Hatch A Long with PenguinsCrafts

[BlueBaby]

In my batch of eggs, I paid for 24 received 30. There are 4 pullet eggs. I will give them a shit as I have had pullet eggs hatch before.

Lucky you! I didn't get any extra's in mine.

Connecticut.

Tracking on it. I would say since it is doing the auto system update the package is lost



Seller is giving it another day. Seller does not know I use to do Mail runs for the PO with my husband

It look's like they went to Massachusetts, and didn't they just have a Nor-Eastern big storm up there? I hope the eggs didn't get frozen!

I am so tired after making sure all of those shipped eggs got properly taken care of, feeding my next door neighbors animals and mine too, then on top of that I had a Splash Australorp chick hatch out today too but it's from my own B/B/S Australorp flock. Hubby bought us some Subway sandwiches for dinner tonight. Can I kick back now?

My broody hen started sitting on 16 eggs on the 13th. This will be here first time (and mine) I thought I was going to give her 12, but they just kept disappearing under her... so I kept going. I hope that wasn't a bad decision... but I guess only time will tell. They will be a mixed bunch if they hatch CLB rooster and hens are BO, EE, Maran, Barnevelder.
I waited 5 days of her being broody before I gave her the eggs.
She is an EE and was top of pecking order, so it will be interesting to see dynamics if she is successful. We built her a nursery pen right in the coop, and im making sure she eats and drinks at least once a day.
Not sure if I will attempt to candle eggs on day 7 or not, its a bit awkward to get at them.

We set eggs- 9th, 10th, 11th, & the 12th at 10pm CST. 104 all total...
WE SHOULD HAVE OUR HEADS EXAMINED!
However-I'm SUPER excited!
All Amaraucana chicks! LAVENDERS & BLUE SPLASHES, even hatched a red splash last January 21! I AM LONIN' THESES SPLASHES! I'll get photos included on the next post... BTW? Is there any way to tell whichever chick ones will "splash"? Bought the parents as chicks from a local farm supply store. Clueless at how lucky we were!
Sssso, the pins & needles wait is about to get the best of me...UUUGGH!
