Sounds great here too!

BTW...my daughter must have taken all my eggs, got an egg today but by the amount of feathers everywhere the other one is still moulting.

@Erba are you using Facebook? This just crossed my path and I thought that might help you find sussex breeders. https://www.facebook.com/groups/368345706522816/

 

[Erba]

Thank you, at least that is closer to home! And I found a Bruteierbörse there too. Never thought of looking on FB for that kind of thing.

You're welcome! There are also some chicken groups like Hühner Info on Facebook. You might find some breeders there as well.

So I candled my eggs this evening and all are developing according to plan. As I said this is the hen that I haven't had any chicks from yet and I'm really curious to see what kind of chicks I get. My little brown Sussex is lovely, but I am really hoping to get some light sussex pullets now.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!
Since I got my incubator I feel like I need to get some eggs and hatch some chicks. I got to try it out, don't I? The only thing that keeps me is my vacation that is coming up. And then I feel like it's too late in the year. Might as well wait until early spring. I'm all excited for you!!!

 

[Erba]

I feel for you! Such a cool incubator and you have to wait until spring. This is my last go for this year, and just squeezed it in for a beginning of October hatch and then I'm done. Will have to hide my incubators, in case I change my mind..lol

You two have got to stop it! Here I sit, reading about your joys and I can't join in on the fun and excitement!
It took to much convincing the wife to allow us the three we have, there is no way she will allow us to start breeding.

No really, continue please! I'll live my dreams through your breeding programs!
I just ask.....please post pics! Then I'll feel like I'm there with you!

Thanks @Erba... at least someone who feels for me!
