Well, so far incubator one has yielded 25 chicks with one more to go (cheeping in the shell), everything that lasted to day 18 has hatched apart from 2 Legbars (Crele Pekin still to hatch), have moved them all down to the brooder in the shed and had a count up, we currently have 63 chicks in 4 groups ranging from day old to just over 7 weeks, obviously this will thin out next week as I should be able to sex the 4 week old Pekins and the 7 week old Old English Game Bantams are up for sale (6 girls and 1 boy). Next hatch is due on March 7th, so that's 11 days time, by which time, the 7 week olds will be outside and the 2 week old will be replacing them in their brooder, leaving brooder number 1 free for the next hatch...It's all a big chick merry-go-round.
Done more work on my wife's website today, it's really starting to take shape now and on target to be completed by the end of the week.
