I need to double check but I thought it was 24 January 2012. It'll be a bit before I repost. I'm just leaving work.

I have two dozen of Brent's - Danny39 - beauties incubating now! Everytime I have some one over to see the chicklets they always point to my Blue Laced Reds and fuss over them

I know people are like those are very pretty chickens!!! I love my BLRWS! I have a pretty good flock, and i own 2 cockerels and 7 pullets. My last hatch had 3 fully developed chicks and they hadn't gotten in the air sac and hadn't absorbed the yolk. I didn't measure humidity(big mistake) and i hatched turkeys and the same thing happened. I'm going to get something to measure humidity.

Can he reserve a space for me, too?

We can all go to San Chicken together.

Yes indeed! He is NOT a fan of my hobby! I have some skills at sneaking eggs into the house and waiting till he's distracted before I put them in the bator! I even got a incubator #2 as an excuse to hatch pheasants for his friend, then said NO when he informed me they would be dog training tools!! Now it just feeds my obsession MORE!!

My DH quit complaining when I showed him this

It could be a LOT worse!
