Let the hatching begin!

We had our first set of eggs hatch this week. Out of 14 eggs we have 3 frizzle chicks and 3 Easter Egger chicks. There are 4 eggs that appear to be duds and 4 that have potential to hatch (fingers crossed). Here the cute little peeps are!
Our hatch schedule is as follows: 
Hatch #2 - Tuesday April 14 - Easter Eggers
Hatch #3-Thursday April 16 - Easter Eggers
Hatch #4- Friday April 24 - Silkies :)

I have yet more eggs to place in the incubator, next week I set 20+ bantam cochins, and May 13 I set Turkeys and more chicken eggs! Our bator and hatcher will be busy for the next few months. 
We are working on building more coops, siding the buck barn and building a new goat barn. I am also going out next week to get a new bucking, someone unrelated who will make great babies with my ladies! 

Oh we did have some good news, Ariana and Willow are doing wonderfully with the Seats. They love jumping on the baby calves! Just like a goat always leaping around! It is always nice to hear how the babies do when the leave. 

Have a happy Easter everyone!
