Hi,

This is the second time in a few days I've noticed BC eggs shown with currency, does it help set the camera settings for more accurate color of the eggs?

I use it to give people a better idea of the color because most people can say "oh, that dollar bill looks pale so the egg must be paler then it is in real life."​

There are the "clean-legged", and the "feather-legged" I have a feather-legged black copper Marans, Maizie Mae.
Here are some of her eggs. Can you tell which are hers?

You know, at the last minute, I changed my mind and got this one. I hope I don't regret it.

The main reason why I did is because of the external parts on the Suro. I just wanted everything in one box. I could just see the cats grabbing the little tube and biting through it or trying to play with the rocking van or I could misplace the pump. So I got this one. But it is the 2009 model so it doesn't need any humidity sponges. Apparently you just put a little water in, set it and that's it, unless you want to use the manual mode and manipulate humidity during the incubation period. Which I expect I will try eventually with hatches in the future. With this first hatch, I think I will run it on auto and see how it does.

It is supposed to be very simple to use.

How's this for proving what color egg a chick comes out of?

Ione ..... That picture is just precious! It would make a great avatar! Love that dark egg! WOW!

Here are the 6 Wheaton Marans I hatched from berkeleysprings test eggs ... They are 24 days old. Can you sex them? Of course I do see a comb or two developing!
