šwater color egger update:
We do have some fertility in the pen! However itās been raining here and cold for like two weeks and I have broody hens in the pen that I couldnāt deal with yet.
I candled one of the hens eggs and there are chicks. I think Iām going to leave her to hatch fro me. (I think)
I removed the other broody hens to a pen without a nest and will start doing ice baths as often as I can until we break them. However it will take a little while for them to lay again and see fertility pick up. However we are heading in the right direction. And I have enough hens that I probably will be able to get started on local orders soon!!!! š by then hopefully we will have those other few back on board. Up date soon!
