This week end saw our final hatch occur. We had put Batwoman in with Bobbins - both black chickens hoping that we would get more very black chickens, so 5 of her 6 eggs hatched. We also put 14 more Dominique eggs in to hatch & 11 of them have hatched, so this is our most successful hatch. They continue to amaze us with the will to escape the shell, and ability to play so soon after hatching. They are all very cute too, all black at the moment some with blond bits bit for the most part black.
Conch is now in the 'high school' part of the chicken house & he is as feisty as the others. His identifier is he has no tail feathers -yet, so I can tell it's 'him'.
The incubator will be put away now til next year. You may be glad to hear that!
