So we were in Tasmania having a holiday just laying around reading the paper and BAM sitting there are the words chickens followed by for sale and then light sussex, followed by me falling off my chair.
So anyway long story short yesterday if you had of been at the Tasmania. Melbourne or Sunshine Coast airport you would have seen a crazy lady walking around holding (very protectively I might add) two dozen eggs, scowling at anyone who dared walk too close. But I am home now leaving behind me the staring, crazy looks, annoying people behind me making chicken noises, the people telling me they will have theirs sunny side down and the wow you’re planning to have a lot a protein today. All that doesn't matter now though as I have my chickies-to-be sitting beside me waiting to go in the incubator tomorrow.

Aaahh, that just made my holiday

When we went to the farm he had other breeds so we ended up getting 15 light Sussex, 3 silkies and he had a cage which had some silver pencilled Wyandotte bantams, white Wyandotte bantams and I don't know what the rooster was but he was cute, we got 6 of their eggs. And I am picking up some silver laced Wyandottes and some mutts eggs from a friend and also hopefully some more silkies, I don't know where from yet.
 
That's great we will be hatching the same day, well not us, The eggs

I couldn't get the silkies so I only have three silkies, 15 light sussex, 6 wyandotte bantams and 12 silver laced wyandottes. I couldn't wait till tomorrow so I put them all in tonight, I am guessing that means tomorrow is day one.
I will keep you all updated on how everything goes. oh and I almost forgot, One of the silver laced wyandotte eggs has some small cracks on the small end. is this ok? and
how/Will it affect it?

I can't shake the image I have in my head of you clutching your eggs and glaring at people! What a hoot! And here I thought the Hari Krishnas got a lot of crap at the airport.

My 11 year old is baffled as to why I am on cloud 9 over getting an incubator for my birthday. She really likes chickens, but does't quite get the level of addiction I have, poor kid. Thinks I should have opted for something like jewelry.

Enjoy your hatch, spoil your birdies!
