I tried taking a picture blocking the light at the bottom but the eggs are too small for my hands and they just come out red.

You got good pics Saab!

How are they looking today Saab?

They are looking great. I'm down to four. 3 Seramas and 1 Japanese Bantam, but I saw movement in all of them. I tried taking pictures but I couldn't balance it properly with one hand and I didn't want to hurt them or change their orientation too much. I'm going to go on lockdown on Saturday because the breeder says that her Serama hatch on day 19 for her. I should have chickies Monday or Tuesday!

It's very hard to take photos and candle with one hard, I know, don't risk dropping them.

Do you have a box/brooder/cage ready yet?

That's the task for today. I need to get new drawer liners, I think the ones we have are too slick. I have the rocks but I need a shallower dish. I'm thinking on just using a plastic tote since I have one of those eglow chick brooder things instead of a heat lamp. I'll pick up some chick feed on my way to work tomorrow but I already have the nutridrench. Anything else I might be missing?

Raid the kitchen for a shallow jar lid type thing.
Dollar tree sells rolls of the grip shelf liner stuff..one whole dollar.
Paper towels?

I know of the magical Dollar tree, I'll go there. I have a lid that I'm thinking of commandeering but I'll look around when I go out just in case I find something better. I might buy a dollar tree mayo just for the lid.

I walk the aisles and look for stuff that I can macgyver into chicken stuff.
