BTW she was next door, no other hens can get there but one and I see 4 baby daddys in this hatch!

Good for you!!!!!! Thanks for the update

That's a lot of eggs!

Such fun to live vicariously through everyone else's hatches as well!

Whats really pitiful is that I am hand-turning 120+ eggs at least 3 times a day.

However, by doing so I can fit alot more in each bator without stacking.....yet.

 

[The Chickeneer]

Yes!

I have a broody now! Of course she can only hatch a few eggs....I gave her seven......but this leaves some very needed space in my bator for other eggs.

I received my first order of eggs today. Hopefully the rest show up tomorrow.

Mahonri, here are a couple of pictures of Dreki for you that I took this evening! It's my bedtime so I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning to see the his eggs arrived intact! Good night!

Oh my goodness. So after seeing how many eggs everyone is setting, I think we are definately going to break a world record on the number of eggs set! I am sure hatcheries dont set this many eggs in a day! Wowser!

I did get my eggs from Wolftracks today! YAY! And your egg project to get lavender eggs...they really are lavender. I tried to get a picture but it just doesn't capture it. How many people can say they have purple eggs!

Now if I can just get them hatch!!!

My icelandics have been stuck on the east coast for 2 days, has moved from one sorting facility to another....that is not boding well.

WHAT?! Lavendar eggs??? First it was Basque chickens and now lavendar eggs. You guys are killing me. I MUST HAVE LAVENDAR EGGS!!! After this hatch is over....that is.

As for me I generously received 12 surprise eggs from crazypetlady on Mon, because my turkey eggs fell through and Gabbard farms didn't think they could send the eggs till next week. I ended up ordering quail because I thought I wasn't going to have any but the 12 from crazypetlady, so thats 24. So then I ordered some seramas because I just realllllly want some seramas, from Bhep and she threw in some others which makes it 29 eggs. Gabbard Farms were able to send the eggs this week instead of next so I should be getting those on sat., , and someone on craigslist offered me a barnyard mix for $10 a dozen which I want maybe 2 dozen (as a control group). So pending none of them broke...I'm probably gonna set at least 100. Wow....what came first...the chicken math or the egg math????

I guess males are the same across the board. Human...chicken...doesn't matter, if its nice rear they're going to look.
