E-Bay Eggs On The Way!

I had no idea how much fun chickens are and what personality they have, let my chickens out to free range for the first time yesterday, they were just joyful running around chasing bugs and scratching. The astrolorpe hens would just take off and fly as far as they could across the yard just for the fun of it as far as I could tell. Love my Chickens. My babies that I hatched, they wouldn't be here but for their bird obsessed Dad.

Yeah you need a lot more powerful to see the dark brown. I really love a pen type light I bought from walmart, it was about $15 but it is 21 lumens I think, its bright then several of my "large" flashlights plus the way the lens is set with a larger "edge" around it, its perfect for seeing through eggs(not that I have any that dark but I bet it would work well for dark brown ones).

First time I set eggs I started with way too much humidity too, then moved them to a brooder I put an egg turner in(reptibator wouldnt get above 93-95 ish) and forgot to add any water...but I'm in a humid climate and it was like 35-45% and its in the room I was in the most which we dont really heat or cool much because I'm comfy at warmer temps.
