Ha, I found a place where Melissa Rose is..had to share a picture of what I got in the mail from her today. Did you make this Melissa, did your DH help? It's sooo cute! Thank you,, that was a fun Christmas hatch along, you and Deb made it so much fun.
I know my girls are going to love this! And I know just which two are going to love it the mostest!

He cut the wood for me

!!! With my poor vision I stay away from circular saws

. Miss Clara my sweet polish lassie looooves hers

! The Christmas Hatchalong was just so very fun

!!! Deb - Hot2Pot is just such an awesome person

!!!!

Oh lucky you!! I would love to have a hatching cabinet!!

Hope he says yes!

My silkie babies are doing great!!

They are growing so fast! Can't wait till they are big enough to go into my new silkie coop!!! And I can't wait till they start changing colors!! Melissa how are your VHD eggs doing?

Really Good!

!!! The Ameraucanas from Nellie are doing great and so are Jim Hienz's Iowa Blues. I have some of Banjoe Joe's Mottled Houdans hatching today

. Tomorrow is the hatch date for Nate's orpingtons and then Friday is the hatch date for Deb's Buff Brahmas and EE's whewwww! I won a Catdance Auction but the lady that came from Loiusiana last week has already bought them all before the eggs even arrived this morning

!!! I also got 36 silkie eggs on Monday from the Heritage Poultry Farm and set them Monday night. I can't seem to catch up with the silkies

!!! That's why my sweet hubby is considering letting me have a cabinet

!!! He's so very AWESOME he went to the Poultry Farm to pick up the silkie eggs on Mon so I wouldn't have to have them shipped

I calibrated my hygrometer twice!!! As after a few days It didn't seem to be reading correctly so I took out the batteries and re calibrated. This is what I used in the Brinsea that told me the temp was low but humidity was correct. I reset the batteries again before placing in my hovobator for lockdown and it is reading 80% humidity after I filled the 2 channels the directions say to... I don't really trust that thing as it has gone AWOL 3 times in 3 weeks... I live in southern california so my climate is dry!!! We have been experiencing a mini summer here the last week with temps in the mid 70s to low 80s!!! I guess I just have to hope something hatches out of this batch of eggs.

I will check out his website as I am still trying to figure out what went wrong with my 1st attempt .....
