I'm home! I'm home!


Bator was at 103. No idea how long it was like that. Humidity was 26. Now idea on that either. I'll candle tonight. Lockdown tomorrow!

So how was your cruise? Happy Anniversary! 
Hope the bator was only there for a little while 
were you thinking about the chicks the entire time or did you relax at all??  

Thanks! Cruise was EXCELLENT. A must-do for everyone. Our next one is already booked.

I got worried about the eggs (and rest of the farm) a few times, but I was in Cozumel and Belize and Roatan, so what was I going to do about it?? Belly up and have another piña colada, that's what.

Hey fellow chicken lovers. I have Copper Maran chickens in the incubator. I ordered Araucana hatching eggs at the same time and I'm disappointed that they haven't arrived yet. They were due to arrive last Wednesday avow is Saturday and they were laid 11 days ago. So maybe I won't have blue eggs this year but I'm excited about the prospect of getting copper/brown eggs this year.

Yayyy!! Love Copper Marans!! Good Luck! Tons of information and helpful people here for you! Make dure you check out the contests too!

Just a smidge. I'm a freak about sunscreen. But I'm definitely a bit sun kissed.

So how many did you buy?

So how many did you buy?

None.... Though I am considering just putting a partition in and hatching a week apart and putting in a liner so I can quickly clean out the half with chook eggs. Sally, talk me out of this!!!

(Oh.... I'm starting on the bator today, so as soon as my neighbor has FRESH duck eggs and I got a coop.... Well...)

More NNs! There are still 4-5 in the bator- along with various mutts, White Plymouths, and Erminett type EEs (from the BYC 24 hr auction).
My coworker has various breeds/types free ranging on her ranch, so I never know what I'll get.

Two babies out. This last one's egg was marked, red cl..what in the heck does that stand for? Most are Orpington eggs, but, there is the Bielefelder, and the Barnie's too. This baby did not hatch red. It's going to be white. ??
