bye back to work One crazy chicken lady I have to be out of my mind.

I set 51 bantam Polish, 15 Tolbunt Polish, 2 Nankins, 3 bantam Cochins, 18 Olive Eggers (89 eggs total). I am hatching in a Sportsman 1502.
Set at 1:15 PM (I wasn't home at noon)

Since the eggs aren't pretty I will show you what I'm hatching.

Bantam Polish:





Tolbunt Polish


Cochins


OE's

Nankins (our rooster went trick or treating with us)

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?

You're kiddng right?? I tried no less than 10 times in the middle of the night, with a calculator!!! I got a different number every time. Literally had to count them all and then did it again. Can't believe I was better than the calculater, but it's pretty easy when you add by 1. LOL

OMG!! I kept getting 128 on mine and now yours!

 

[wolftracks]

Now I see 113............Maybe someone should count MY eggs! BTW I didn't have one of them in the pic.

Question of the day. Some peeps are doing a little private eye work on the matter. If she doesn't emerge soon, we may have to send in the FBI (Friendly BYC Investigators).

Lol! I'm sure she'll turn up.

 

[wolftracks]

OH crap!!!!!!!!!!! I think I set 211!!!!!!!!!! Did I mess up??? Now I'm back to counting again! OMG!!!!!!!!!

I was looking at my post from earlier, and it didn't add up. Looked closer at pic and there were only 6 Sulmtaler eggs that I set today in the pic. Where is that 7th egg?

still in the shipping box...ugh! I just put Sulmtaler missing egg "number 34" in the incubator at 5:00 pm CST and rearranged the last row.

Number 1-15 was set Thursday.
Number 16-33 set at noon CST today. Come on Cream Legbars and Sulmtalers

Hi official Easter hatchers,
Like a few others I'm also getting a late start, but will set before the day ends. Like some others, I'd like to know if I'm in this or out, but still will enjoy everyone else's hatch and do my own, no matter. Please give a cutoff date/time.
Happy Hatching! Cheers!
PS: Had to flip the cream legbar eggs small end up for photo. I collect and date the other side.

I set 141 eggs not 151. Sorry, but Renee was having a hard time , so when I couldn't get her eggs counted right I decied I better check my own..
