Hi Everyone!


Vicki~ Thank you and you are the best!

Roberta~ Thank you too lady...this the best group of folks ever around here!

Debbi~ TONS AND TONS of good hatching luck coming to you for these eggies!!!

Vicki~ Nothing going on in my 'bator until Monday or so. Congrats on your little surprizes so far.


Donna~ Congrats on the babies and sorry for the ones that didn't do anything. BUMMER! Yesterday I tossed 10 beautiful eggies from my 'bator as well that were all clear. They were all mixers from the laying flock but still bummed about it. We had had a cold snap for a few days when I collected these eggs so the cold must have got to them I'm thinking. I'm going to take a whole load of eggs out of the fridge and bring them up to temp and toss them in the 'bator in a couple days. I love trying to hatch out fridge babies! People just can't get over it when they find out that eggs from the fridge can be hatched. Will be fun to see what kind of a mix of chicks I get. Of course they will all be part Marans but that's okay for just barnyarders.

Thanks Kim! Good luck with your hatch too!!

No problem Kim! I know how it is and its the least I can do!

I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see who these little turds hiding in the shells are! That little one I have so far is just a lovely shade of blue! I can't wait to hear how it goes with your hatch. Its gonna be a baby chicky picture paradise here in a couple of days with everyone's chicks hatching out!

Sorry if it seems that I am repeating myself in posts...but I start to type a response while reading back through the thread and then the dang page disappears and so does my post I started. Maybe it's just me and I am not very user friendly this morning.
