Hi, Jayson...
What day are the first group of eggs supposed to hatch?

Did any of mine break or have shipping issues (the Arizona dozen...?)

 

[MarineCorpFarmr]

Feb 1st if my days are correct.
Were yours the ones in wood shavings?

So jealous! I must admit that I'm itching to hatch, but I'm smacking my own fingers.....I need to wait 'till The Easter Hatch-A-Long. Last night at the chicken get together someone brought Heritage Delaware Eggs as a door prize. I wanted them so badly, but in the end I'm glad I didn't win them, lol! Must Wait, Must Wait!!

Nope, mine were wrapped individually in small bubble wrap, with a few big huge bubbles on one side and also some white styrofoam rectangles on the other sides. It had up arrows written on the outside. Oh...and I closed the box with angry bird duck tape

(as a warning to the USPS...) There were 3 greens and 9 browns.

I am RIGHT THERE with you!!! I was actually considering putting some of our eggs in the bator today. The bator that I just cleaned and put away. The bator that if my dh walks in from work at 2am and sees filled with eggs he would surely strangle me in my sleep with my pillow...or a chicken possibly.

My poor, poor husband just finished my 8x8x5 wooden brooder on wheels and he thinks he is done building chicken things forever.

Just today I was walking around the chicken yard thinking...hmmm...the Easter hatch-a-long was going to be my 3rd and final coop/run. But now I want to put Rhodebars in there...or something auto-sexing so I can sell eggs/chicks to help pay for feed. Then I need a FOURTH coop/run because I NEED some more variety in our egg basket. Because green, blue, brown, tinted, speckled brown, and Marans eggs are just not enough...I must have some OEs in there...and some other shades of brown...and then a banty flock...and then I can sell MORE eggs for eating...and so I have more money for more coops...so I can fill up more than a corner of our 1.25 acre...ARRRGGGGHHHHHH!!! Does it EVER END???
