So far 29/49 have development. All but a dozen are labeled. And of course they are all fertile. So I get surprise colors!

What are you hatching? Are they shipped eggs or from your flock?

Here's a chick... Hoping my April hatch has the same results. Most have feathered legs exactly what I wanted! Cochin Giant Cross! They'll be gorgeous!

I get volleyball, I played it in high school. I just never heard the term.

Neither had I. And it took me a few minutes of thinking about spinning volleyBALLs, imagining pent/hex-agon shapes drawn on eggs (and yeah, those are SOCCER balls...), before my mind let go of the ball and realized that she meant "player rotation". (Sometimes I'm way too literal. and slow to grasp more abstract references.. so I write for those following along who may have had the same confusion I had. I didn't mean to suggest that you were completely unaware of player rotation in volleyball.. i was just trying to help others who may have failed (like me) to make that connection right away.)

Of course, now I'm imagining a little net stretched across the middle of Cindy's incubator, and something light like a cotton ball for her chicks to play with, to entertain them after they hatch.. .
