Quote: I had a horrible time hatching Marans eggs until I started using super-fine sandpaper to sand off the color in stripes running top to bottom (like pumpkin ridges go?) all round the egg. I got 80% in the hatches after that from local eggs. ReallY? What does that do? BTW checked all...

Alright! Here are pics! There are about 30 chicks in this particular brooder, so it was difficult to get them isolated. Red guacamole compote cups work great for food & water bowls...or beds...or toilets! All-in-one! Like a beetle on its back... Ignore that porcelain d'Uccle and the...

Okay- last one hatched, too. It's another with lots of white and black on top, almost like it's a white chick that walked under something with wet black paint. The one that's more black has feathered legs and feet. I'm boggled! They all came out of identical eggs!

I have fluffy-butts! I got an interesting mix, though, and would love to know what they are- two are pale an almost look purply-buff, one is mostly white with black on the top of the head and top of the body, and then one is mostly black...phone isn't charged enough to get a pic yet. I have one...

Quote: THANK YOU!!

Quote: I set the BSS on the 28th, and I have 5 going strong still! I'm really pleased with these little tykes so far!

Quote: Wolftracks- I know Jenn got your eggs, she just hasn't been on to say so! (and I've been praying for you fwiw.)

I got my eggs, I think...I have a lot of eggs coming at me all at once...

Quote: Okay, well, when you're ready to know, I'll see if I can remember what I sent... Did I send 3 or 2 kinds or 3 pairs? Or... I send a lot of eggs...

Quote: You are so very patient- you haven't even asked what they are! I envy you your ability to not pop!

So: who's gotten eggs, and what did you get? Do you know? Let's share the fun! Sheesh...it is so quiet in here!!

I think in general, I love to figure things out. I really love to make people wonder what they have and have been known to write nonsense code on top of the eggs just to confuse. I'm horrible!! I hope I can remember what I sent...

Quote: So sorry you had the flu! That's awful! Well- that's more like it! I do poorly with apprehension, so I get to choose?? Hooray!! I guess I'd like the Sussex, that's a hard choice from 2 amazing breeds! Wow- I would be happy with either! I hope you feel a lot better.

Has the swap changed? I thought we were supposed to be keeping a secret of to whom we send and what we sent...unless begged and bribed I'm not telling until someone is JUST DYING!!! But whoever sends to me has to tell me right away because I'm really bad with apprehension and will bust apart...

My eggs are sent!

Okey, dokey! I'm in, and unless begging and pleading occurs, I'm not sending EEs this time...pm me for eggs. It can't be a surprise if I always send those!
