New chicks in the making!

hatching chickenI am going to be grandfather again, and this time it better be a big bunch of chicks!

Chicken chicks that is :-) One of our chicken didn’t leave her nest today, so we have been collecting eggs to put under her.

Main thing you need to know about collecting eggs are:

 

  • are they from chicken that "are visited" by a rooster each and every day?
  • you turn them 180 degrees every 12 hours so the egg yolk won’t stick to the scale

 

Once you gathered enough eggs, life becomes easy because the mother-hen is the expert!

Main thing to know is that the chicks will appear in 21 days from now, so I better write it down, like here :-)
