Does Anyone Feel Sneaky With Getting Hatching Eggs???

[Mourningdove]

everyone!!! I am curious and wondering am I alone on this feeling? Let me explain it..... ok back on June 12th the post office delivered a box that contained brown leghorn hatching eggs to my
door

I carried the box in the house and straight to my sewing room/office...I walked right in front of dh at the time...he never even asked me what was in the box

so I never told him about it

so I unpack the eggs and place them in the carton to rest over nite

The whole time my bator is already running and waiting

The next morning in place them in the bator Now the bator is sitting where anyone can see it and dh is always coming in this room but has never noticed the bator all plugged in with eggs

Yesterday we were gone all day and I came home to some newly hatched chicks

and dh still hasn't noticed it

and I still didn't tell him

now the funniest part about it all is all the cheeping that now 4 chicks are making and you guessed it dh still hasn't noticed it

now I ask you am I bad for not saying anything and hoping I will get caught with brand new fuzzy butts?
DH never pays attention

Perhaps he did notice but figure he's not got a fighting chance?

The typical reply when hubby sees me with a new box of shipped eggs is "Another one?!?!?!" He gave up trying to keep me from buying/bringing home chicks, eggs, OR chickens, lol.

Maybe he chooses not to notice it?

My Dh knows LOL Any box sent here for me contains eggs, fabric, or horse tack!

Sounds like my husband, when I get busted with eggs he says "those had better be food" ... well ...umm ...they'll eventually... make food

We do what we have to to fuel our fuzzy butt addiction

He knows it makes me happy so he just chooses not to comment.

I just hatched silkies a couple of weeks ago...I put cochin and brahma eggs in last week and just got a shipment of 41

quail eggs in today. I didn't tell my DH about the quail eggs and was planning on "sneaking" them into the incubator without him noticing. Of course, the UPS shows up while i'm in the shower this morning. What transpired this morning:

1. Me: Humming in shower.
2. Me: Hear doorbell ring and think, uh-oh, but then think, maybe he won't even notice.
3. DH: Knocking at bathroom door
4. Me: "Come in" in my very sweetest voice
5. DH: What the heck is with the quail eggs?!?!?!? (As the sender had beautiful marked the box with huge letters...)
6. Me: Oh, didn't I mention i won a contest on BYC for free quail eggs? (which is the truth, winning the contest that is...not the mentioning it part)
7. DH: No
8. Me: Isn't it great...free quail eggs?
9. DH: Well how many is it?
10. Me: timidly...41
11. DH: silence and slow closing of door
12. Me: Walking into living room, spying package on kitchen counter, DH in recliner.
13: DH: What the heck are we gonna do with 41 QUAIL!?!?!?
14. Me:

Play with them???
15. DH: Shakes head and declares for GOD to help us.
16. Me: Happily unwraps eggs with 5 year old son in heaven and sets them for for hatching!

HA! (I WIN)

When I first started hatching eggs I though DH wasn't noticing that the bator was staying full even though chicks were hatching. I finally mentioned something one day and he said "oh, I noticed, but it won't do me any good to say anything, so I'm just ignoring it."
