Chicks are hatching :)

[sumi]

I have another broody. Actually the one I broke, laid a few eggs and promptly went broody again, this time in the coop. I shoved a few eggs under her and found my little banty hen beat me to it So in about 2 weeks' time I'm going to have to start checking for an early bird and remove it while mom finishes up/

I forgot to update. She hatched 7 chicks:

White hen went broody again and is sitting on 6 eggs and surprise, surprise, my rescued bantam hen went broody (psycho) for the first time. That thing lost her mind!? I went and marked her eggs today and she pecked me so hard, I have a small bruise on my hand. Fun times ahead with that one LOL

Can we have a group "ahhhhhhh!"?

Growing up too quickly and exploring further afield with mom:

Hope everything goes well with the sticky fingers kid! Can't wait to see your new chicks <3 I love baby chicks and the peeppeep noises they make!

@Myhouseisazoo2 I have a Brinsea Eco 20 and I'd recommend them to anyone. They are very user-friendly and I've had wonderful hatches in mine, both chicks and ducklings. They are pricey, but well worth the $$.

If I was doing bigger batches of chicks, that's what I would get as well.

You can put smaller amounts in the 20.

I have the humidity pump for mine. That thing works great.
