I think they want to go sledding. but they should have asked yesterday, the snow's all melting today.

You can have our snow! It's falling pretty thick now.

Hi folks, we just got ourselves dug out from the blizzard yesterday. Lost power for 5 hours and on and off all night. I haven't had the guts to candle yet. If I had been using the genesis, it would be over for sure, but the Reptipro only got down to 85. Guess we'll see. I'll check on them tonight.

I have heard peeping from at least one egg. At this time I am just SUPER IMPATIENT! I will not open that incubator to save my life because I know how important it is for the chickies. I have some of my beer making equipment pulling double duty for me. This allows me to add hot water from my tea kettle into the incubator to maintain a high humidity between 63% and 75%. I hope this is an OK range. I might have to go outside and do some chores or something. I AM GOING TO DIE!!

is that an IV bag???

Counted up the eggs in the incubator currently:

6 mint green eggs from the Lavender Ameraucana Bantam x Iowa Blue
10 blue eggs from the other Lavender Ameraucana Bantam x Iowa Blue
5 olive eggs from the blue cuckoo bantam Marans/Ameracuana F1 x Iowa Blue
(all these eggs going towards a Blue Egg Laying Bantam Iowa Blue project, aka the "Bantam Iowacana" project. LOL)

29 Iowa Blues
(Iowa Blue Selection)

5 Olive Eggers - more for the laying flock

Looks like 14 of 18 for NYD are still going plus 13 of 15 set 4 days later....plust 29 set last night.

Have only thrown out 6 eggs so far of the 62 set. Hope they continue on as well!

That is FANTASTIC!!
