Hatchery Update

We have had a nice hatch of 4 Barred Plymouth Rock, a Buff Plymouth Rock Bantam, 2 Chocolate Orpington Bantams, 4 Rhode Island Red Bantams and 3 Light Sussex Bantams plus 3 Chinese Painted Quail. There are a bunch of eggs due to hatch over the next day or so. Will report back on those and try to get some nice pics.

In the brooders and growing on nicely are 3 Japanese Quail and a number of Silver & Light Sussex.

The oldest batches are all ready and boxed up for auction tomorrow. There are some Pekin Bantams, 2 Pied Jumbo Quail and a Cotswold Legbar. The incubator is pretty empty as I missed auction last week to meet with an officer from Worcestershire Regulatory Services about the possibility of opening the property to the public. Hopefully I will manage to buy about 15 boxes of hatching eggs tomorrow and get the incubator full again!
