I gleefully woke up this morning... It's egg setting day! (for the 3rd Annual New Year's Day Hatch contest, we all set our eggs at noon and cross our fingers)

I went out to the casita (unheated guest room) to fetch the Marans and Faverolle eggs that have been in storage to bring them into the main house for pre-set warm-up to room temperature. I've got a big ol' smile on my face as it's like Christmas morning (....VH1 booming voiceover) "And then tragedy struck...." I must've been grasping the cartons a little too hard because I felt and heard the *crunch* of a Marans shell under my finger. "Awwwww.... @#$*^!" What to do??? I had already submitted my egg set tally for the contest and I was now decidedly short and egg without a laying hen in sight. (Hmmm... Something about counting one's chickens before they hatch.....or even before they're set.) And then I had an "Aha!" moment.... Have no fear; TJ's is near! A scant 15 minutes later I was digging through the Trader Joe's egg shelf for the freshest of the fertile eggs.

I bought the carton, brought it home, did the eenie-meenie-minie-mo on which was the lucky egg and set it in the pre-set prep carton. About this time my DH walks in and I tell him my tale of misadventure. He named the egg "Token." Not very PC, I know, but then we watch a lot of "South Park." And, no doubt, if the egg hatches that name will stick. Well, at least it's getting DH to participate in my hatching folly.....

It didn't stop there.... The incubator is now referred to as "The bus."

I've now told my husband that he is under threat of censorship via duct tape if he continues much more. Something tells me this could be a long three weeks..... And, then again, it could be the beginning of a cute eggcentric children's book....

I just heard there's a fire in Red Rock, not sure where it is but hoping all is well with everyone there.

Ya Genny was just telling me about it but I can't see it from here.

 

[sherylreno]

John just said nothing is in the way of it so let's hope that remains to be the case.

Not sure exactly what all she has. You can pm her. I know she has those adorable little Mille Fluer(sp?) Cochins but she also has others. She has some Large Fowl, orps mostly but I know you want bantams only. You'll just have to ask her what all she has. She is HorseFeatherzNV in this thread. Just click on "PM" under her name.

Hey there fellow Nevadans. I posted a free roo on here a few hundred thread pages back. Ron mentioned he would like him, but has not responded to my last couple of pm's. If anyone knows how to contact him other than BYC that would be great. And just in case he is no longer interested I thought I'd post a few more pics taken today. Plus is there ever such a thing as too many pics.

Thanks -Ed
