I dropped one. hide.gif It only cracked, but it was at the tip, and though the membrane wasn't broken, it was pretty mashed.

We're fine, then. No problem here.


Quite right. That's me, too.

Okay, Denny, I need a key to the codes on the eggs...P is Royal Palm? RB is Red Bourbon? X is a cross?...what's A?

 

And Shawn...tell me what these are again? I'll get a pic up as soon as I can...technical difficulties. 

 

I am also setting 6 Brown Chinese Swan Goose eggs!! My dudes need dates.

OK, all Sounds as if everyone is almost set here, sounds great to me!!!!! I have 17 turkey eggs, 12 duck eggs, 12 goose eggs ( really huge in a separate turner) and will fill the gaps in the one turner with chicken eggs next week. I already have the goose eggs cooking because I read they take up to 32 days so I set those on Wednesday. the chicken eggs I will set next Sunday. The turkey eggs i got from ebay and Zookeeper15133. All of Zookeeper15133's eggs all arrived safe and sound! the shipper from Ebay needs to attend classes from Zookeeper15133 on how to properly package eggs for shipping as only 5 of 8 made it through shipping. I guess you have to actually care if the eggs make it there alright. Thank you Zookeeper 15133 for the special care in packaging the eggs. 12 duck eggs from the mixed breed ducks that I rescued from the local city park (with the park rangers permission of course)( they were getting overrun with drop off ducks from fly by night fanciers) 12 goose eggs from the same park. Yes the rangers let me raid some new nests!!!! and I only took a few from each nest. so besides the chicken eggs I am all set for this hatch. I am actually more excited about this than I was for the Easter hatch!!!! Hopefully next year we can set up a swap to go along with the Turkathon.

Wishing a great hatch to all.

Jesse
