Happy Holidays!

 

Very sweet, and clever.

Woohoo! Sounds like a nice variety! Does that fill up your incubator???

It should fill exactly...I'll have to stack any eggstras! DH still doesn't know......

OMG your too funny! I cant wait for them to hatch! What color silk hens???

I only have 1 and she is pure white. I bought her at 2 weeks old at a flee maket. She has 5 toes and has black skin. So i think she is a showgirl? But still. Im so excited.

All Silkies have 5 toes and black skin. A Showgirl is a naked neck Silkie.

Wet and dreary day, so these two decided it was best to stick near their room, lol. Everyone else looks like a bunch of drowned rats!

Hey you have my turkey.

Gah! I giv up! I hav no eggs for the hatch a long! Only 1

You still have a few days hang in there. Plus there are contests you can enter even if you are not hatching. FUN for all

I'm excited for the hatchalong. Even though the hens have decided to play hookie I should have a few wels, a few OE, a few CCL and some of my own LF mottled cochins from my bo garret pair! Not a full bator but better than nothin...always happy when the great lord above blesses me with some!

I Have tried EVERYTHING/all sorta lights to candle Maran eggs!!!

GRRRRRRR someone please please tell me a secret!!!! frustrating!!!

Sally. I can't even see through my OE eggs. You will know if they are developing or not. Actually as time progresses you will definitely see the non-developing eggs. I usually just check the air cells, another way is to make your own with a spot light like this

Quote: I want one of those also.

Looks like I won't be joining after all, wasn't planning on more than a dozen Polish eggs but they have stopped laying all together

blah

Love the avatar......That doesn't mean you still can't join the fun

I guess that makes sense, lol. You should contact them and explain what happened, and they *should* send you a new one, free of charge. When the turner motor crapped out on my Genesis 1588, GQF shipped a new motor to me immediately, completely free of charge and I didn't have to pay shipping or anything. Awesome customer service there.

Did you have to prove when you bought it?

Quote: I only love it for a few days then I'm done. It is raining here in OH, I assume Jim you are sending that crap our way

Snow means cold and frozen hoses and frozen waterers and frozen toes and frozen fingers and diesels not wanting to start and...

No fun

So now we are only 4 days away from set. I see folks are asking questions on the contest page. Sorry I never scrolled that far down, just go in to edit.
All contests that involve photos are to be put here, myself or one of the other chairs will copy and paste to another page, with a link to look at. We are still wrapping things up and Chiqita is trying to come up with a calender for the contests. Please ask question, here one of us will eventually get to it, I was 123 posts this morning when I woke up from my pain med coma this morning. I don't know what they are because they actually don't knock you out until you go to sleep then it puts you into a 12 hr coma. Weird because if you take during the day doesn't make you sleepy. .
I hope everyone is wrapping things up with their incubators and getting eggs together, I here the PO should be blowing up with packages from this hatch yesterday, would be interesting to know how many states sent out eggs yesterday and today. I have babys trying to hatch this morning. It always seems the one you think will pip first, always pips last and the one that pips first hatches last.

I am please to introduce to you

The babies some of you watched hatch or pip today.

Its simply amazeing how cute and tiny they are

Eggnog , and Gingerbread

They are so cute! It was fun reading the comments yesterday as people were watching them hatch. I only have dial up here so I never get to see video <sigh>

My eggs are in Nashville, I've never been would love to go. My lavender AM apparently isn't doing his job even though he only has 6 girls. I'm glad I didn't send any out. I sure hope my Lav Am/ BR are fertile, she just started laying and I'm collecting every egg, she lays.
