CLB hatched!
I was just about to go out to school Leavers ball and the Cream Legbar has hatched!!
Not sure if its a girl/boy but the other has hatched (under broody) and they both look different but have the pale male dots
The Araucana has pipped pretty much all the way but isn't out yet, and nothing from the Barred Dotte yet, but it wobbled at me .. not due until today anyway
Will get photos later :)

The 2 Cream legbars ... I think they are 2 boys 'cos of the autosexing dots in top of their heads ... but not sure if the one on the right is a CLB ?!

Day 18
Tis day 18 so stopped turning the eggs today :P
3 eggs left in the incy (Cream Legbar, Araucana and Barred Wyandotte) and 4 under Hilary the broody (Welsummer x Maran, Welsummer X, Cream Legbar and a Pekin)
Have set up a broody cam on Hilary - it was in the nest earlier and she pulled it under her and tried to hatch it?!
Its up high now out the way.
They're due on Wednesday :) :)

Omlet Hen Parties
Just realised I haven't blogged about it yet! :P
I've booked my first 'Hen Party' on 30th May.
Basically people come round and have a mini chicken keeping course, have a look at the eglus etc
Looking forward to it :)

Not made it
None of the chicks have hatched :(
I got rid of the eggs today - they're 3 days overdue + weren't alive.
Pretty sure its the dodgy incy's fault :|
Roll on the 19th/20th May for the next lot, and hope we have a bit more luck then!
