**** Got my eggs from Justacouplemorechicks a minute or 4 ago

Woohoo!!! I was wondering about the eggs... My momma went to the post office for me & forgot to get me the delivery confirmation... so I had no idea WHERE those eggs were. Good luck!!

This is what is hataching from the swap eggs. I got quail from 4 people so I can't say who they came from but there are moe than whats pictured. They're in a 20 gal aquarium. The ones with dark down on their bodies and yellow on their faces are so pretty. I've never had any that color as chicks before. Does anybody know? The little striped ones are Jumbo brown or Pharoh and the little yellow one is either a golden or a&m. There are still more hatching. Half of the bator are from the first batch which these are from. I have more in another bator that are from my birds and i'm getting better hatch rate from the new blood than from my own. And the ones in the "new blood" bator had a huge temp spike of 107 and they're still doing well.

I am a bit more crazy. I write a set date, a hatch #, then a abbreviation for breed. Then I have a log book and a calendar. In the log book I write down :
Hatch#, Breed, # of eggs set, date set, date to hatch, how many hatched, how many did not, temps during incubation, humidity during hatch, home eggs or who they came from. If they are shipped eggs I write down outside temps the day I received them, and how many days in transit.
Calendar just has days marked with "Candle Hatch #13", "Lock down #13", and "Hatch Day #13" etc.

I also know how much it costs me to run my incubators, monthly......

I showed your post to hubby and he busted out laughing and said....'You found someone just as obsessed with meticulous details as you are!! Does she live close to us, maybe you can trade secrets!!'

BAHAHAHAHA!!! IT'S SOOOO NICE NOT TO BE ALONE!!!

Whoot! I'm glad I am not alone!!! I am really OCD, truth be told. I drive everyone nuts with my need to do things just so.

I have plans for a dry erase board for hatched chicks and bands to color co-ordinate them all by age or hatch#.

Happy hatching-sorry it took so long-the turkeys are about done laying, I am thinking.

yup. but 1 or 2 from 4 isn't bad (not counting squashed eggs). you packaged them well, it's the PO that scrambled them. don't feel bad. i'll be delighted to have 1 hatch. 8)
