Malayla and Caelans eggs could start hatching any day now!
So we have good news and bad news! Bad news first... unfortunately Adelaide and Remingtons eggs are not fertile, and so far Tayce and Haldens are not looking fertile either. I had hoped they would be, but with this being their first clutches it is not really surprising that they were not.
I am going to let them have one more clutch to see what happens! The good news is that Mayalya and Caelans 5 eggs are all fertile though! Caelan is an experienced daddy, and the fertility of his eggs shows it! Haha Here is the egg update for today. Malayla and Caelans eggs are showing fertility so far!
Adelaide and Remington: 6 Eggs Malayla and Caelan: 5 Eggs Tayce and Halden: 2 Eggs We have 7 eggs so far between 2 of our pairs!
Both mommas have started incubating steadily now, so I will be able to candle them in a few days to see if they are fertile. Keep your fingers crossed for them everyone!! Tayce has been spending most of her time in her box the last couple of days, and I am pretty sure I see a egg bum starting so she and Halden should have some eggs of their own soon too. I guess Malayla was inspired by Adelaide, because she has laid her first egg tonight as well!
We have a first egg for Adelaide and Remington!!
This is their first clutch, so I hope they will be fertile! All of the hens have been kicking the shavings out of their boxes like crazy the last couple of days, and I think I see the beginning of an "egg bum" for Adelaide!!
