anyone know if any more contests are going up?
I donated a prize that's not up yet, so I hope so!

I hope everyone is doing well today!
I finally moved one of my chicks from December out into her new coop today. her roo is going in Saturday after we SET THE EGGS! haha
I probably sound really bad putting the chicks out this late, but its just now getting nice out and I like to pamper everyone

I collected 4 eggs today...one of them had a hole in the top, so either it was an accident, or I once again have a curious egg eater!

my NYD hatch is still inside (ugh!) but we have had an extremely cold winter here. it was nice yesterday and today, but tomorrow night lows are back to single digits and there are still feet of snow outside. Hopefully they will go out in a couple of weeks.

My NYD solo chick is still inside also. I took it outside for a few today and it just stood there looking at me like what the ..... Then a few of my older girls came over to check us out and one gave it a peck on the head it took off like a bullet took me almost an hour to catch it. Now it's back inside and being my friend again. Seems like its gonna be hard to integrate a single bird. The weather is gonna be decent so gonna take it outside for a few everyday.
 
x3 and I still have more coming +my birds are starting to lay like crazy
I wish mine would start laying. I got 2 eggs yesterday. Fist time since last weeks winter storm. None today. Good thing I have eggs on the way from ladycat. Its 1177 miles from her city to mine. It's my first time trying shipped eggs.

My solo NYD chick has been in the garage since it hatched, with its broody mama. They had a heat lamp and I have slowly weaned them from it. I took it away completely last night

I'm glad I'm not the only one with the babies still inside.

My eggs for this HAL showed up today. So excited and thankful to @Papa Brooder !! So timely, beautifully packed and so many extras!!!

I'll be setting CCL, B/B/S Laced Red Wyndottes and some of the coolest olive-eggers I've ever seen!

ladycat is great at packing eggs. I have a couple adorable Seramas from her.
 
so im almost done collecting eggs....I was aiming to have 3 from each of my birds that I want to hatch from, and im not telling how many birds that will be! LOL
I started collecting Monday, but if we set on the 14th ill either have EXTRA eggs to set, or ill replace my oldest....HMMM what should I do?!
 
I guess I'm not in this year and I wanted to do it so bad. I had to order a new bator and I'm not sure it will get here in time. Good luck everyone and if by any chance it comes I will be right back to let you konw.
