I can donate a couple of key chains for a couple of games.

Thanks!

I will get some going tomorrow.

Oops! I added another egg today!! Couldn't help it. I'm just trying to up my chances of actually hatching some babies. They look all snug and cozy, don't they?

ETA: By the time it's time to candle, I may very well lose my mind. It's SO HARD not to pull them out!! I just wanna see what's going on! I'm a nervous wreck. My mom has already forbidden me to speak about them when we're talking because I talk about and fret about my temps and humidity so much, lol. I might break down and try to candle tomorrow. The kids begging me to do it is not helping, either!

Very nice of you Cynthia! Are those made from wood? Pretty!

Tossed the TJ eggs. All yolkers, except 1 that looks like it tried to start, but there was a definite, tiny blood ring up around the air sack and nothing else. I had to take 4 of my Bielefelders out too, and of my own eggs, 4 came out as well - ironically, the hen whose eggs I just finished a 100% hatch, this time - they were not even fertile!

That makes me sad!

That makes me sad!

Me too!
But, my bright side is this: even if I only get 2 Bielefelders to hatch, (3, if theyre all boys), my cost would be the same as ordering the chicks. And, all of my BCM/BR sex link crosses are looking awesome!!

Only like an hour until I set the quail eggs for the hatch a long! Hehehe, and I still have to set button eggs tomorrow for the HAL but after that my incubator is getting a break to be thuroughly disinfected! Don't know if I'll do another staggered hatch. I'll at least plan it better next time, this has gotten too confusing hahah
