We have 4 hen and one cockerel Rhode Island Red chickens. We have now isolated them on the Farside plot where we keep the nanny goats so that we can collect their eggs for hatching. We moved them over two days ago but the egg numbers so far have been quite low. I suspect once they are over the shock of the move, all the hens will be laying. We have one incubator on standby at the moment and another with eggs in that still has nearly a couple of weeks to go before hatching takes place.
We have orders for hens from friends to fulfill so it looks like the incubators will be running across the rest of spring and well into summer.
