Still here.

Random eating eggs sure can work, I have some in from a roadside stall at the moment. Going to put more of them in for Valentine's day too.

I was going to order in eggs but after the last two batches were cooked by the crazy weather I decided to just use the cheap local eating eggs till I'm sure the last of the heat is over for this summer.

As for candling, I bought a high powered 9LED torch from the local hardwear store. Works quite well and cheap.

Well, I have my incubator all cleaned out and running. I didn't find any eggs at the auction tonight but I am picking up a dozen EE eggs tomorrow and a friend of mine gave me 4 RIR eggs to try an hatch for her. A bobcat killed all her chickens and she had the four eggs in the nest box. So hopefully they will all hatch.
