Ooh, that one box of shipped eggs was a right mess, wasn't it?

Sorry about your not-blue blue hen, Cynthia!

Egg day? If it's a holiday I want to share how happy I am with the development so far on these shipped eggs in the bator!
Out of 18 eggs, 15 started development. Candle last night showed one had quit so I'm at 14 (so far). One more week to go!

The cartons are to hold them upright for damaged air cells... then I just tilt them, but didn't start until day 7.

(thermometer was coming to temp at setup, lol, I like how visible it is at night!)

OMG Hahahaaa I didn't know you had duck. What a perfect picture!
Either you have baby hands or some of those eggs are huge!

This is day 12. They're White Faced Black Spanish. I'm trying them again and have a local girl in 4H who desperately wanted some but her mom couldn't get any to hatch. So I've been praying hard for enough for her and for my project

They're beautiful. But I won't have single-comb birds again. It hurt my heart whrn my BJG suffered frostbite a few years back.

Just got finished mowing yard and and sitting under the shade tree with the puppies when suddenly Betty barked. I could see and hear nothing. She ran deeper under the tree and then I saw it, a hawk soaring way up in the clouds. She was looking up. Can dogs hear hawks?
