At least one of last year's babies is laying! 3 small eggs this week! I think it is Rory - she has a redder comb. Jaebels is still small to my eyes but maybe they are both laying. Egg #1 was slightly speckled and the other 2 are not. Hard to tell if they are from the same bird or not. But I am excited!

Hello from Lancaster PA!

Welcome, from Cambria county!

   Buy an expensive incubator and hatch them, I mean isn't that what we "should" do? There's no sense in wasting them.:yiipchick

Lol, x2!

Ana must know that her babies are due any day now. I reached under her to count her eggs and she watched my hands the entire time worth an evil glare lol. I'm glad she's not a biter!

I hope she has a good hatch...Lacey is still sitting tight but she has 18 or 19 days to go.

What size cooler is best for processing? No, no! I'm not killing the cooler! If I were to process six boys, what is the ideal size cooler needed?

Take them to Wal-Mart with you and see what coolers they fit in

Set 192 eggs tonight, including 4 duck eggs to "test their fertility". And pulled 10 Olive Egger chicks from the hatcher. Many look like males

I hope Lacey has a good hatch too but she's a seasoned professional so there's probably no doubt there lol. Ana has proven herself 3 times with raising chicks but this is the first time that she's actually done a good job of incubating them herself and keeping to the right nest lol. I even through 2 extra eggs in the bator a few days after I gave her the ones she has as backups in case hers failed. Now I have a feeling that she's going to hatch hers just fine and probably too early for me to add the extras in with hers. (I WILL be trying though)

I just use a standard sized cooler. You know the kind that everyone had that's red with a white lid? No clue of the actual size is. It fits 6-8 boys, depending on their heftiness.

I just looked on walmart.com and I THINK it's the 48 quart. Don't quote me
