Those are beautiful! I'd want some blue-egg-layers if they'd lay as blue as that. Good luck with the hatch!

Thanks! I'll keep you posted.

Wow, those eggs are beautiful!

Can't wait to hear about the hatch!

Are you using a commercial incubator or a home built one?

I'm using a Brinsea Octagon 20 Advanced with an added humidity control module. I also have 3 Brinsea Mini Advanced incubators. I work during the day, so I needed something that I could set and forget. Although, I've found that the displayed temperatures could be off a few degrees so they require manual calibration. Other than that, I am really happy with these incubators. I've never had a zero hatch. The worst I've had is about 30% hatch rate on shipped eggs. Hatching chicks is definitely a learning process! But it's so rewarding... And also very addicting! it leads to chicken math. Lol

if you find you have too many chicks, I'd certainly be interested in "taking them off your hands"!

I will post here when I have extras! And I most certainly will have some extras I'm sure

Here are the eggs I received today (I had to use the flash because the lights in my house are kinda yellow, giving it a green-ish shade). I've never seen bluer ameraucana eggs!

The air-cells aren't in the best shape, but I've seen worse. I'm going to let them set until tomorrow night with the air-cell up, then start incubating tomorrow night. Yay! I'll post pics when they hatch.

Those eggs are beautiful. I still haven't gotten my first egg I can't wait! My girls are 26 weeks old and I'm going crazy. I also wish I could have a rooster. I would love to breed my own chickens.

Had a fun day up at the Congress show! Met some great people and learned a lot!

Thanks.
I know the feeling! My marans that hatched in May just started to lay at the end of December, but my EEs who are 4-5 mos old aren't laying yet either... Hopefully soon! Days are getting longer.

I know when it finally happens I'm going to be so relieved. I feel like I'm waiting to find out if I won something! Lol. I am also waiting for the day I don't have to buy another egg from the store.
