I love it!
I stuck my fluffiest on a branch of my Christmas tree and took a pic

Yes my tree is still up. It should have came down already -usually it is put up around 15th and is taken down the 26th. Thought I would leave it up until Jan 1st this year since I put it up day after Thanksgiving - but I have been busy with hatching!​

Most Safeway stores sell fertile eggs.

I know where you can get a emu egg

Maybe at Trader Joe's ????

Or, at the Emu store????

Now how hard would it be to explain to the boyfriend (who is a very lovely, understanding, mild tempered man) that an emu egg just happened to show up in a dozen trader joe's eggs that I drove over 100 miles round trip to pick up and they all just happened to accidentally jump in my incubator...

I'll set some of my Marans, hopefully some Ameraucana x Marans for olive eggers for my layer pen, and some Trader Joes eggs for grins!

I know.

OMG one day I was helping my husband build pens and we here a cat strangling in the garage. Git in there and my BCN and Wheaten Marans looked at us like "what? I didn't do it" and then just started looking around like they wondered where the sound came from.

We cracked up.

You should hear my OEG roo crow. E EE EEEEEEEE!!!!! Soprano.

wolftracks

sounds like a few of my boys when they started crowing

Debi, oh yes, my WCB polish roo has the highest pitch crow

and he's oh so proud of it

It should be OK... I always wrap some with damp paper towel .... in a bit go back and check it - if blood is absorbed, pick some more shell and membrane away. It is very possible now for it to shrinkwrap. will need to keep an eye on it

it didn't appear to be shrinkwrapped. Do I need to spray it with warm water? Wrap it in a damp warm paper towel? Up the humidity in the incubator??

Ugh! I swore I wouldn't do this! Hands off, I said. Let it be.

Yeah, right.

And I can't stay awake much more than an hour or so. My sick DD hasn't given me much rest. Can I just leave it or will that kill it?!?

Me too . The nearest TJs for me would be Chicago or St Louis ; I'm not driving that far [ not saying I didn't think about it

I'm thinking about the Chinese NY Hatch ......................... if that breeding pen goes back to laying ................................ if a few are fertile ................................ hmmmmmmmm .

I believe I messed up bad this morning . I had two unpipped eggs left when I pulled the plug . I figured they had pipped internally and drowned . I did a eggopsy a little bit ago and found two perfect chicks , never internally pipped , one with just a little bit of yolk still unabsorbed . I think I should have left the bator plugged in another day
