Some of my designer chicks from my shipped eggs are possiable Buff orp x Blue orp mixes the rest are blue mixes as well, I will be asking for help to tell me what is what LOL. My local eggs are Isa browns with some EE's 3 or 4 gens back.

I have a canon rebel xt. I looked and looked and had at one time decided I was going to get the Nikon D70. Then everytime I went to make the purchase I backed out. I just could not spend that kind of money. I guess I didn't want it bad enough. For 2 years my husband would say, "When are you going to buy the camera?" I would give him the blank stare and shiver at the thought of the price.

Last Christmas I told myself I would get a camera. I had been reading about the canon for a while. I am not a professional photographer by any means. I wanted more control than just a point and shoot but I did not in any way need anything really fancy.

I looked at the XTi that had not too long come out as the new improved version of the XT. There were little differences but the price tag was $200+ less for the XT through Amazon.

With shakey hands I clicked and purchased it for some crazy lower Christmas shopper price then got additional lenses and equipment at a huge discount through 47th St. Photo in NY.

I am very pleased with it. It does more than I will ever be able to use it for. It suits me just fine without being so spendy my chest hurts.

I have a 4gb media card for it and can take a thousand photos before needing to download them. I don't do that though. I download nearly every day to my 500gb external harddrive.

Me too, Henry.

Bonnie's wattles and comb are starting to turn bright red. I am hoping any day now to go out and find she has laid me an egg. I would love to collect 5 or 6 at a time and set them and see what happens.

I have 1 more set of eggs to come from Cynthia and then I think I am done with blue orps for the summer. I NEED some black orp eggs but I am scared to risk getting them from the same place as before due to the 0 hatch.

Good hatching vibes coming your way! I can't wait to see the pics of the little ones.

P.S.-I also have a Canon it's a PowerShot A560 and I love it.

I can't wait to see the little chick pictures. Isn't it amazing how these fertile eggs fly all over the country from one coast to another????
