I'm sorry for the inconvenience, maybe I smooshed the word after to the link -- try this one:

http://www.onlineauctioncolorchart.com/

and if that doesn't work -- maybe google 'on line auction color chart'.

It can be bought from them, it can be bought on ebay -- It is in the prize package for selection is a person who accumulates the most points in the quarter were to select that prize. It would be nice if the club automatically gave one to every member. Way last year or early this year, I guess it was a perk to people who signed up too join Cream Legbar Club -- Yipee. If I had any extras I would arrange for you to get one - but I don't.

The really neat thing about it cleansquared, is that when I'm looking at a swatch of color - someone in a remote location can be seeing identical color - providing we are both looking at the chart.

ETA - oh how funny -- I hit reply on the previous page before forwarding to this one and seeing that two BYC members already solved it. LOL

It's been a rough week. Tuesday night we had a massive freak thunderstorm come through with 80 mph winds. About midnight the electricity went out and a 6x12 pen in the yard got picked up and smashed against the fence. Went out in the storm (and let me tell you storms don't scare me but this one was SCARY to be out in!!) and gathered up 40ish wet, terrified 6-12 week old chicks. Stuck them on the covered porch in crates for the night. Came in and wrapped the incubator which contained 140+ eggs, including about 35 cream legbar eggs and 20 isbar eggs. Sat up until 2 AM in the dark fretting about the eggs... finally temps were down to 89 in the incubator so I took 30 eggs out to hens sitting in nests. One was a broody that stuck so I know her eggs are OK, the other hens were just riding out the storm on a nest so of course they were off the eggs in the morning when I finally dragged out of bed at 7:30 and they were cold. Threw them back in the incubator just in case. At least we had electricity again- I have some friends that STILL don't have electricity tonight! Lost $600 worth of eggs most likely but I won't know until I candle in a few days.

I also cleaned out the baby pen (3-5 week olds) and gave them all new shavings because the blowing wind had drenched their bedding. Started them on Corid "just in case." Went out this morning and my sweet little Channing boy was dead. The one that won the photo contest. I am just heartbroken. He was the lightest male I have hatched yet and I had such high hopes for him!

I am so glad tomorrow is FRIDAY.... sore from helping my sister paint at her new house on top of the chicken emergencies. My crazy week isn't over though until Sunday afternoon- then I am going to CRASH.

so sorry to read this! fingers crossed that some of the eggs pull through anyway...
 
Yes, our plant in Tulsa (the one I worked out for the first 5-1/2 years of my career) was with out electricity and my Boss who lives in Oklahoma told me that they had roof damage. It looked like quite a fearce storm.

While you may have lost some eggs, I would bet that many still hatch. Letting the eggs get cold for several hours won't hurt them much. The hen can leave the nest for a few hours at a time if needed to find food and water and the eggs wait for momma to return. I saw somewhere that someone was working on an incubator that would actually cool the eggs for 30 minutes every day because duck breeds were claiming better hatchrates when the eggs were allowed to cool durring incubation.

The resucue doesn't sound fun in a storm, but you did your best and what ever the outcome we are here to support you.
