I started in college when my oldest kids were little way back in 95' I only went part time and took a lot of long breaks between semesters. Finally finishing my degree May 14th I graduate.. I keep telling my hubby and kids they should buy me some hatching eggs for a graduation present ;)

I hope you get the eggs you want!
 
I'm glad you guys said it is ok to be crazy, cause here are my newest chicks as of a few minutes ago. I am now officially banning myself from the Rare bird Auction site. I am powerless over good deals and my life is unmanageable.

GCM's from @Moribus should start hatching today!


15 East Frisian Gull and 2 packing peanuts (probably Queen Silvia).




Hopefully Frisian Gull in Lemon and Gold


Packing peanut.

Peanut would make a great chicken name!
 
Sounds about right. I started out wanting 1 silkie and 4-5 colored egg layers. I put 19 silkies and 53 mixed colored egg layers in the bator. (White only silkies). Saw an ad on CL for silkies and got 7 mixed (blues, black, buff and splash). Same lady had 3 more black hatch this week and since we can only keep hens...picked them up to so as to increase our odds. So with clears and all, currently I have 10 live baby silkies and 47 viable eggs ready to go on lock down. Looks like we will be building a seperate silkie pen....

That sounds like SOOO much fun!!!!

I'm suppose to have chicks hatch today but I think my Hovobator killed them. The temp was great all up till lock down. I took out the turner and added water which ended up being too much. The temp spiked to 103 and humidity up to 69. I finally got the temp down and it went down to 96. I removed some water but haven't been able to get the humidity down more without removing it all. The temp is at 99. I have no pips and haven't heard any peeping. I'll leave them in a few more days in case all the instability slowed down their growth. Last time I almost gave up I had my best hatch I ever had in that bator.
