Shucks. Well, we tried any way.

Laree and I will have to do really well to get us up to 36 chicks at this point so now I'm down from 102 to 59.

I'm thinking now I'll be lucky to get 20, but ya know, that's OK.

I always figure what's meant to be is what's meant to be.

That or it's the percocet working.

I'm down to 24 from 45. I'm glad I put some of my own mutt eggs in with the shipped ones, as those are all developing!

I have nine blue eggs left (seller sent 20 in a 12+, so that's about right for shipped eggs). I'm keeping the clears in my backup incubator and will toss at 10 or 14. At least my brinsea isn't as crowded now. Smaller hatch now = can incubate more later!

You guys are getting me all kinds of antsy to candle. Thanks.

I'm still going to try to wait until the ducks hatch. They're pretty much on "lockdown" after today, anyway. Not sure you lock down duck eggs, but why wouldn't you?

Sorry about your eggs, Mahonri. I guessed low after remembering last year your ~30% hatch rate. I tried to go to the results page to see what I guessed this year but apparently Laree's spreadsheet is the root of all internet evil and it's blocked at my work.

I'm glad your wife is OK

Having your children home for the Holidays must make it really special for you

I have a splash Ameraucana from Rockinpaints - Nellie - My Ameraucana Girls are my favorites and my polka dotta chicken is just so very beautiful

This pic doesn't do her justice though

Flap away, feathered friends! It's time for the Flapper Contest!

You may submit one photo for this contest, and if you post them here I'll snag them for the soon-to-be-created Flapper Page. If you want to PM me the pic, that's fine, too.

This must be your pic this year, any fowl allowed. Lemme know if you have any questions.

Here are a couple of examples from last year:

Those silly Silkies have a ramp and runway now...they practice takeoffs!
