Where Linda? I'm in the foothills!

One property is in River Pines, Amador County, and the other is in Outingdale, El Dorado County. Near Fairplay and Somerset. Up off County Rd E16 and State Route 49.

Neato! So you are heading up Hwy 50 vs 80. ChanceRider, the wonderful BYC'er from whom I got my adorable emus lives in Somerset. I never visited her place, we just met at the Feed Store in Shingle Springs to do business. It shaved an hour plus off my drive! Good luck with the search. There are some great deals to be had out there. Keep us posted!

I want to make a joke, but since I personally know the frustration of setting nonfertile eggs over, and over, and over again....................

SIX MONTHS ! ! ! ! I have been setting those eggs for 6 months! Not one single fertile egg!

Tomorrow is the day. I am gonna do it. I am gonna try artificial insemination.

Yikes, take pictures....

Did I just say that?

Are you starting to get anxious?

Yes I am the one who calms everybody else down and now I want some action!

Out of 39 eggs set I have:

23 out of 28 BLRW left
8 out of 9 Olive eggers
2 out of 2 Marans/ BLRW mix

No pips yet, nothing happening at all. These are all my own eggs so I'm not as worried as with shipped eggs. I can't believe how many of you already have chicks hatching!

 

[StormyMoon]

I am building a fire and going to dance around it doing the chicken pip dance

......so everyone's chickie babies pop out

 

[Cattitude]

I have 3 more babies, for a total of 27 so far. It's only day 22, and the eggs that are left are mostly the larger eggs.

Hoping for more fuzzy butts soon!

 

[SundownWaterfowl]

Out of 55 eggs, so far I have 23 chicks out.

 

[Ms.FuzzyButts]

I had 6 chicks out, 4 more pips and 2 zipping when I left for work this morning.... They must be hatching fast because they were afraid of getting mistaken for easter eggs and didn't want to be hidden!!!

So far, so good.

An Ameraucana is out, a bit of unabsorbed yolk visible, but hopfully not a problem. My divider did not fit for the egg varieties that were locked down, and I did not make another. The first blue/black Ameraucana has the proper white throat and chest down for my preferred genotype and easy to tell from the solid black Olive Egger, should be easy to band them as they come from the hatcher, and I'm relieved.
