Quote: I went ahead and set mine tonight with the lets get this over with mentality. I have a few as bad as yours, 4 that look really good, and others that are so/so. I can't post the pic right now because of keeping set #'s under wraps but, when I'm allowed I'll show you mine.

Ummm, FYI: I said a lengthy prayer over my eggs before I put them in...Can't hurt, right?

I may have just bid on some eggs to add to my own for the Easter hatchalong...even though I don't need any other types of chickens...even though I've got plenty of chicks in the brooders...even though I had absolutely no reason whatsoever to buy eggs and don't need more chic....OOooo, look, EGGS!

x2, I'm praying for strength..Wednesday night I will go to The Mill for Chicks Night Out round 2. I think that I've decided I don't need anymore chicks this year. I want to concentrate on the ducklings that I'm hoping hatch, and the goslings I should be getting around Easter. I do not need more chicks. We'll see how my determination holds up on Wednesday though!

4 day old Lavs images just for you @Gardeningmama

Woman!! What are you trying to do to me??? Lol!

Sally has a nice camera too .. right? I need a good camera. Such nice crisp photos..and that black back ground. Love it.

x2.. I need a good camera, and a little black box, and chicks that will cooperate! I think it's Sally's magic touch...she is full of Sunshine, ya know...

Quote: Jealous! They are on my one day I wanna have list! In my dreams I have a big flight pen full of them on my massive farm, and don't forget the peacock that sits on top of my imaginary barn all day. It's a quiet peacock too.

I had 2 bbs marans hatch so far & 2 more pipped. I also have turkeys that weren't due until Wed that look to be internally pipped & anconas that look closer to the Wed hatch date. All were in the same bator & the marans are right on schedule so not sure what the deal is with the poults. The furst 1 I hatched was 3 days late, but was in a different batir that I think was running a bit lower.

Adorable little babies.

4 Brahma Babies! LOVE this image!

Look at those fuzzballs! What color variety are they?

Hey guys! I've been busy since yesterday morning! Just to update, I set 12 Narragansett and 4 Royal Palm eggs at 11:30pm last night. (Late I know). And today I have a broody Silkie who is setting yet another turkey egg and an EE/AM who I just gave 5 BLRW and 3 FBCM.

Yay!

And bummer on the non-cooperative Guineas.

@Wisher1000 I want you to know that I am officially using the "B" word! It has been over 48 hours and my girls is as grumpy and puffed up as ever. She has only been witnessed off the nest twice during that time period and when she does an excellent impression of a puffer fish.

She is a first timer so she is getting eggs from my CA Grey covered by either my Delaware or my New Hampshire. I know the NH mix will make a SL but want to check out the Del cross. Some Dorking eggs may sneak their way in but I want to see if those make SLs too so I am happy with whatever...now if only she hatches girls. Her mama has only hatched cockerels 5 for 5 and 3 for 3 in two clutches. I hatched this girl and she is the only remaining offspring of her daddy...the best rooster EVER! I am pretty excited.

I have some that are thinking about it, but not committed yet.

Quote: Totally jealous! What a score!

It's a quiet peacock too.

Welcome back to reality.

I do not need more chicks, I do not need more chicks, I do not need more chicks...

Those lavenders...I think I need some!
