Wait... were those eggs from ladycat by any chance??

She has crazy great fertility and shipped eggs hatch rates...

YES! The fertility rate was awesome, even with my inexperienced-at-incubating self!

Nice! She has awesome birds, too!! I'd love to have some Ermine Marans, but I just cannot condone that much white in a chicken in my flock, lol...

true!

But, that makes me wonder why my fertility is so bad... since my rooster is from her eggs... and 2 of my hens.

I had to toss out 19 eggs!!!!! most of those were clear, but a few were blood rings.

The rest are looking good though... of course crazy air cells... but whatever... they are supposed to hatch on the 18th, Saturday.

Ladycat's Black Copper Marans have MARVELOUS dark brown eggs!

Hehehe... There is ~200 acres of forest connected to our property... We are trying to buy a chunk of it from the owner...

Hubby and I just started clearing some of our forest. ~40 trees down and more to come. Mostly poplar and birch, some pine. Chainsawing is fun!
