April/May Hatch-A-Long

[Mrs. Fluffy Puffy]

I have eggs due to hatch today and tomorrow, but so far there is no sign of life in my little eggsters!

But there is always hope, right?

I got 18 LF Lavender Split Ameraucana eggs from Cindy ( a.k.a CRYSTALCREEK ), they're so pretty!!

It took me around 40 minutes to get them all unpacked from the Awesome packing job!!

Then I also got 21 assorted eggs from a friend's flock, along with 3 huge Peafowl eggs!

I can't wait to see what they look like!! I know she said she has a White and an India Blue male, running with unknown peahens!

She told me the chicken eggs will be Leghorns, Ameraucanas ( which I'm guessing are Easter Eggers

), Giant Black Cochins, and Domiques (sp?). Super egg-cited!! The chicken eggs are due on 4/26, and the peaeggs are due on 5/3

I have 11 Olive Egger eggs from another friend of mine in my other Sportsman, they're due to hatch next week sometime, along w/ my 4 LF White Ameraucana eggs in the Brinsea.

I have more Olive Egger eggs coming this coming week, so really excited about that!

I also have 4 broodies and all together they're setting on 43 eggs!

I'm going to have chickies coming out of my ears!!!

My friend is saving up more peafowl eggs for me, so I will be putting more of those in the 'bator every now and again.

So....what are you hatching, when are they hatching, what breeds? I'm nosy and what to know everything about your hatch!! Please tell me what type of incubator you're using etc, like I said above..I truly am interested in everything!

Have a blessed day.... at the computer!

hey mrs f p. (i love your name) i have 20 eggs due to hatch tomorrow as well. there are no signs of life in mine either.

i keep reading about everyone seeing their eggs rocking and rolling and hearing them peeping from inside. mine aren't cool like that. i started out with 2 dozen shipped from 2 different sources and 1 dozen from a friend locally. they are all sorts. some easter eggers, olive eggers, black sex links and black copper marans. i candled all 20 before lock down and saw movement in 16 and the others looked good just too dark to see. i'm really hoping that they hatch but it isn't looking so good right now. i am using a hovabator still air. this waiting is not easy. i went out to see my horse today to try to take my mind off it but was unsuccessful. oh well i hope you start to see some pips soon. good luck
