Ok, Silkies out of the hatcher and headed for the brooder. The box they are in is just holding and moving, it is not the brooder. 26 for 28 on these.

Ohhh my goodness!!! I want!!!!
Had a visitor in the shop this morning. Meet Fluff, he is a gimp silkie roo. Hes got a bad wing and has had since the day he was born. Fluff lives a life of luxury with our free range layers for egg production. He likes to pop in the shop and say hi every now and again. He is one of my wifes favorites.

Do it!My eggs are an hour and ten minutes drive away, I think I will go pick them up instead of her suggested shipping, that would be shhhtupid eh? its through Amish country anyways, if I dont hit a horse and buggy and make omlets I should be ok.
I think everyone is out to push my jealous button! Your eggs are just beautiful!

Maybe Fluff goes in there looking for small snakes?

That's an awesome amount of restraint you're showing.![]()
I've never been one to hover over the incubator, watched kettles and all. I'm working in the yard. I'll see what's going on a little later this afternoon
I still enjoy watching, but I hatch so many times during the year that I've gotten where I would rather wait and be surprised. I'm one of those that doesn't take any out until the hatch is complete, so chances are I won't take them out of the incubator until late tomorrow night or Sunday morningThat's an awesome amount of restraint you're showing.![]()
I hope I'm that strong when Monday rolls around!![]()
