Good one Dar.

He's on Percocet. He probably thinks today is Tuesday.

Dar has a better brain on Percocet than most people have at the pinnacle of their mental acuity. He snookered y'all.

Nah, the only eggs that actually went in on Sunday were the eggs in my bator. I'll wait till Wednesday.

I had the eggs Meg put in on when?... Friday or Saturday? for fertility sake?

Guess that doesn't make much difference now....

I feel like a total freak... I don't candle at all.

Anything that leaks or stinks gets tossed, but other than that, I don't check. If they haven't pipped by day 22 I open them up see what's what...

Anyone else just leave 'em alone? anyone??









dang, it's quiet in here!

Me. I do not candle. I have, but I find that hatching goes much better for me if I am only disappointed once. I even "loaned" my OvaScope to HHandbasket and Farmer Lew. THEY candle eggs and needed something better to see through darker egg shells.

...edited to add: "going better" does not mean I have better hatch rates, just that I don't get bummed by early quitters or other eggs which don't hatch. I have always believed that if even ONE chick hatches, it's a good hatch. If two or more hatch, then it's a WONDERFUL hatch!
