USPS tracking says my eggs are at the local hub post office, so they'll be delivered tomorrow. I'll be setting them Saturday morning, so a March 5th hatch. There should be 18 OE & Marans eggs. Next Month is going to be Barnevelder eggs!

OK why can I picture you deconstructing your cabinet doors to put chicken wire on the fronts to have different compartments for growing out chicks until they are big enough to go into the "ginormous brooder" outside? Oh yeah, I can so see this in my head!

Glad i am not the only first time hatcher here as i may be bugging some of the more experienced folks - Japanese and Dutch bantams from my friend and "trying " some shipped Serama eggs - iknow i know - worth a shot tho!

Hey, I live north of Covington in Bush...everyone around here seems to know it as the place where the House of Seafood is located. We also are about 25 minutes from Slidell up 41: It is nice to know a fellow BYC'er is in the neighborhood. My husband and I drove over to Bay St. Louis after Katrina and that entire area was completely devestated: I had never seen anything like it...even the lower 9th ward didn't compare. Did you live there then?

Anyway, yes, it is David. I have been emailing him...it is easier for me since I have lousy cell and home phone service. I'll PM you his phone and email in a few minutes. It is closer for us to go through Poplarville...is that a bad idea? We don't mind bumpy back roads (never know what you will find), but if their is some reason we should avoid this route, please let me know.
 
Ok, I did it! Set my first eggs, 21 Silkies, the breeder very nicely wrote on them what colors they should be, so I should have a nice mix. Now to keep the temp and humidity right, I am a freak that way...thank goodness this bator has an auto turner and a fan! I need my own, this is too much fun.
