Not yet. Jason keeps hatching special eggs for other projects.

It does look like it might help with shipping. We were going to try one day of incubation but the article said 6 hours helped for storage.

Thanks for the article!

Of course they run into the shade:-(. But most feathers " stand" like this.

Maybe she's just holding her tail oddly because she's being held.

This looks like a normal tail.

I

I haven't in that contest, I don't have any babies. Was hoping someone would catch the broody bug.
Entered the most striking fowl, natural egg and flapper contest though.
