I am so excited for you, Joy! I keep checking in to see your progress!

I put 44 English eggs in the incubator on March 22 at 2AM. Can I candle them yet?

I am getting ansy. If the fluff trim did not work, I am gonna be growling.

Joy, if you are not gonna leave those eggs in the bator long enough to hatch, might as well just put them under your wings, ha. My way of callling you an angel.

Jimmy - You smooth-talkin devil

Hmmm - all these compliments - wonder what you're up to?

I think I might have to have myself a little talk with Betty

Drats, what's that song, "You Hit Me Where It Hurt Me". You know your stuff girl.

Got another one zipped and almost out. I have one more pip that I can see fairly well. I'm gonna take the lid off the hatcher real quick and check the other eggs.

OH MY GOSH LOOK WHAT I JUST FOUND!!!

Could the egg on the left be a pullet egg laid by one of my Orps!!!???

It's a bit bigger that any pullet egg I have ever found. BUT where it was laid, in the middle of the run and the darker brown color leads me to believe it may be from one of my Orp girls. All of my other brown egg layers, Delawares specifically, lay a peachy beige light brown egg. This one is definitely different and it is definitely going on the incubator right now!

I bet it is.....it's certainly shaped like most of mine are. Mine are like Kathy's several different shades.

I do hope it is... and that it might still be fertile by Edmund!

I really hope it's fertile!
