Little less than an hour and a half to go. I'm upset that the blues and greens weren't showing up well. They look so washed out and I was so happy with them. Well most anyway.

But to have an egg color assortment like that eventually is my dream!! Wow Those eggs are gorgeous! Congrats!

I set one lonely call duck egg last week, then 10 serama, 1 d'uccle, 2 goose, and 8 duck eggs today. Although the ducks and geese will be a bit late, so guess my total is 12 for the hatchalong.

I'll get pics tonight, once the little one's are in bed and i have time to mess with the camera, lol.


edited to add pic, sorry it isn't better, the turkey eggs in there are on lockdown so I was trying to hurry and snap the pic and shut the lid.

Count me in!!! I put 24 mutt eggs in the Bator at noon today. Hope it is better than last time. Out of 24 eggs only got 13 chicks. A lot of them were not fertile. Kids will be excited for hatch on Easter. Will post photo tonight after I get done building my coop extension out of pallets. (got to put these chicks somewhere)
