Ya , I got lucky I fixed her incubator and she gave me the eggs , I thought they were going to be Bcm eggs , but I just took what I could get , I've been trying to get eggs off her for a year Lol. They were all 6 or 7's in color and that was in Jan.

What a wild day here today! Got woken up at 3am with some horrible winds out of the south again. Amazing how quickly I can move even out of a dead sleep. It was 65*, so I expected some storms. Twenty minutes or so, and it was gone, but so were the 65*! Dropped down to 47* in about half and hour. Went back to bed, only to be awakened by one of the dogs needing to go at around 5am.

Came back and went back to bed...woke up again at 9:45. Still makes me feel guilty to sleep that late, but considering the interuptions, oh well! Went out to feed and let out the chooks, and it's sleeting like crazy! 72* yesterday, sleet/snow mix today.

On the good side, my Wynette eggs went into lockdown around 2pm, and I think I'm already seeing a few rockers! Nothing to perk up the spirits like new chicks coming!! Let's hope for a good, non-stormy weekend!! Oh yeh, and lots of chickies!

Neither look like pure Marans, though they are nice looking.
Are those fuzzy cheeks on the girl?
