ok, so today I'm going to clean incubator/hatcher. Tomorrow I'm going to set some eggs;

 

1 Buckeye (courtesy CL)

3 Javas (courtesy CL)

4 Icelandic/EE

2 Marans/Cornish

2 Icelandic/Sussex

and one (or more) other, but I haven't chosen yet; maybe an Icelandic/BLRW; or perhaps a few pure Icleandics?

 

I'm hoping that the weather improves - I'd hate to have to roll out the generator and start it up if we get a power outage.

 

I HATE hatching - it's so nerve racking and I'm oh, sooo impatient!

 

 

(Oh, and got to clean the garage refrigerator - hubby changed the temp gauge and everything defrosted so got to toss it all out barnie.gif)

by the way, it has been terribly windy here all last evening and night and still now -- the plumeria tree trunk is moving ... Kihei has reportedly been blown over to Molokini ....

OK guys so I have been looking into incubators. I think I found one. Let me know what you think. I am gonna add the auto turner. But I really like this one because it has a big window. ( great for my kids)
