Hello everyone, not trying to get too eggcited but ........

I think I heard peeping!!!!!

I'm sure I did - sounds like just one at the moment but

I think I managed to keep my poor girl cool enough to keep those eggs going.

So fingers crossed

that little peeper makes it out of the shell.

 

[Whoops]

When I first saw the pictures I thought, "why are there avocados in there?" Then I looked up emu eggs. DUH!

Oh, thank heaven I am not the only one

Just finished testing my new Sportsman 1502 with 90% hatch on chickens. Now I'm on day 3 with Emus. Wish me luck

Emus!

Good luck!

We are hatching the same day!!! My hubby works Christmas (airlines), so we moved Christmas to Friday, and my college daughter is coming for the weekend. So I want them to hatch 27/28th as well.

My 13yo dd and I are having fun researching the ins and outs of hatching. My hubby doesn't like birds, but he is pressuring me to hurry up because he wants more eggs. But I failed to teach him about chicken math. He thinks a dozen are going in the bator, but I am up to 30 now.

My Brinsea should be here any day, and I have eggs being shipped next Monday. 2/3 of the bator will be shipped eggs, and 1/3 will be 'insurance' eggs of our own mutts. I do NOT want to have a sad Christmas if the USPS is mean to my babies! I ordered some CCL/super blues, olives, Marans, and a few more EEs.

How are things going with you roostereggs? Looks like mine are coming a little early!!

Lmao. I read this fast and i though i saw "how are things going with your rooster eggs?"
I was going to ask how you get eggs from a rooster? Or do you plan on all your chicks to be roos?
