TheDK posted:Awesome chicken tunnel raceway habitrail thing This is one of the best things I've seen recently, thanks for posting it!  And really cool to see chicks/quail hatching, it's immensely cheering. And thanks everyone for your support & well wishes...but we hit a snag. On April 1st I came down with 12_String's nasty chest cold thing, it got so bad & hard to breathe that it nuked my surgery dates.  As of today its finally starting to clear, and my oral surgery and heart surgery are both rescheduled, so... HEART SURGERY UPDATE! And I hope to God it's the last one, who needs this constant stupid lousy drama. My oral surgery will be done 4/22, the TAVR heart surgery on 4/29. I'll take a bit over 2 weeks to heal, & plan on Chickam eggs going into the incubator 5/18, with a hatch date of 6/8! I'll update as things progress. Meanwhile the chickens are all properly twitterpated, with all of the roos doing their thang...we're looking forward to a great variety of fertilized eggs when we do eventually set them to hatch. A couple we especially have hopes of getting chicks from this year: Bonesaw looks a bit like a chicken made by committee, I've never seen a feather pattern/coloration like hers, she's stunning.  Luna the silver-gray bantam Cochin hen really IS the color of moonlight, and veeeery fluffy.  Gretchen (lower right) is a splash lavender Orpington we got as a pullet last August at a local chicken swap...she's grown considerably since then!  Here she is next to Bobbie (lower right) the buff Brahma roo & Mjolnir (upper left, only half in frame) the buff Orpington roo for scale.

Mjolnir is a handsome boy and clearly knows it too.

Ngl, I'm a little scared of Mjolnir. Chick cam's back up after being turned off overnight for their first true night-time sleep (using an old webcam that doesn't have any sort of night vision, might look into a better camera for next time since it's also been annoyingly blurry). I also published the recordings of the stream to my channel if anyone wants to go back and watch the hatch.

All 5 have hatched, one is fully feathered so it is probably from the White Rock rooster we had at the time these were laid. Two are still in the incubator drying off and three have graduated to the brooder.
