Egg Hatching

[Mini Horses]

Most of "my" eggs are pipping. The dz I bought, not as much -- although the one out & one almost out at from bought dz, as we're the 2 non fertiles. Weren't shipped but from the auction. Next "project will be pen the full cream legbars for pure eggs & collect from pure BOs penned when they lay. Just a "fun" project now -- kinda like "fun" goats started

It is fun (and maybe a little addicting) lol!

Hatching going pretty good not 24 hr yet since first broke out. Have 6 standing & 4 more almost out. The don't care for the bright light. Need to see how many more have just begun break out tho.

Exciting. They're noisy, banging around. I want to remove them & the shells but holding back until tomorrow. Takes willpower to wait.

I believe, suspiciously, my lavender Orp is trying to go broody. why not 3 weeks ago???? Before the 'bator.

Noticed her all fluffed up as I tossed some scraps to the group. Thought maybe a tiff with another hen. Next day saw her rushing, fluffed again. Began looking for a hidden nest. None found. She was calm later in day. Tonight, I go to get eggs and she's sitting where momma hen & chicks have been overnighting....4 eggs under & she fluffed and pecked at me when I retrieved them. Oh, my. More decisions.

I love a good broody. I'll wait & see what happens.
