there is a sample page and a workbook page

I suggest you save original and then hit "save as" a new file with your name and data

Thanks!

hope you used a different color for each girl... a friend did that a while back, used the same color. I asked her, so how do you know who's NOT laying, if all the eggs have color?

the look on her face was priceless.

That's hilarious!! Total "Duh" moment. Lol I have plenty of those, but yes, I used different colors. Lol Each chicken has a different color band, & I matched that color.

I have my 1st pip of this hatch, like 48 hrs early!! Makes me nervous! And I haven't even set up a 2nd brooder for them! Oops!

Sounds like a new way to make Easter eggs! LOL

I have an egg I noticed pipped like 10 hours ago and its has made ZERO progress since then. Had another pipped that I saw this morning, and its made a hole big enough I can see the chick. How long do I wait before I should assist the no progress one? I'm afraid to open the bator when I have another small pip too.

I just received my shipped eggs!! All 24 made it from Indiana without the smallest crack! I have them resting right now and the incubator is waiting. These will be lavendar orpingtons and buff laced brahmas.

Wow! Let me know how the buff laced brahmas do - I don't have that color yet. Where did you get them?
