FRIDAY JUNE 17, @ nite plugged in my Genisis for a second time.
Since I had a good hatch rate after messing up last time, I feel Calm.
IF it is Not a good hatch, I have many adolescents to look after.

I kept 11 of the chicks, sold the other 7
Just not enough room to keep Everything.

FINGERS CROSSED
With the "Hatchabatch" app I get a reminder
June 23 "Candle"
July 4 - "Candle
July 5 - remove egg turner & go into Lockdown
July 7 - if all goes well - CHICKS!

LOCKDOWN has begun!

CANDLED eggs - looks like the BLUE adolescent SHOWGIRL roo is not doing his job ~ Yet!
There is a few that I marked "maybe" because the development wasn't what I thought it should be.

5 Valentino (White Showgirl roo x White silkie)
5 Blackula (Blue Showgirl roo x Blue showgirl)
9 Partridge silkies
_______
19 eggs TOTAL

Will cull hard because hopefully Blue showgirl roo will be taking care of business soon.
I will want to load the bator with those eggs for the next round - (*o*)
