School is back in session. The 2019/2020 school year has begun

The school year began on Wednesday, August 28th this year. On August 7 I placed 24 eggs in an incubator. On Aug 27 three eggs hatched, one on Aug 28 and one on Aug 29th. The rest of the eggs did not hatch. The eggs were placed into a new incubator. For most of the time the eggs were not observed, we are trying to figure out why many of the eggs made it to about week 17. Disappointing batch. However, with that said, we did hatch two Orpingtons, two Plymouth Barred Rocks and, one Wyandotte.


Other updates:

Falicia was brought back to campus on Aug 23 along with a new goat named Moonshadow.

The younger of the two Brahma rooster males was given away to an elderly couple.
The Rock Star Polish Rooster was sent off to breed with a Polish Hen in San Bernardino.

We lost two hens, a Plymouth Barred Rock on August 26, appears due to a preditor and one on Sept. 2, our old white Leghorn. I found her in a hen box, appears from natural causes.

This brings our hen laying population down to 20. We start the year with just one rooster, A big Brahma.

The garden is a bit overgrown.
