The 5th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

Today My Baby Boy Christian turns 10. Why are they all growing up??

​

My baby boy Christian turned 18 in November and is graduating this year. I don't know where the time went because it seems like yesterday he was a 10 year old in a pumpkin patch ;p

Would today be a good day to let my family and friends know how many eggs I have in the incubator? That way they think I'm joking but when they hatch they can't say I didn't tell them!

No one could fault you for that. You can't help that it just so happens to be April Fool's Day!

Good Morning!


At the bird feeder this morning:

Beautiful! I assume this is a pet?

I I have set 25 coturnix eggs today

I think my eggs are fried. And not in the good way. My incubator has been running a little hot, and I've been doing my best to turn it down a little at a time. When I got home yesterday, it had shot up to 105 and who knows how long it was like that??? It was also our first 70 degree day -- and after a 35 degree night. I set the eggs early Saturday morning. If I candle them will it show if they're goners?

I wouldn't give up on them yet even if candling doesn't look good.

Reading this may help.

I have a very difficult time candling my eggs so I don't give up on them unless they leak or stink.

Yes, we hatched them last year.

Surely this is a joke? Didn't someone get the memo that this is sunny CA? We are supposed to be 80 degrees by the end of the week, but this morning, we have this.

I won't give up, but it's definitely frustrating. Hopefully somebody was in a cooler spot...

Walking in a winter wonderland. Very pretty.

Pretty wintery weather is so much easier to appreciate at a distance! The folks at work believe if I take a week of vacation off it causes snow storms locally, maybe this is that storm moving towards Kansas to arrive in time?
