Hows the weather gonna be in NY tomorrow? I hear snow and freezing rain? I am supposed to go to NY for the weekend but rethinking it due to weather. I hear bad conitions in NY tomorrow on the travel in and REALLY bad conditions here in NH sun coming home. Im thinking its not a good idea.

Not directed to me but I'm in Upstate NY too (JLaw and I know each other from the NY thread) and yes, there's supposed to be a storm tomorrow night into Sunday with up to 8" of snow.

So I candled - still too early to see in the marans eggs, but I saw little guys in my EE eggs! I'm nervous about the leghorns though - I didn't see any development and all were yellow instead of orangy - I'm worried they may not be fertile, as all of them were like this I'll give them until day ten, though.

Let the one in back know he's only part ninja I saw him after looking at the pic 2-3 times. He needs more training before he can say you cant see me.

I am in Pueblo, CO and set a dozen barnyard mixes and 15 Silkies.  Still trying to connect with the local egg seller who will sell me a couple of dozen (or so) hatching eggs from his laying flock of mainly Production Reds and a few others - possibly a leghorn or two, and if any of those hatch I may keep them, love leghorns.  Anyone else in CO hatching?  Think I saw at least one other here.

If you like leghorns try white breese ! Yes I m a breese pusher.
