Quote: I figure: I help when I need to, because this isn't a natural process at all- we interfere by trying to emulate the process the mother would provide. Since we're unable to duplicate it, I see it as justified intervention to make up for the ways we may have failed the process...but...

Quote: Well, I guess that answers my question about how well the eggs might do shipping halfway across the country! I'm so glad they are popping out like that! The difference was one of original destination- some of them were going to go to a buyer who decided to hold off for a week, so I...

Firedove, How's the hatch coming? I'm really curious as to how they are doing!!

Mine will go out soon...must update Sept thread now...

Quote: Can we trade weather, perhaps? I have 40s!!!!

I got my email, and I'm going to be good and keep it a secret this time!! I'll send confirmation when I send the eggs!

I'm in...have 3 incubators just sitting there, moaning about loneliness and how I neglect them... Wheee! Of course there are 3 that are full....
