you're kitty must be soooo warm and toasty with that warm glass against him. My cat loves to just sit and watch the chicks too. Why is that? He doesn't try to eat them but boy does he love to sniff them when I put one up to him. He just gets down in there with one nostril and lets all that...
My late shipped Valentine hatch happened today! I had set 15 eggs. 3 SFH, 6 Rhodebars and 6 CCL. 1 CCL was a quitter, 3 Rhodebars were clear and one had a blood ring., and 1 SFH was clear and 1 was an accidental chicken abortion (I thought it was clear until I cracked it open). All in all, 9...
Mine are set to hatch Saturday.... but could be Friday cause I could have sworn I might have set them on a Friday night. Who knows anymore. I had a good number of clears in these shipped eggs too. I'm not sure if the fertility rate was off or if they got a tad too chilled with the winter...
You all are havng such beautiful babies hatching today. I've been out most of this week with a wicked head cold but my biddies won't be coming out until next Friday or saturday cause of the delay in shipping my eggs from PA during the last blizzard.
Out of my 6 CCL, all 6 are still developing...
I've been candling with the light on my husbands phone. Somehow the little flashlight I like to "borrow" from my son to candle hasn't been found since our move. It appears I have to run to walmart to get my own actual flashlight for candling. so.... Which one would you all recommend?

I'll let my chickie poo eggs sit for a day and then load them Thursday morning (or Wednesday night if I can't wait).

this is my dream flock. I had a "couple of girls" two summers ago. The city decided I was too much inside city limits (my back neighbor was luckily in the country, go figure) and so I had to rehome my girls. Well, we tried buying land in florida to build a farm and we just couldn't make it...
Well i got an email that my eggs are to be mailed to me tomorrow. I think I must have thought "next Monday" meant the next Monday after payment and not NEXT Monday of the following week, lol.
That's alright though cause he's throwing in a few extra Swedish hen flower eggs to my Rhodebars and...
shoot. My eggs didn't come in time. I'm going to call a lady tomorrow that was going to have eggs for me next Friday for pick up (I was planning a staggered hatch with already set eggs) and see if I can get them early. I am itching to hatch more biddies.

I found my rhodebar eggs by a byc member in the egg selling forum here. timotzkus is the name. He has Rhodebar and Ccl eggs listed as well as SFH and another that I forget what it is.

Perfect timing! I'm in! I have some rhodebar and CCL's coming my way to be set. I just set a dozen in the brinsea on Saturday of a barnyard mix so these in the HAL will share the same incubator space, i'll just have a staggered hatch. FUN!!!!
