I have 24 eggs in an incubator that are supposed to hatch today! I need something to distract me so i dont keep checking on them all day!

I have 10 breeds of hen
1. Buff orpington
2. Easter egger
3. Silver laced wyandotte
4. Rhode island red
5. New hampshire red
6. Red comet
7. White leghorn
8. Barred plymouth rock
9. Black australorp
10. Sumatra

And my roosters are
1. Rhode island red
2. Easter egger (brahma mix)
3. Easter egger (game mix)

This is like waiting on paint to dry! The eggs are wiggling and i hear peeping but nobody is coming out yet!

    How do you know which ones are roosters and which ones are hens? Do they pop out of the chicken labeled? LOL

    I just put a dozen eggs under a broody hen. I'm hoping I will have some Orpington Buffs in a couple of weeks.

    Chickens are so cute and soft when they are little and then they grow up to be nice and yummy
