She's picking up a trio and a weeks worth of fertile eggs, right?

but by getting pullets she'd be that much closer to hatching even more!

I feel like I'm watching a really really intense chicken tennis match! It's wonderful!!!!! (figuring out how far it would be to drive from California to VA..... Haaaa Haaaa!)

So found a pullet in a snake this morning and now I get to hatch some more EE

1 = 18 eggs in the bator pretty good huh? I had someone order some NH and hubby said that was fine to toss some EE in to replace that pullet. I don't seem to have many EE for some reason. I know I had one batch that didn't hatch well. I just didn't set many I don't guess.

BTW I was willing to drive from FL to TN with a Blue Rock roo.....it fell though

GO CHICKIES! My NEXT to last hatch

will go into lockdown Wednesday.

Yay yay yaaaay! My (supposedly) last hatch will go into lockdown on Thursday and with any luck the temp will keep us watching for a day or two. Not like the last two that popped like popcorn for the first 12 hours of lockdown!

I am giving up on the Little Giant incubators. My first batch - not one hatched. Second batch - the darn incubator keeps spiking temps off and on. I gave up and ordered a Brinsea Octagon 20 ex yesterday. I'm so disappointed.

Use your lg as a hatcher so you can keep adding eggs to the incubator!

What do ya think? these may the the fluffiest things I've ever seen. Ummmmm, have never been a big "silkie" fan, but oh my word. Yiiiikes. The Partridge is gorgeous, but no pouf? Only one of them really has a pouf.

Well I still have the borrowed Sportsman. I borrowed it when an ebay shipment of eggs came in 2 wks early and I didn't have room, I was already going to be stacking. I figured since it is here I should put it to good use. Besides I needed to replace all the eggs that were in there during the storm/power outage. So I ordered replacement eggs, they are all in there. I am waiting on a variety shipment, and I am supposed to be finished for the year. But I noticed that a couple of my EE are laying a very nice BLUE egg, so I collected them and put 9 in the bator today, I added 6 nice large eggs from the free ranging flock, I always need nice large egg layers. But I have not ordered anything new
A friend called and asked if I had a couple of extra roos

, in various sizes. She wants them for snake food, I have several older 3-5 mo olds but she said she needed smaller ones too, like as soon as I can tell they are roos and I don't need them. I looked in the brooder and I cant seem to tell if there are any SBEL roos, they all look the same to me. The 2 black BLRW are looking like roos and I already have a nice blue roo, I need pullets!

I may need to find some and try again
