Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

I need my "Toes in the water....***** in the sand.........Can Ratchet make me a pair of those?

I could probably arrange it.... I just threw these in the trash today.... LOL... And I think I will just keep my crazy pooch!

Ooooh chicks on the ground! I hope I get an early surprise, too. The suspense is killing me! Pics or it didn't happen!

I have no idea how I am going to narrow it down to just 4. Shockingly my hubby suggested last night we should keep 6

He is not usually one to bend the rules.

Still... It's hard to decide...do I want Marans? How many Ameracaunas should I keep? How many mystery chicks? I suppose if he lets me keep 6 I can keep 2 of each? That sounds interesting.... that doesn't explain what I will do with all the extras, particularly the fancy amerac's. I already have plans for the cockerels....

3 light brown, 1 dark brown eggs, all frizzled mixes. Probably barred rock frizzles

I set 19 of my eggs (all frizzled) to test fertility. 14 made it to lock down. 4 hatched. 3 zipping when I locked them down. I also have 18 frizzled ameraucaunas. 17 to lock down.

SBM, Congrats!

I can't believe I am sating this, but I got 19 eggs today!

I have not had that many in forever!! I swear it has been a year!!

 

[showbarnmom]

What are you keeping your humidity at for hatching? I'm terrified of my chicks making it all the way to lockdown and then dying because I got the humidity wrong...
