Congratulations to the photo contest winners!!

I just want to say that I really loved everyone's captions! It was hard to choose. :)

Congratulations guys!

Then that would be Pip! pip! hooray!!!

Thank you all for the hugs. Now @Cynthia12 I'm so very very sorry for what you posted. It's not easy not all. My Grandpa had a really good fight. We caught it pretty early and he fought for over 14-15 years. He did really well until a couple years ago. We were able to keep him home so long...

Thank you. Yeah it's bittersweet. My Grandpa was more like a father to me and it was a long battle with Alzheimer's. I was also one of his main caretakers and lived with my grandparents for over 4 years before DH2B and I got serious. He also loved Easter so it's been hard. However he was saved...

Thankfully most of them weren't to be incubated but rather sold to egg customers but there was a few I wanted to incubate. Really it was the mess more than anything. It's been a tough Easter here anyway as it's the first Easter since my Grandpa passed away the Sunday before Thanksgiving...

Well I'll be praying for all of you that could be effected. Hope everything goes well. Been a rough couple of days. After dropping/smashing all the eggs yesterday and losing the little brown quail chick that got out of the brooder. This morning we lost my little hatched one. I think maybe it...

Where are you guys expecting such a huge storm? Congratulations to the new people that posted their hatches. And good luck to all those still incubating. Also good luck to this worried about outages I hope we are all okay.

Yeah wevew experienced it with chickens but less so with quail. I'm guessing the baby got lost in the porch and got too cold to make it back to the heat lamp. Still odd that it managed to get out. Really hate losing any of them but especially a brown one and especially when we just bought...

Coldish and non-responsive not icy but cold also it wasn't stiff. Still nothing from it. I'll give it until DH2B gets home from work but at this point I'm fairly certain it's a goner. Sadly. Still can't figure out how it managed to jump out about 3 feet without anything but pin wing feathers.

Glad I'm not the only one. Yeah we had a blizzard last night too. We heat with fuel oil so it also sucks the moisture out. I think the biggest problem has just been the big swings in temp and humidity here. Oh no I find they're growing a bit on me too especially with the bow tie but I don't...

I know!!! I'm so happy we actually had this happen once last year too and that's how we met this breeder. He's an awesome guy. I love seeing them all happy and calm with their new family. I was so so hoping the other egg would survive and hatch but at least I can provide a family for the...

I'm so sorry your hatch didn't go well. Actually I'm sorry for everyone that seems to have had problems. I wonder if being early this year could be part of the problem. Oh goodness. How sad. I will definitely be careful when I have people around my incubator. Okay ladies and gents and...

Glad I wasn't the only one. Our second egg died in lockdown and so we have only the one chick right now. I hope your hatch finishes better than that.

Hey guys Update. We are done. Sadly. I candled when I saw no external pip and when candling I could see the chick's feet up by the air cell. The veins were not distinct like I like and I figured it was dead or stuck and close to dieing. When I opened the air cell it was clear I was right...

Congratulations to everyone with chickies and everyone still waiting on babies. I hope I'm not the only one left. Humidity seems to have stablized today so that's good. I can't wait to start some more eggs so I hope this little hatches ASAP. Sorry for everyone that has lost eggs or chicks...

Yeah being in Wisconsin it's usually extremely dry in the winter and spring before the rains come. We've only had one maybe two good rains so far and this week we are only in the 30s all week. Ick. Of course if you don't like the weather in Wisconsin wait five minutes it will change. LOL That...

Eeek!!!! Yay! Congratulations! To them and you guys. :) I love the shirts. Still drooling over your littles. The pair I met were elderly and didn't lay anymore but they were so nice. I was attacked by my baby sitters 30+ geese when I was very small so I'm hesitant around them. The sebastopols...

I love it!!! I am coming to your house for dinner. ;) Even DH2B loved the creativity of your post. We really want to raise our own pork. Oh I wish you lived by me. I have been thinking about getting some Sebastopols. I met a pair that I really really loved.
