Eggs. Hmmm. So, yeah. Been exciting here this weekend.

7 eggs under the broody, who I thought was the same broody as earlier (smaller leghorn). So I was amazed that she stuck to the nest so well. Turns out, this is another leghorn. I confirmed this because floppy broody is trying to sit on the OTHER nest. The one with golf balls. So, she got evicted.

So, I thought I was going to candle with the kids this weekend, but it was hectic and didn't do it. But I did a lot of research. So I have some questions.

Oh, the EEs are growing and are now the size of the smaller leghorns. Interesting to see how the flock dynamics are changing. The EEs are getting more assertive and the leghorns aren't liking it. I miss the others. They were way friendlier than the flighty leghorns or EEs. Still working on making friends here.

It has been 10 or 15 days for the eggs. Been looking at the charts and worrying if I have enough lumens for the brown eggs. So, what does a floating blob mean? Do you call that an early quitter and pull it? Not really moving as much as floating. What do you do if they are clear? Clear means that there is not a blob? The one that are clear, what do you do with those? compost?

Watching Kiki's videos, the only movement you see is the shadows change? Pretty interesting. And the brown eggs are harder to see into. Amazing. Really amazing.

Good night all.

10 or 15 what the heck!
You didn't write it down?????

Floating blob mean no bueno.
Clear...trash them if it has been 15 days!

GET A BRIGHTER LIGHT TODAY!

It's a thing!
That's what Hello Kitty Fresh is for. So I don't have to go more than once every 2 weeks.

Is it expensive?

Yeah!!! Way to go!!!

Thanks!
Waiting on dad so we can go to the car dealer. Gonna just browse vehicles while he does adult stuff.
Then we need to return the feed we bought that was molded.

I'm so hoping a lot of these chicks hatch because the more that hatch, the more I get to keep.

Gave some eggs and some of FSIL raspberry jam? Jelly? To a family friend last week, just figured he wanted them to eat but then he asked if he could enter it in the fair so I said sure cause I figure why not. Well anyway, the eggs got first place! His dad said they give a few first places (so idk if there's maybe different categories?) But still!! Considering I wasn't even planning on entering or didn't realize there was such a thing, I'm pretty happy. Although I think my parents are more happy than I am, they're like ecstatic/freaking out lol but it is pretty cool. The fair goes until Sunday, started Friday, so I think I may go down to the fair and see the eggs or see if it says what category or whatever I got. But heck, if I knew he was going to enter them, I would have chosen even better ones! Although I did try to put the best in the carton. I always give the best ones to people when we give them away (rare, usually just to my brother or friends who really need them). But yeah. Also wouldn't have refrigerated them since now they're wasted but oh well. I'm just amazed that I managed to get first place for such a last minute thing lol

How neat!
Congrats.

Is it expensive?

If you calculate what it would cost to buy all of the ingredients for the meals, then the fact that each meal is about 8 bucks a person, it's so worth it! I get to cook lots of things I'd typically never make and nothing gets wasted/ goes bad in my fridge because ingredients are all pre- measured. Kiki is suppose to try it and report back to verify that i'm NOT crazy, but I think she's afraid she'll like it.
