[beefy]

i know i just couldnt say no to Flo either. she has 4 eggs due in th enext day or two. crazy georgians hatching in fall...

I am 5 days from ending the hatching for the season and can't wait to put the incubators away. I thought I was done until DS got a pair of OE bantams and wanted some little ones. First batch of 3 eggs hatched yesterday and one is pipped. Next 3 due in 5 days. I'm feeling done until spring.

I know how you feel. I thought I was pretty well done too. Now I have a buff orp sitting on batch two in the last 4 months.

Yeah, well, you know...

And Day 21 is Sept 30. At least I know that Glenda wont be trying to lay eggs while also trying to grow feathers back from her molt. However, she wont be getting the protein she was getting, either, with her reduced food intake.

She looks like she could handle more than 7 eggs. If related to Suede she should be big enough for another dozen. Too bad I dont have any little eggs to send ya.

 

[speckledhen]

You're right about that, Dennis. I do believe she could handle a few more-she's one hefty girl, that Glenda. I just didn't have enough to give her this time around since I'm collecting BR eggs to send to someone plus my Orps are not laying much now due to their molt. One of these days, I may let you send me some guinea eggs, though.

That is, when I really need a challenge, LOL.

That pic makes it look like she has three legs... two gray ones and a yellow one in the middle... What the heck?!

 

[speckledhen]

Hehehe, she has yellow legs and black feathers down the outside of them. I think you're seeing the vertical line of feathers at the far left on that leg. On the right of the pic, you really just see the feathers. I didn't notice that, but you're right, it does look that way.

Oops, I miscounted. I have another BR egg under Glenda that I forgot about. Amanda laid her usual giant egg and I put it under a little while after the rest of them.
