Funny you guys mention the pointy and round egg thought...I have a real pointy Pure Ameraucana egg in the bator from Cowgirl. I thought, if what they say is true..it's a boy..but I really don't think it's true. Like you said Lisa, your hen would lay all the same sex of babies? Nah.

I have some cute little Chipmunk babies hatching. Little EE's. They are always so cute with their little beards.

Awww....So very cute. I so need to get me an incubator and like 10 acres for all the cuties out in the world.

Then you'd both be like me... building coops and runs like crazy, ready to drop from exhaustion!!!

So the last few days or so I haven't been getting many eggs. I was thinking the heat was finally getting to them but then tonight my DH brings in 14 eggs. I have no idea where they were hiding them.

In the cooler spots than where you would rather have them lay.

You need either a Marans, or a Welsummer to breed with your EE's. The dark egg layer.

Not a good day for me today. Had a horrible day at work trying to learn new things, went to the dentist for two hours and got my mouth beat up, and then tonight, my BF's teenage daughter somehow got a hold of my number and texted me. And it wasn't a nice text. It was a whole novel in which she pretty much attacked me and threatened me, and then my BF asked me not to get involved. I'm feeling pretty hurt and angry right now. And there's no real indication that the divorce will be done any time soon. Ugh, you guys, there's so much more that goes into it all. It's been two stinking years. I feel sick inside. All I wanted was to make him happy and be happy with him. Now it feels like everywhere I turn, people are trying to rip me apart.

I'm going to a chicken show tomorrow

Ugh, I'm so sorry Red. Do you feel like your BF wants the divorce? I'm just wondering at what point do you give up, you know? I have good news for you: I was so afraid I'd lost the Icelandic eggs, and so close to hatch. I felt like I'd discovered my incubator had died quickly, but just didn't know. I candled the eggs tonight, and all 5 were still moving and alive. So at least there's that for you.

I hate that my incubator died. Especially during a hatch and ESPECIALLY when it's someone else's (extremely rare and valuable) eggs. But, I discovered the failure quickly (as opposed to it happening at 5pm Friday when incubator was at school for a 3 day weekend) and even more luckily, I had a broody who could take care of the eggs til a replacement came.
