We anticipate the eggs that were placed into the incubator on Jan 21 to begin hatching on Tuesday, February 11. For this batch, we concentrated on the blue eggs and dark brown eggs. One of our desires is to have more dark brown egg and blue egg layers in the flock.
We lost the white silkie over the weekend. I found the chicken dead in its cage on Saturday morning. I could not find any evidence of foul play from a preditor.
Rockstar has been hanging out in the quad area of the school away from the rest of the flock. He will defend his area from any other rooster and willingly allows the hens to scratch in the grass, a true gentleman.
