Okay, I am about to brave the rain (YES!! Rain! We soooooo need it after this long drought!) to go down to my basement to set the eggs. I thought I'd set some eggs a few days ago that I got from a fabulous trade with TheBirdGuy, but it turns out I had unplugged the incubator, so they sat there patiently waiting for me...

So, I am setting:

12 Icelandics
2 Lemon Cuckoo English Orps
20 Isabel Orps
3 Partridge Chanteclers
9 secret Chocolate Project
16 Auratas (it's a code name for now)
4 SoAms
7 Chocolate/Blue/Mauve/etc Ameraucana Project
17 FBCMs
1 d'Uccle
7 B/B/S/Mottled banty Cochins
12 Konza Prairie Rangers
2 Chocolate Ameraucanas
11 Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas
7 Black Turkeys

Someone help me- that's 147, right?

At 1:30 EST I set 10 Lavender/Split Ameraucana eggs and 18 of a mix of EE and OE eggs. Still waiting on a small group of Orpington eggs that the PO somehow lost!

I was livid yesterday as my hatching eggs that were sent from CA sat in Charlotte NC for THREE days before coming to me. I am in Asheville on the west end of NC and Charlotte is on the east side. EVERY time I get hatching eggs this happens. They must be taking long naps in Charlotte.

I set 41 eggs. 13 from the swap. And the rest from my own flock.
