Miss Clara - a little soggy due to the rainy weather - was sweet enough to model the chicken swing that will be offered up for some of the prizes

I was wondering what this "chicken swing" business was! Cute picture! Beautiful birds!

I'll add it to the egg totals on page 18

So, somehow my 2 eggs turned into 3

I also have 8 muscovy eggs of unknown date now...thinking they should hatch post Xmas but this could be huge mystery factor that throws this game UPSIDE DOWN!

Mama lost her chance and I took them today, and they seem to like the bator. My guess is they are 2 weeks form hatch?

So what are the total # of eggs??

Does the first to hatch mean a live chick? Cause if not I'm happy to smash an unfertile egg

WOO-HOO!! A CONTEST!! I'm such a newbie, but I love you guys already!

Correction to my total...11 eggs percolating (one will be pulled tonite for hard boiled parrot treat)

I really must exercise my analytical tendencies and ask if "hatched" is once the chickie is free of the shell? or standing?
I just want to make sure that I don't call it too soon, or (heavens to betsy) too late...MY FUTURE CHICKENS ARE SCREAMING FOR A SWING!

FROM THE 'BATOR!

(praying that I don't interrupt Santa while I spend Christmas Eve night in the lounge chair in the family room, 'bator under my chin...)

Totals are updated blessedchick and psycoforsilkies

For the swings it will be the first chick to hatch and be free of the egg after 12:00 midnight Christmas Eve (Not a guess but who actually hatches out the first Chicklet) and then the total of Chicklets hatched Christmas Eve and then the total for Christmas Day. The totals are being tallied on page 17 and when we get more tallied I'll move it to my post on page 1 so it is easier to find. Deb is offering up some goodies as well so you'll just have to keep checking to see what they are
