Week 2, plus a couple days, and all 14 eggs still going strong.

There's roughly six...hard to count them as they're in a pig pile on top of the one's that haven't hatched yet. :P

edit...

now twelve.

They'll come out and go into the brooder tomorrow.

I'll give the two that show no signs of hatching so far another couple of days and then pull the plug.

I'll wait a day or so on the last two, but I don't think they'll hatch.

This thread has been moribund for a while, but it seems worth noting that I'm back in the barnyard after a couple of years away. This time with eight hens* (4 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Barred Rocks & 2 Rhode Island Reds), and two ducks that were a bit of a surprise and one hell of a mess. The whole lot went outside into the new chicken coop ($8 and all scrap lumber, which means than not one stick of it was straight...) on Saturday.

*I've got my doubts about one of the Orpingtons, but I've read that the males of that breed aren't very aggressive or loud, so there's an outside chance that we might be able to keep a contraband rooster in our downtown coop. Otherwise, he'll at least be tasty.
