So glad to see that the madness I started 6 years ago continues. HAPPY HATCHING Y'ALL!

Hi Mahonri!

Still have chickens? Last I heard, you were thinning them out?

Do u people ever sleep?

Great question! Wondered about a few myself. Guess they are excited all right.

I thought I would post a picture of how I hatch my eggs. I take the racks off the turner and set back in the incubator. They hatch well for me that way. I also put a water bottle in as a heat sink to help heat stay constant at hatch.

That's great. Now, you need to post photos as they are hatching in there like that. Man, are those the color of eggs that I will be getting for the EHAL?! Those dark ones in the back? Gorgeous!

All I've heard is that the virus has already mutated so much that the flu shot isn't effective anymore; they are coming up with a new shot.

Okay, thanks. It always scares me about these things. My dad only has one working lung (thanks to the coal mines) and gets pneumonia easily so the flu can be deadly for him.

I made these for my wife. Recycling up!! I took old wooden windows and last year(2014) chicken calendar and cut out some of the picture and white siliconed them around the edges to the back of window panes.

Love this! I have a son that got me a decoration tray, with a photo in it for Christmas. Showing this to my DH. He got me a beautiful rooster calender this yr.

Had to post one more picture because I feel like I hit the chicken lottery! The newest chick is a naked neck! Earlier this year I lost one of my two naked necks to an impacted egg and I was so sad. Of course she was my favorite. My 2nd had just started laying when I set these eggs to hatch and since they all use the same nest I wasn't sure if any of hers were in this batch. But now I guess I know. I feel very excited and fortunate!
