I think that with the break during the conversion folks saw how productive they were when not chatting all the time... :lau
In all seriousness, I think it's also just a busy time for folks who care for livestock and gardening//farming.
Nonetheless, we'd love to hear how your chicks are doing...
It's quiet over there (Sally has baby goats and has gone awol, several others have taken a break) - come visit us and give us an update on your hatched chicks!!! :D
I've done shipped eggs before (and they were REALLY beat up during shipping). There is a tension between not wanting the eggs to be too old and wanting the eggs to rest upright (and not turned) for a bit after shipping before setting n the hopes that the air cell reattaches.
I think things will...
