Eggs - Day 11!

Still no batteries.

Today has been a very busy day. If the weather is as nice tomorrow as it has been today, I'll be entirely done with the fencing! Livestock here we come! Today, though, it was all about doing the fencing in the back of the pasture, and lining the front with chickenwire. Tomorrow, when the girls and boy wake up - They'll be stuck out back in the pasture, and not even need me to wake them up!

Marc Antony's temporary rooster corner is down, his rooster pen is open, and now the chicken coop is a lot more open and spacious.

The eggs have been doing fine - Still, there are only two confirmed chicks. I think that is how it will end, sadly. The humidity dropped to 30% today and had me panicked, so I quickly re-soaked the sponge and set it back in. Since Moha's eggs don't seem to be coming along too well, I found a freshly laid egg of hers today and saved it away for later incubation. I've recently heard that someone actually stored some eggs away for 3 weeks and they still hatched! Oh, and the other nice thing about Moha's egg - It is truly pink. It was the most pink egg I have ever seen. Forget the rare Croad Langshan eggs. Moha's are amazing!! I really really hope Mohogany's eggs will also be as pink, so I can start a pink line of eggs in with my brown, chocolate brown, blue, green, white, and olive colors.
