Mine seem to be adding up. I wonder how many babies the broodies will hatch before Easter.

I always hatched my buttons in a chicken egg carton on their sides, but have hatched in quail cartons to.

I prefer to hatch in chicken egg cartons so once they hatch they can't get into trouble!!

That's what they're in and the egg is zipping!

It's the only blue one I have. The rest are the regular splotchy browie ones. LOL

I hope the carton keeps them on one place for a while.

They're due the 1st! Early April Fools!

This is good though since I have a hatch due the 3rd too. LOL​

How old are they? Have you trimmed the feathers around their vents? Orps are fluffy enough to usually need that I believe.

I am just hoping my eggs are fertile. I'm setting everything that's been laid and I will still just scrape in with 20 eggs. (I hope, need an egg each day at least

) I'll be sad if they aren't fertile, I want some babies.

I really want my precious shamo and silkie eggs to hatch, but the prize of doing a bad job hatching is tempting to ruin my hatch!!! LOL

Went out to check the coops and Kayla found a BCM egg on the patio. What's going on with my birds? Either they jam into one box or they lay all over the place.

But I'm up to 9 eggs and 2 days to go. Three if they lay early enough.

And my little quail is almost completely zipped! One or two more pecks.

You could always contact the members who's eggs you want. Maybe they can trade you some later.

Monday I found out that Wayne's eggs were on the way. Today I got a call from Jean that her eggs went out and today I got some eggs. As I unwrapped them I noticed they were not blue, thinking they were Wayne's eggs, but brown. I looked at the return address and they were the Buckeye eggs from jenjscott!!

Thanks Jen!!

They are not part of the Easter hatch but I candled the Icelandics in the bator and I have 14 developing, there were 2 clears and 1 blood ring. I think they are doing pretty well for shipped eggs. Only 15 days to go till I can see what colors I get
