Am thinking some chickens would like this:

 

[Blarneyeggs]

That is my Icelandic cockerel, Falki.  Eggs fertilized by him are part of this hatchalong.......not by me.....but by mbmess2003.  I don't do winter hatching but he's in Louisiana and will have much better weather than me!!

This Roo is gorgeous! And I'm real happy to hear you're not fertilizing your eggs ; )

Haha! My mom's always like " we only have 1 egg left in the fridge! I thought we got six eggs a day?" I'm like... theyre molting...

Too Funny! And mistaking incubator for fridge?! Love it! Now I need that cabinet incubator to make that excuse work.

but I don't remember my guess!!! So if I post to the thread..it'll be a new guess! Heck, I don't even remember what I had for dessert....does that mean I need to have it again?

I too like the way you think! And also can't remember what total number of eggs I guessed.

Mrs. fluffy Puffy, I would soooo be in on that contest! I believe YOU are the enabler here.

Okay for a goofy question when do they tell us who won the contest 1 aren't the eggs set ? heck I still havent received some of the egg's I was supposed to be getting.

I wonder if I could make these with some elastic to keep them on for my roos with big combs? My Polish already have their hats on, so that would be a few less to do

I have my brooder all ready for this hatch and two prior sets in my brooder house. Actually it's an unheated uninsulated 8X12 storage shed I converted for chick brooding.
Right now there are 50 freedom rangers in a separate brooder. They turned one week old yesterday and the building got into the 30s the last 3 nights. There's a couple toasty spots under the hover and the chicks are doing great running in and out just like they had a big hen in a cold space.
