SEPTEMBER EGG SWAP . . . . . . October Swap starting soon!!!!!

[elieugene6]

Lol, yeah I am waiting not so patiently. I gave in and candled some of the eggs I set in the bator. I only did 4 of them, I use a spotlight covered by a cereal box with toilet paper tube attatched to candle so really bright. All 4 are developing

so now I know for sure that the ones I sent out were nice and fertile. I collected the ones I set right before the ones I sent out. Now I can be a little more patient about candling at 7 days. Since this is first time in my new homemade bator I was worried even though temp has stayed between 99 and 100.2 the whole time in my water wiggler (which I think might not have enough stuff in it, I used a plastic egg w/hair gel but ran outta gel when 3/4 full).


As to the person sending out my eggs at least let me know who you are, pretty please!!!

Yes, It is a long time but I ended up joining the swap 5 times so I could try to get everybody what they wanted so I need extra time.

Well they went out for delivery....hope they set them in the shade. I've got a truck and trailer load of hay coming at lunch so I have work to get done they gave me no warning and I have to clear out a place for the one squeeze that doesn't fit in the barn...and I have plywood out that I was going to paint to finish up my chicken castle maybe I can get it painted before they come......

My deck is under a huge oak tree so my eggs should be fine unless the tree falls!! haha! then I wont be worried about eggs! huh!
Randy will be home at lunch and he will take them in!! I just hate not being there to unpacked them and get everything ready to go into the incubator. I was late getting home last night and didn't get the eggs that came yesterday in the bator! Oh well, hopefully I will get them all in the bator tonight.

I got my eggs... From you, I'm assuming!

They all arrived looking good except the dark brown egg in the corner of the pad.

It's smashed good. All the rest look good. The packing was superb! Looking forward to getting them set!

That's great now I'm still waiting for mine and I still haven't learned much patience..didn't get my wood painted either @ 3 it was pretty hot and I'm going riding tomorrow at Rinconada so I guess Saturday I'm painting because Sunday we need to get those laying boxes in I'm tired of crawling around to get them.......these babies are starting to lay pretty good only 20 weeks and big ole Delaware eggs.
