bummer
I shipped 14 eggs today. was going to send 16 but was out of the large bubble wrap I usually use to line the box around my bubble wrap pouches.
SO i put 14 in a box inside another box with small bubble around it.
I am trading Crele eggs for black penedesenca eggs




I filled the spaces with pieces of small bubble in between the eggs
this small box fit in the other box with bubble

I love, love, the box inside the box! Nice job!

[COLOR=0000FF]OH My goodness!!  Coffee through the nose!  Good to hear the boys went somewhere nice, but stew pot works too...I eat chicken almost every day...  had some this morning already.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=0000FF]SALLY!!!  That incubator!!  When I grow up, I wanna be you.[/COLOR]

What kind of chicken did you cook up this morn?

I have a home grown chicken in the crock pot slow cooking in carribean jerk marinade right now  Ill eat it over Jasmine rice for dinner. 

Wow! That sounds delicious! I didn't cook any chicken today...just warmed up some leftovers, felt like a little protein this morning, but wanted to keep working, so leftovers seemed the way to go.

Count me in! I'll be setting that weekend, anyway, so may as well joint along.

I'll have Iowa Blues and some IB crosses. Hatcher and Incubators are fired up and doing pretty well thus far, here's to a good hatch for everyone!

Good luck to you too!

Holy moly! I'm going to have to do better at keeping up with my post-reading. I slack off for a couple days and I'm 9,999 posts behind!

I'm on Day 12 on the batch I have cooking right now. Candled over the weekend and removed 5 clears, so we are expecting 36 new babies soon! P.S. My hubby still hasn't done the head count on new chicks. I gonna keep hatching til he notices

I WANT HIM TOO! what breed!?!?!?!?

Spectacular! What breed? I didn't know you could have laced and barring going at the same time! And is that a chocolate gene too!

Thank you. He is a mix.
Here is a pic of his parents. The hen is all black with clean legs. Only two roosters turned out with the lacing and barred. The rest were either all black or look like a barred rock.
