December 2022 hatch-a-long

[gimmie birdies]

I am starting this hatch-a-long, because I just ordered eggs, but they will not be sent till next week, or the following week, I am guessing, and so my next hatch date will be Dec. That is fine with me. I am a bit early, but seeing the waiting lists for chicks in the spring, and the ones I really wanted were sold. (Predators taking some of my flock as well, but I am curing that.) I sat myself down and thought about what birds I needed or would want for the next season. And I decided more Marans, and some Isbars. I will get those and some potluck eggs. When I receive the eggs I will post a pic. Below is a pic of my last order from the same farm.

They are only one state over from my house, and I most likely will get the eggs the next day after she sends the eggs.

I ordered eggs for Jan. as well. (Hatchery eggs.) BCM, Blue O, EE frizzle, BA, OE, LO. These will be different that the eggs I ordered from ID. (But for the BCM), I found a day that had all the eggs I wanted.

My eggs should get sent today, I will get them tomorrow with luck. My hens are coming up with some fertile eggs. I may set a few of theirs also. Pics soon. Dec. hatch date.

The eggs are at my post office. I have to get them when I run a few errands. I will put up pics when I get back.

I am hopoing to join here! I put eggs in the incubator today. Will candle in a few days to see what is up. I am hatching for someone else and many of the eggs are quite dirty. I cleaned them as best as I could without putting them under water so now a wait and see. Hopefully a Dec 10 hatch date!
