On this day, the fourteenth of March, I, Ace, have set SEVEN barnyard Easter Egger mixes (1/2 Wheaten Ameraucana, 1/4 Barred Rock, and 1/4 EE). Let the partay begin!

I SET ALL THE EGGS!! (And am now wondering how to squeeze in more...) Another incubator build may be in order...

Those monster Toulouse eggs take up a lot of room! (Still thrilled that they survived their near drowning experience!) ...And the call eggs look so puny next to them!!

So many pretty colors!! The unexpected goose eggs took the spot of the dozen eggs that are yet to arrive. So it's either build another incubator or complete layer 2 here!!

Don't have a total yet But I'm in trouble. Putted the Dickie battor out of storage. Have lots of eggs all of a sudden. Daughter and son in law want some blue chicks, daughter wants some more cochin bantams. I don't how fertile the eggs are SO PUT TWICE AS MANY EGGS IN just in case!!!! Totally logical right?
That Dickie holds lots of eggs
rhode Island red
crest cream legbars - just beautiful
white marans- just started laying young
wheaten marans - Girls getting old need replacements
cuckoo marans Only 1 pair not many eggs
cochin bantams - just to cute have to hatch
silver and gold wyandottes- some one said would get some red lace
wheaten ameruacana - fox food he always prefer them. took 3 last month I am going to shoot him if I get a shot
EEs - because I like them
assorted marans, olive egg crosses because my splash roo is 5 years old I want another one
Oh I almost forgot the one and only N/N neck hens eggs. She with a barred roo this time, he half CLB/barbed EE hen
Total to come around Noon day. Darn kids got me started again tee hee hee. any excuse to hatch eggs. LOL
PS I am sure I forgot something

I have set:
11 Blue Brassy Back Sport OEGB
12 Cream Crested Legbars
4 CCL x Dark Brahma

I will be also setting cots and button quail and will add those numbers in when we hit the set date. I am going to buy another incubator today (to use as a hatcher, but thought I might stick some more of my olive egger crosses in there if I get it by tomorrow I will update my numbers).

I'm hoping I can still get in. It's only 10am here I've been saving my eggs and I got seven today.

I'm setting 9 Golden Comets
and 3 Mixed from the neighbors. lol

Does this work? My little giant just won't hold steady for the first time!

I have had really good hatches with the Farmers Innovator. Last year it was on sale with turner at TSC for half price, end of season.
It's worth buying, IMHO.

I Set 50 eggs for the Easter Hatch-along this morning!



18 Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Ameraucana from Lark Rise
from my backyard flocks...
12 Buff Orpington
7 Black/Blue Barred Plymouth Rocks
7 BO/EE mixes
6 Black/Blue Copper Marans

Oh I never mind then. Now I will be tempted to look at them every night

Ya, that probably wasn't the best thing they told me either, cause until they said that I was determined I was only going to do the three or four recommended days....lol But, I did alter my addiction so that it was only a 3-4 and not the same 3-4 being handled on a noghtly basis.
