Oh, my gosh.....now I am really eggcited. Only 8 days.

RFF: How long will your test eggs last? Oh my. I am eggcited.

How long can you hold any egg before putting it in a incubator? Okay, I need "Hatching Eggs in an Incubator for Idiots" book. Time to go read on the BYC forum how to do it correctly.

just so eggcited.

I have done 3 week old eggs, 3 of 8 hatched.

I have heard 3 to 4 weeks but your hatch rate goes way down.

A friend of mine had a good hatch rate with egg that had been washed and stored in a refrigerator.

I was told not to wash my eggs, as it was not good for them. Thoughts everyone? I just wipe them off with a paper towel. My oldest DS was mortified...he tells me, "you do know they come from a chicken's but"...."Yes, dear I realize that. That is why I tell you to wash your hands after handling eggs". Sheesh, how stupid does my 17 yo think I am?

Glad I'm not the only one - I thought it was a turtle head! Then I noticed the color, but still, first glance, turtle head is what I think of!

He was not planning on incubating those eggs. He have bought a second incubator, have some space and said what the hay and put some eggs in. I would never wash eggs I wanted to hatch.

Sorry to burst everyones bubble but the guy has a cute face and thats about it. IMHO. Needs some upper body workouts if the shirt off pic is him and some abbs. I'm not usually a critical person but you guys are ogling way too much. Face, ya. Body, no. But have to agree, definately cuter than the BYC Tudy.

Hey....Some of us are old ladies ....

And this is giving us great pleasure....DO NOT BURST MY BUBBLE!!!!! http://bestsmileys.com/bouncing/6.gif


oKAY, I sound like I am being mean....so there is a disclaimer: I am of course joking. Do NOT take me seriously.

EDITED: I too saw that photo, but didn't want to ruin the illusion, so I did not look really close. LOL.

Ha, well, I did apologize ahead of time. I couldn't help myself. Besides, it was just my humble opinion. Don't worry about me, continue on.

Ah, Mr. Sherlock, I don't drink the glass with the fish in it though.....See...I'm pretty smart. Never drink a glass of water that has fish swimmin in it. This is my "Ah-Ha" moment.

AHHH I think so Will have to go back and look. Things are moving a bit fast. It would be easier for me if ANYBODY sending anything like designs or pics could please E-MAIL them. I haven't figured out how to manage my PM's very well yet. But in email I can do a lot like save them in a folder print etc. Thanks.

CGG I do remember seeing some pics from you but just checked and can't find them. I don't remember if they were on here or PM.
