The Wife wanted to know if we were going to finish a netflix show. I told her that the cradle on the Brinsea was at the perfect spot for candling and that was the most important thing going today....

She got me back though and started practicing the chello. It is a new instrument for her and there are only so many times one can stand listening to Mary and a little lamb and twinkle twinkle little star. Please oh please get up to Go Row Your Boat already!

Incubation is going very well! I will need to find homes if the ones left in the incubator hatch. I pulled three eggs today leaving 36 in the incubator. Two Pita Pinta eggs were clears and one Delaware was a blood ring. That means that all of the Delaware eggs were fertile!
