Please focus on the gosling and not the beer bottles in the background!

So since I am such an impatient girl waiting forward to my 'Christmas' in October, I am going to just use this time and construct my girls their own coop since I don't feel safe adding them to my standard girls and their already established flock.. :| *this will also give me more room to add more bantams to my newest coop later on- MEANING MORE HATCHINGS ARE IN MY FUTURE*

Been doodling out my 'A' frame plans all day now, and going to Lowes in an hour.

BUT YEYEYE, when I candled the eggs today- I saw MOVEMENT!

Hehe, yeah! That is me. I have to tell myself- NOPE or else I would find myself risking the future babies for the sake of being awestruck. Are you hatching the goslings?
