Count me in!! I have some Solid Blue Marans, Buckeyes, Barnevelders, Speckled Sussex, BLRW, Delaware, Favorelles and Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas. I'm also throwing in a few of my own mongrel eggs.

okay... I have pippage!!! I will get photos in a little bit... (of that)

But my real reason for the thread is to show what is going into the bator.... I already have cree and Jesse bryant birds hatching.

I have Bayhorsebonne eggies that just arrived today doing their 24 hour rest... I would like to commend Donna for the most fabulous shipping wrap job under the sun. There was NO CHANCE of breakage.. Amazing...

I will be putting a couple of Cree Farms... (also AWESOME birds)... eggies in a separate bator... (they are too dirty to chance with my shipped eggs)

The rain here has made this state a mudhole... And it just keeps coming... So my eggies are more than just a little dirty!!! I have a hen that lays one like this in the mud nearly every day!!! (all just as dirty... ) I put down bedding and she scratches it away till she finds mud to lay an egg in.. go figure.

Geez... I guess I need to set the date on my husband's camera..... ha ha.

Kathyinmo, do your chicks read? Or is the book in the brooder a testimony to your opinion of the author? LOL

Wait, are those muddy ones Cree eggs or your own? Because I'd be very concerned of Cree Farms giving dirty eggs. I LOVE her stock, and yes mine came with occasional shavings and down stuck to a couple eggs, but nothing serious.

YaY! Kathy! That's AWESOME!!!!!!


I was able to sneak a few more eggs in yesterday...the count is now 29 BCM, Blue Copper and Splash eggs set for this hatch along.

Well, we do teach our chicks, at a young age, the importance of an education; but we also use books to sit the water on!
