I'm not going to quote all the posts, it'll be too long! Excellent pics, Roc. Sorry about the quitters, but these pics are interesting and newbies can learn from that.

day 7 candle update!!!
Okay.... I candled the eggs today!!! Out of the 21 eggs, I was only able to completely determine 12 for-sure developers (10 FCM, 2 silkies) the rest are too porous or too dark to tell, at the moment. But te ones that I can tell are developing beautifully! They've got wonderful veining and eyes now!

Candle again on day 10. Hopefully the rest will show development by then!

I just got 25 bantams this morning. The PO called at 6:30 and told me to hurry up cause she could see one dead one and a few others not doing well. It is now 3:00 and we have lost four total. I am hoping the rest will come through and stay happy. They were all so cold to the touch it made me feel guilty for ordering them! Not sure why they didn't use a heat pack!

How are they doing now?

Hey Sumi

Have you found a new place yet?

 

[sumi]

Hiya, no, still looking. We spoke to another rental agent and told them what we're looking for, so they will keep an eye out also. It's not urgent, yet...

O kay...
So, I chatted with my daughter's teacher today about the eggs, incubation, what I'm going to be doing and what I expect them to do.

She let me know that instead of a classroom project, it's now a school project. No pressure.

XD Good luck!

Have prolly picked up all the bad habits of texting!

No, it didn't make it..... but I'm learning.

Aww, If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!
