kinda mean. 🫣

Morning babies! Two hatched so far. Hoping for a better hatch. Everyone candled great.

Any tips that you guys use for hatching?

Two incubators full and ones chirping in lockdown! Maybe my broody mamas will be helpful.

This season I borrowed (yes borrowed) a chicken to breed. A gorgeous starlight green egger with the brightest green eggs to pair with my splash Maran. (The light is not doing them justice)

Hoping for some speckled egg layers if we are lucky.

Really curious how child rearing is going to go with this trio.
