EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

Aw, crap. It would have to be the 30th. I have a day full of final evaluation meetings on that day. No way to move them.

It's okay. I can suck it up

It just sucks that it's that ONE day...

The little duckie that hatched survived and is in with some silkie chicks.

I've noticed the time and days are not always right on here. I'll be looking at a conversation I was just having and it will show the wrong date.

Wow - it's super slow here!!!

Wanted to share a couple pretty egg photos. My girls from the over-Christmas incubation/Jan. 10 hatch have started laying. Tank's daughters were first and are most consistent already (no surprise - but nice, since their mothers had late maturity), but the other two are Goodwin's (lavender ameraucana) daughters with the blue/black copper marans girls. Very nice olive eggs - one last week, another tonight (don't know if it's the same girl or the second one). Alas, no natural light for todays, so it looks more spearmint-looking in the photo than it really is (it's more olive colored in real life). The other egg is a NN pullet egg.

Last week's (pre and post rinse):

B. E. A. utiful!

And the bonus is that they are sweet, good-tempered girls as well. All of Goodwin's daughters are (he was a good boy). I miss him (lost him - I think to a fox - suspect he was trying to defend two other pullets who had flown out of the paddock, also lost). Poor boy had a rough end, feather trails all over the yard. RIP, poor sweet Goodwin. I managed to get six daughters from him, two from copper marans, four from an olive egger that were set as soon as he was lost.
