Reno is sooo cute! Very civilized. Are these sex links? Was the first chick a roo? Anyhow, Yay!

Wow! that was quick! Hopefully the other babies will be as fast.

It's amazing that you got any as far as you did. I think Reno is an excellent name for such a lucky chick. I want to see some little fluff ball pictures soon.

Any babies yet?

Thank you! I hope it works out for hatching chicks. How are your whole foods eggs doing?

Actually, I did an instructable on my incubator here. Mine is small but you could scale it up pretty easily. The key is the electronic thermostat; it keeps temps between 37.5° C and 37.7°C. I would gladly help in any way that I can. I like building things. I got some eggs from Craigslist and...

Hi Lazy Gardener! I do have calendula and marigolds now that you mention it. I am not familiar with nasturtium, but I will do some research and hopefully see if they will grow here. Sunflowers will go in as soon as I harvest the beets. I have not seen and dahlia or cosmos around (either growing...

@MisfitMarie Yay! for 25 eggs. It's neat that the largest eggs were also the most viable. Any hens that come from them should also be jumbo egg layers. It will be fun trying to determine their breed unless it is super obvious. I mean they are "Rock Island" eggs, maybe some type of "Rock" like a...

I just got back from Trader Joe's in Winter Park, Florida and no fertile eggs there. On a good note, I received my thermostat for my incubator and I only need my hygrometer to get started. It looks like I will be dealing with Craigslist for my eggs. I really wanted to do grocery store eggs so I...

The Whole Foods in my area does NOT sell fertile eggs. Lots of fancy shmancy types but no fertile eggs. I will try the Trader Joe's next and see what they have.

I love watching my chickens. I agree they are fun and goofy and very therapeutic. The garden is so I can have fresh vegetables and helps to feed the girls. I do enjoy it but it is not a pretty garden only practical. If I had the space and the resources I would make a huge english style maze...

I am definitely going to try. I live in Florida and Whole foods has been here a while but Trader Joe's is just now coming here. I will check out both. Backup plan is to get eggs from craigslist. There was a lake near where I used to live and when the ducks forgot their eggs you could smell...

Wow! I was planning on doing the same thing. Well, not going to Reno, but rather checking the local Whole Foods and Trader Joes for fertilized eggs to hatch. The Trader Joe's does not actually open till next week but that is ok because I am still waiting on parts for my incubator. What are you...
