Icelandic Chickens

Can't see a darn thing right now. The thick, soupy fog has moved in.

I just PM'd you about the fog. Yikes it is thick! I guess I'll have to have pumpkin pie for lunch since I am not driving to the grocery store! Eight hours till potential SNOW!

I'm glad to hear the snow is taking it's Thanksgiving break in California

and leaving us alone!!

Yesterday is the first day I did not get an egg from the Icelandic pen. I check several times a day, and at roost time. Today I got 2 eggs before noon. I am thinking I now have 2 layers!

Congrats! Have you cracked any open to see if the boys are doing their jobs?

No. I don't want to "waste," them.

I am just gonna stick them in the bator and see if they develop.

Of course you are, how silly of me to ask!

You going to be doing a staggered hatch again, since you're participating in the New Years Hatch?

Incubating Update:

Today was day 9 and I could not wait any longer, the suspense was killing me. Out of 16 eggs, I have 4 developing, 2 that looked like they tried but stopped and 10 clears.

I lost power for a few hours a couple days into incubating, not sure if it impacted the babies.

Come on 4 that are developing!! I want icelandic babies so bad.

We are really cold here in Phoenix. It got down to 33 degress at my home. That is chillin'!

I shant complain, we wish for this kind of weather for most of the year.

10 clears is definitely not good! I am so curious to find out what everyone else gets. My fertility rate on the same eggs has been 60% and hatch rates almost 100%. Would you like me to send you more eggs so you could try again? I'd eb happy to do that.
