So cute! This is not helping.

It's almost the end of February, and I have one little egg in lockdown. I admit I just filled my online shopping cart with hatching eggs (Easter Eggers, Olive Eggers, Orpingtons and Marans...) and I was logging into PayPal, imagining a March Hatch-a-Long.

I emptied the shopping cart, and came to the hatchaholic thread!

I am trying to stop hatching!! But there are cute chicks to hatch...

How did you end up with one egg in lockdown? Did the others quit early or is this part of your recovery program?
I can see this working...maybe we should all try to hatch just one at a time?
(But I agree, your little peep will need "Just One" little friend)

I must admit I have a special liking for the black and white little peeps! My September hatch included 3 of them...then they turned all black (which is very pretty too). Do you think I could just keep hatching until I get one that stays B+W? I think I can control my addiction (not).

Hmm, keep hatching? That, my friend would be counter productive to our group motto! YET... those little black and white fluff butts are SO ADORABLE.... SO, I would have to TEMPORARILY support you in this ONE instance!

I had a dozen shipped eggs to start with. One was cracked, one quit early, and nine were 'yolkers." So, I have just this little one hanging in there, out of the dozen. An involuntary recovery program, I guess.

Thank you! Good advice.

I can just imagine, the way chicken math works, that I hatch a half dozen eggs to get someone to keep the little Sebright company... and then the Sebright doesn't mesh with new Large Fowl chicks, so then I have to hatch a bantam mix...

I am going to sit on my hands for a while and try not ordering eggs.

I've never seen a Sebright nor an egg from one. Could you please perhaps post pics of Sebright bird and an egg? (I know it won't tempt me in the slightest way--not)
