Hello all.
It's busy..end of the school year time here.

In the hatcher. I now have 3 viable ones out...

YAY!! Happy for all the new babies!!
I think my three are going to be it for this batch.

Thanks Herman Esp since I thought it was last week. Although we have soccer from 10 to after 4 UGH!! Next time then. Have fun.
I am SO EXCITED!! My shipped OE eggs...WE thought we would get none. Then Monday I was removing them to throw out some more. I was about to just toss them all. Carried them in to the kitchen... But decided to candle first. I ended up putting 3 of them back. One with a smile marked on it...
