I decided to do one final hatch-along for the summer! Hubby was more than supportive of me turning my half of our gaming room into an "incubation station" and there was a deal for 48 eggs for $47, so I decided to jump on it! 🤭 It ended up including purebred Ameraucana and we even got an unexpected Liege Fighter in there! (And lots and lots of brown Leghorns!) Two were cracked during transit, so I wound up with a still whopping 46. No complaints! I also got some frizzle-chance Buff Laced Polish for our son and Ayam Cemani eggs for hubby. (He really enjoys the look of the "gothic chickens" and our son wants a chance at frizzle Buff Laced Polish) so I'm including those even though they were set today.

If you'd like, claim an egg to cheer on (or two or three! There's a lot. 🤣) and give it a nature themed name! Names like: Tiger, Hyacinth, Plateau, Bumblebee, Iceberg, you name it! Anything from geography to types of animals, kinds of plants/flowers/trees, etc. We plan to keep these names for them permanently, just like our dessert hatch-along. 🥰 I felt the summer is the perfect time to appreciate all things nature. It has been such motivation to have people cheering with me on my others, so definitely wanted to do a hatch-along for these babies!

Green dot eggs will go into lockdown on 8/3 and (hopefully) hatch 8/6.
Pink dot eggs will go into lockdown on 8/5 and (hopefully) hatch 8/8.

Right?! So many! Hubby saw me eyeing them and was like “That’s pretty much only $1 an egg… That’s a really good deal.” Say no more. 😂 I asked “what if somehow most hatch?” He shrugged and said “heading to Home Depot for more wood. Guess we need another coop just in case, be back later.” :gig

I’ll mark you down! Love those names. 💙🥰

Just in case.... 🤣🤣🤣

At least he's planning ahead, may as well build a bachelor pad too - just in case... 😉🤣

We actually do want to! Haha. It was his idea to boot! We were thinking it would be good for genetic diversity to swap out breeding roos, or in case any tend to hatch unhealthy chicks often but are good roos, we wouldn't have to process/rehome. And just because he thinks roos are so pretty. (He isn't wrong!) 🤣
