Well actually 2, but one was in the swimming pool so I didn't see it until this morning and it's broke

But I can see it's fertilized so that's nice to check anyhoo...
But there was another one from today in their house!
I was just telling DH that she looked "hen-ish", her butt dropped down and you could see her little pooper where as usually it's covered up...guess I call-ed it!

We are making an incubator today...i wanted to start with plain old chicken eggs, but I guess we won't have time

Unless someone wants to drive out here next weekend for some Snowy Call eggs...

Broken one from the pool...

In a teaspoon for scale...

With a large hen's egg...(It's big for a first egg!)

I was so happy Courage, our drake, just started doing his job about 2 weeks ago. Plus the girls hump each other??? so I was hoping he actually mated with both of them

We put together the basics of the incubator today, and we'll go out tomorrow for the things i forgot...the fan isn't hooked up yet, but I'm letting it run w/o it to try to get the thermostat in the right ballpark at least.
Oh and about tilting the eggs before incubating them...is 3 times good like while incubating?
