Micro, they are chicken eggs. I ordered 12 assorted chicken hatching eggs from Meyer Hatchery. They just arrived yesterday, just set them today. They included one extra and I got a great variety!! They stamp the eggs with a code and include a little sheet so you can tell what breeds you have!! I got like 8 different breeds! We’ll see what hatches.

Here’s my (very messy ) notes and the sheet they included. And the eggs in the box with the codes visible. It was fun trying to figure it out lol

A couple were pretty smudged so can’t be sure of breed. Like one I know is an Orpington but unsure of type. I do know I have a Buff and a Lavender though so that’s exciting. Smudged one looks like maybe another Lav but not sure. One I could still mostly read so figured out was another RIR. Still can’t figure out the second white one. Maybe you guys can LOL

Thinking it’s probably another Blue Andalusian but it’s a totally different shape so who knows haha

My migraines are triggered by sudden drops in barometric pressure - a storm coming in.

But hear this, migraine folks! The neurologist said she won’t see any referrals for migraines unless the patient was on 400 mg of riboflavin (vitamin B2) and 400 mg of magnesium and it didn’t work. But it worked!

Don’t get the cheap magnesium. Get magnesium aspartate to avoid the, er, digestive disturbances. ive has only one migraine in the last 1 1/2 year

Wow that’s amazing!! I’m going to have to try that! I’ve been getting them a lot lately :/

But mine have a lot of different causes. Usually dry eyes, jaw pain, processed food, concerts or dehydration though

But I’m gonna try this. Do you take them separately or in a multivitamin or?

All kinds of types! It’s an assortment from Meyer Hatchery and I got like at least 8 different breeds in only 13 eggs!

I’ve got Welsummer, Blue Andalusian, Black Australorp, Buff Orpington, Lavender Orpington, Barred Rock, Easter Egger, Rhode Island Red, etc.

I’ve got 2 of the Wellies, BA, and RIR and I know I’ve got a third Orpington but can’t make out which type. The key letter distinguishing them is smudged haha think it might be another Lav though cause it looks like the other Lav egg but idk.

I’ve also got another white one but no clue cause it is SOOO smudged. Can’t make out anything. It’s most likely another Blue Andalusian but it’s a totally different shape so idk. Could also be a Light Brown Leghorn or Black Sumatra.

I wish I had a broody

I’ve been pretty stressed trying to get the incubator right haha

I am going to have a lot of broody chickens come spring. I have 4 silkie hens, 3 Giant cochins, and 11 bantam cochins, plus about half a dozen Mille fleurs.
