This has to be the best theme for names I’ve seen yet. I don’t want to fill up all the eggs so here’s a few for inspiration for other people to jump in:

• Staple That Refuses To Be Removed Correctly
• Hangnail
• Dead Battery In My Wireless Mouse
• Can’t Find The End Of The Tape
• Midnight Stubbed Toe On The Way To The Bathroom
• Hit That Same Pothole On The Way To Work For The Millionth Time
• This Meeting Could Have Been An Email
• Missed A Parenthesis Somewhere In A Long Excel Formula

All brought to you by this Monday morning.

We still have lots of eggs to name

Day 2, and all I'm doing so far is briefly popping the incubator open and manually turning my 2 backyard mix eggs that aren't upright in their individual egg hammocks.

I plan to candle on Thursday, Day 5. I'm feeling pretty pessimistic about this batch, despite trying not to.

Let's get settled and start growing inconvenience chicks!
go Shopping Cart with a squeaky wheel!

More suggestions -

• Catching all the traffic lights red.
• Plastic wrap that clings to everything except what you're trying to cover.
• Forgetting what I went into this room for...

I snuck a peek at a few of the eggs this morning, Day 3. My own eggs from my flock (#11 and #22) definitely have development. The other ones, I can't tell yet. My hopes aren't high

It's day 5 and I don't know about this one, y'all. my two backyard mix eggs, #11 and #22, have clear development. As for the other ones, they're a hot mess. I see the tiniest hint of veins in #6 and #20 but I can't quite tell what I'm looking at. The other ones, I just don't know

Hopefully more are developing and just hard to tell through the dark brown or olive shells.

Come on minor inconvenience chicks!
Keep rolling squeaky shopping cart!

I do see some veining on some of the shipped eggs, but nothing clear enough to determine viability for sure. I'm leaving most of them in for a few more days before making a decision.

I did pull #2 and #3, both Lavender Ameraucanas, because they appeared to be clears. I cracked them open and I was right.

I added 3 more of my own barnyard mix eggs in tonight for a staggered hatch, since it seems like my rooster is doing his job well. #11 and #22, my own flock's eggs, both have viable chicks.
