Laree!!!!!!! Welcome back!

Still trying to set up some more eggs....

To quote the entry form:

How many eggs will be set, TOTAL? * 1 billion.

Laree! Ever the optimist! We really would populate the world with chicklets!

Okay so I just have to chime in with excitement -

This Easter hatch I'll be setting some special EE eggs, already got some in the incubator right now due to hatch Valentine's day, but, before I set them I auctioned and sold a dozen to someone out of state. The results would end up anything from wheaten, brown-red, laced, spangled, mottled, tolbunt, to even buff colored EE's but, I just have to say, -



Check it out! A nearly tolbunt colored EE! This little adorable chick hatched from a batch I sold to Lagunitas and I'm in love. I'll be expecting some myself in a week, then some more on Easter but in the mean time I love seeing hers. The chocolate coloration seen there is either poor lacing or a sort of EE partridgey type coloration, the white splashes up the face and breast and thighs are the mottling.

Here's a Tolbunt Polish chick for comparison:



More white (though less desired) and lighter brown main body showing better true lacing.


Just had to share the excitement, as the color of these chicks is soo cute, and I should expect to have quite a few this Valentine's and Easter.

Laree, Can we go in and edit our entry with total eggs set later or should we wait until set day to fill it out?

I can change it later if need be. Or you can fill it out again and I will delete the first one. Or...you get the idea. PM me if you need a change.

 

[LarryPQ]

OMG I would faint if I had a tolblunt EE.

Not that I need any more chickens.

 

[LeasureChix]

I'm in.
