Candled all of the eggs tonight. Most of them are developing, but a few had to be pulled. Some of them that hatch in June I left in just to be sure. What is the real harm in leaving them in right now?
OK, so I have some that will hatch in 3 days. Moved them into the new incubator with the fan and laid them all out flat or horizontal. Then I have another batch that will hatch right after we get back from Texas. I probably should have counted all the eggs, but didn’t. Think there are 12 chicken, 5 geese and about 9 turkeys in the first hatch.

Went out in the garden last week and did some work. Found this snake under one of the large metal pieces I use to keep the weeds down. Let it go outside the garden. Did a lot of mowing, and moved Drew’s frames for his boat over to another spot. Thinking about building a garage and we need to cut some of the trees down first.
