It started rain sometime during the night and hasn't stopped. I couldn't even tell how much rain we've gotten, but a neighbor stopped by this morning and had 2 inches. The forecast was for 2-3 inches this morning, another 1-2 this afternoon and who knows how much tonight. We've had some dry years so the rain is much appreciated. The neighbors cattle don't seem to mind the rain either.
We opened the cattle panel so that the girls could get in out of the weather. I see they still chose to spend most of their time out in the rain. Shearing has been postponed until they dry out.
Yesterday afternoon one of our eggs hatched. This morning a few more decided to come out of their shells.
Still have several eggs that could hatch. It's day 21, and that was technically this afternoon- so we'll see in the morning. It's been exciting for everyone to be able to watch the progress. I'm really happy with this incubator ( Genesis 1588) - I didn't have to do a thing to it, no fiddling with the temperature, etc. It has the fan and a thermostat. I'd definitely recommend the clear top.
