Brown egg.

One of my hens that wasn't laying laid a brown egg yesterday! We had only to white chickens laying white eggs till now. I am so proud of her, she deserves a hug!=)

Hatch!

So 9 out of 11 eggs have hatched so far and at least one of the other 2 is trying to get out. I am so surprised at the success rate since I really didn't know what I was doing. Here are some pics.
They somehow ended up in reverse order when I uploaded them.

Egg Update

I candled my incubating eggs yesterday and they are all growing save one. They are supposed to hatch around Sunday. I can't wait!
I also added some new eggs to the incubator last Sunday. They appear to all be growing so I potentially could have 22 baby chicks in a couple weeks. Now to figure out what to do with the roosters... We might use them for fryers. We'll see when the time comes I guess. I will take pictures of when they hatch and post them next week.

Also other news at the Hodge farm, I know for sure one of my goats are pregnant. I was brushing her yesterday and noticed I could feel the babies kicking. It was so cool. She is starting to make an udder too so I know she is pregnant. I am not sure about my other doe. I suppose time will tell.
