Hey Dan, The red box was first for 2 eggs, then the yellow box got the next 5 eggs over 5 days, then the red box and yellow box started getting eggs in either. The green, blue and violet boxes have not had eggs to date. Cat food is a treat only, and have read is ok in moderation. I am going to get a different Chicken kibble today for a diet change.

Decided to keep putting daily fertile eggs into the incubator, as the now 21 eggs are all numbered and documented by date and nesting box origin. Will move born chicks to a different raising unit as they arrive. Just need to get an additional one: Attachment: 37C 63%H.jpg [ 34.86 KiB | Viewed 2322 times ] Attachment: 21 eggs 050923.jpg [ 53.5 KiB | Viewed 2317 times ] |

Watch out for disease in the chicks if they hatch, one hen at least in that pic above is very sick. If they hatch keep them separate from ALL other fowls and wear full protective gear and wash your hands. Could be very contagious. Good luck, think your going to need it
