Well, whip up a home made one!

I simply don't have the time... and if one came in the mail....

Simple solution ...... send it to the office!

 

[Mahonri]

Thought about putting one in the office but... nah... chickens in a dental office?.... can't do it.

It doesn't have to STAY there, just be delivered there, silly! Surely you can spirit it home better than the obvious USPS arrival!

WHAT???? Not chickens in a dental office..... NO, no, no ...... EGGS in a dental office!

Picturing Mahonri frantically racing between home and office, not sure which incubator to cluck over at hatch time.

You need to get a broody hen on standby. I have one right now sitting on golfballs. She is serious and is totally going to be my overflow incubator for the Easter Hatch. I will be stacking some eggs of course but I still think I have a few too many eggs coming ( even with my staking abilities) . I am hoping the broody will help me out until day 7 candling and then I can weed out a few eggs.

 

[Mahonri]

I have a broody on 10 eggs now and another that's acting like she wants to go broody.....

She may have to be my back up.

I only got 2, I repeat TWO eggs today... This after a dozen a day for a week or so.

I'm watching what are supposed to be lavender Orps hatch. One's out and appears blue, which I assume is normal for a wet lav hatchling? Another is completely zipped, but hasn't popped the top; the down I see is bright yellow. Can't be lav can it?

Waiting to get a pic, but need to get up early so may be tomoorrow.

You may have a "mottled" ..... either Lavender or black!
The down will be yellow and you will see a little bit of black or a little bit of Lavender.
