Halloween/Thanksgiving Hatch-a-Long 2019

[ShrekDawg]

You didn’t say real animals or plastic.

I already have plastic (and stuffed) animals

I want the real deal

But I guess like ~1 quail chick could fit in there. Maybe a button.

I wish we could saw some of our huge pine trees and make our own boards to build one.

I wonder what the rules are for that...

Probably prohibitively expensive though.

Drill a big hole, and attach a hardware cloth door.

I candled. Can’t see anything in the dark brown, speckled things, but I tried!

Happy Hatching to you all!

Any egg-sized watery mass can sub.

But again, that takes all the FUN out of it! And who wants to chance having a "watery mass" burst inside their 'bator ... especially when the alternative is to "test run" a few egglets?
Then again, ... I guess I could see the logic of running the beast with a couple of sturdy water balloons in it ... but ZHEESH ... that sounds BORING!

Eggs D12 & L12

We had to make an entire walk in coop when my husband wanted to get them. They're so big. I love the green sheen on their feathers when the sun hits them. Do you have a pic of her?

It's a yucky, foggy day here, today, but I'll see what I can get. I do want to get one of her with my bantams, if only to show the kindergartners how well their "baby is doing, now ... and how big she's gotten! I think a classroom visit is in order ...

I just checked on my twin egg... There are so many veins!!! By the way, red sex link eggs suck to candle, I can see no veins but there is growth. I hate brown eggs! The twin egg is a light cream egg so I can see everything. Both are growing at the same rate from what I can see! I'm keeping a close eye on this egg.

The egg is an extra large egg so maybe they have a chance of both surviving
