This is the start of the next 3 weeks!
Sounds a silly thing to say, but thats how long it takes to incubate a chicken.
I put 26 eggs in the incubator yesterday, so I'm hoping we have some sort of success. we have followed the guidelines meticulously so only time will tell. So tonight, if I go by the chart, the brains & eyes will be forming of our new family!
We had to separate the Dominique roosters, one of them was literally shitting in the nest thus the hen didn't want to lay her egg there. Not a nice rooster, so we have put the Dom. girls in with the nice guy and all seems more placid there. we will collect their eggs after this hatch
