Ok, so the other day I was mentioning to DH that I was thinking of worming the BR that are in the tractor. They are looking a little tough and haven't layed an egg in at least a month or so. I picked up some wormer when I was at TSC the other day, but hadn't gotten around to it yet. Yesterday, DH tells me that he used the wormer in the main coop (trying to be helpful

) on every one of my hens that are currently laying

and of course he didn't worm the BR.
So, I am going to have a TON of eggs over the next couple of weeks that I can't eat and my incubator is full until NYD or so. I told DH that I will just have to save a lot of the eggs and put them in the bator after the current batch has hatched in January. And THEN he tells me he promised my incubator to a good friend of ours that wants to hatch eggs in her preschool class in January. While I know she will be hatching our eggs and we will be getting the chicks back, I hate to entrust a lot of my purebred eggs to a classroom of preschoolers. Our friend is an excellent teacher, but anything can happen in a classroom.

So, DH says "I hate to say this, but I guess you'll have to get another incubator."

Merry Christmas to ME!

So I'm sitting here listening to peeping eggs, waiting for that first pip! Why is this part always the most nerve-wracking???

They're so pretty!!!! About 3 months, yes? She's gonna be beautiful!

I'm still trying to figure out -- what's the real difference between English and American orps? I know they're bred to slightly different standards (or in the case of the Australorp, very different standards) but I'm still trying to find out what those differences actually are.
