Update- 7 Days to Lockdown!

There are officially 7 more days until lockdown! I suspect some of the eggs might try to hatch a little early just because they were transported in the summer heat, but we'll see what happens.

Took this yesterday. Now it is on Day 9.


The two silkies, Brenda and Phyllis, are still brooding. I took some of the eggs that were underneath Brenda and put them in a separate nestbox and moved Phyllis over to it. (Phyllis has been nesting ON TOP of Brenda) The next morning I went out to the coop, Brenda and Phyllis had switched nestboxes..but at least they weren't on top of each other again. They are sitting on 4 of their own Faverolles/Silkie cross eggs and one D'uccle egg I snuck in. I haven't tried to candle these eggs yet even though they've been sitting on them for around 5 days now. I'll candle them tonight and see what is going on.

The eggs that Phyllis is sitting on. One of these is the spare D'uccle egg.
