I seriously almost peed my pants when i went out to the coop this am. I was expecting to find very angry chickens since i wouldnt let them out yesterday. Instead i found 2 eggs!! 2 real honest to goodness eggs! I was so happy i could have kissed the chickens. But i think my wooping and yeehawing tipped them off because they all spread out to the far corners of the coop and gave me the evil eye. I skipped happily through knee deep snow back to the house and woke up the whole house to show them my treasures. The pre-teen girls were not impressed.

Good thing you didn't pee or else it would have frozen in seconds and you would have been hopping back through the snow with those eggs! I was glad to give away a few dozen here... but then learned that if I just warm up my eggs slowly I can incubate them. Incubator? Incubator?
I think I am going to try the hatcher and incubator method... after a little more reading.
I went to check on my flocksicles and they were fine... well, a little frostbite again on the male, but I really need to hear stories like Buckas about how they manage.
