My eggs are officially in lockdown. I thought I saw one wiggle and thought hmm that sounded like a cheep but I don't think so lol.

And Im very excited, I didn't even ask him to do it because he hates my chicken addiction, DH built me another brooder today

. He decided to build some built in shelves in the garage for storing all my animal supplies like feed and scoops buckets etc. He also added a built in brooder to it. Its not very big but the thought that counts. On the opposite side of the brooder is where the feed will be stored and its completely closed in with a door on the front so rodents cant get in. Its heigh off the ground. I will try to get a pic of it later, its not fully done yet. The brooder side still needs some hardware cloth and the feed side needs the door hinged on.

That is very exciting!
 
I put my eggs in the hatcher tonight, 1 araucana was not fertile. I only candle to find the dip in the air cell just as I put them into hatcher. I only lost 1 so far for the hatch-A-long.

I had 10 out of 10 RIR's hatch Friday and they were eggs I had bought off e-bay that were mailed to me. 100% hatch rate on mailed eggs. WooHoo!

Who did you purchase the eggs from on ebay. What is the user name? I may get me some of those! You may send a private message if you do not want to disclose the name on here.
