6 hatched in the end But sadly 2 died within 3 days :( the rest are doing well and starting to learn to fly already

1st hen hatched last night and is enjoying his 1st day of life drinking and eating :D Some of the other eggs started to move and i think i heard a chirp .still no holes yet on the others

Il be planting out today my 2nd lot of mix salad plants , Just hope the slugs dont get this lot :(

The bran and botts here are working on the cabs/peas

6 Bantam ARAUCANAS and 6 MARANS went into 1st incubator today at 12 The 5 light essex are 5 days old now and from candleing them seem to be growing well

1st egg from batch 1 just piped at 19 days 20 hours Its still working its way out :) I hope it makes it .Im not sure if any more will make it due to bad temp changes at the start and the bad turning of eggs intill i got my new auto egg turnin incubator

100 onions 20 garlics have all started to come to life :) keeping the chickens from getting them seems the hardest part ..

The greenhouse is slowing getting full with peas,toms,cabs,lets,corn,spin,goses,chilles

Greens are doing well will be netting tomorrow not just to keep the chickens off :)

Ice lettace i repotted last week is just picking up aswell as the spinach ( not in shot ) seem to be forever repotting at the moment

My 1st of the year sowed outside pea just come up :) Il be planting the greenhouse ones with them sometime next week.On the 26th i got my eggs in ,Black Red / Black Araucanas & French Copper Black Marans Not that confident in this home made incubator as 3 different thermometer are giving 3 different readings Iv chosen to go with the normal mercury thermometer for my readings.
2 pounds china made elec one gives 41c .
not so cheap elec Innovation outside moniter one gives 38c
and the standed merc one showing 37c

Now the 8th of march I have gone and got a new incubator to try again in fear that this hasnt worked and will be getting new eggs next week .
