Most of the eggs are from my barnyard flock of mish mash hens all being wooed by a big splash orpington rooster.  And the shipped eggs are Seramas... quite the contrast in egg size! 

 

Over 4 more days till I candle.  pop.gif

 


no worries.. I set goose eggs this week and will be setting muscovys (hopefully tomorrow)... so I'm in the REALLY late hatcher section!

I am right with you, thanks for asking, I was wondering the same thing! 

My family and I live on a small hobby farm in western North Carolina in Lincoln County. My wonderful husband married me in November of 2011 and I got a daughter out of the deal which not only made me a new wife but an instant mom. We have 2 dogs (Kaluha and Jake), 2 Tennessee Walkers (Rebel and Ginger), 2 Fainting goats (Charlie and Willy) and a growing flock of chickens and peafowl.

Here is my broody girl entry, this is Cornelia, she's sitting on 6 eggs right now.  2 Golden Comet/OE Game, 2 OE Game, and 2 mystery eggs.  This is my second attempt at hatching as I am VERY new to all this!

I candled some eggs tonight. Not all of them but a few. Looks good so far. I am just counting down the days until they start getting arriving. Boy I just need to work on my chicken math some more.
