Yes! It is fantastic and Sally Keeps it updated too.Most of you know this, I'm sure, but for those that haven't read it yet... Ron has the link in his signature to Sally Sunshines article Hatching 101 (including shipped eggs). It is an absolute must read for beginners (and pros as well). I reference it constantly throughout a hatch.
Just wanted to say good morning to everyone........and thanks for the coffee................................
Well for the 2015 hatch-along I will be ordering SFH eggs from you
That article is awesome! I read it through several times before setting my first batch of eggs and still refer back to it regularly.Most of you know this, I'm sure, but for those that haven't read it yet...

I have nothing much else to do but look for entertainment on here.Oh my gosh, I can't keep up with this thread! It's growing by leaps and bounds!
I have nothing much else to do but look for entertainment on here.I'd like to be out building more on my coop/barn but the weather is just too nasty out right now. I talk to and play with my baby chickies but they'd rather I left them alone.
I stare in the window of the incubator at the duck eggs. But then I start to feel like a creepy duck stalker.... So I just come and be a forum stalker instead!
I understand. I usually want all of the rare ones too.I am freaking out! I have really bad chicken fever and want to incubate now! I want blue marans and ameraucanas and frizzles and silkies and olive eggers and Easter eggers and Phoenix's and polish and Cochins and d'Uccle and Japanese bantams and lavender and chocolate orpington and any other blue chickens!!!!! Help! I have problems
Put me down for the hatch a long. Thanks, drayeAt noon on December 11, 2013 (local time), people all over the world will be setting eggs with the goal to hatch out hundreds of cute little fuzz-butts all on the same day: New Year's Day 2014!
