I use a mini led maglight. Super bright, comes with a rubber cap, and the eggs just happen to fit perfectly on it. So far I have been able to see through even the Marans eggs in my incubator.

ok I've got one, but it doesn't have the rubber? maybe I'm holding it wrong!!

Trying to navigate and/or contact the local 4-H office to figure out how to get my kids in poultry projects.
In Wis, you joined your local club and did whatever project you wanted to do, I guess here you find a project club and then commute to that club that has a project leader? I am in East Bremerton, and there are poultry leaders in Seabeck and in Port Orchard, each about 40 minutes from me. I would be fine starting one here, I lived and breathed 4-H in Wis when I was younger and am fine with my abilities to volunteer-- but if anyone here is in the Port Orchard or the Seabeck club, I would love to hear more about it! I know my kids have more fun when I am not the lead in every thing that they do.

Wellcome to the WA thread! Sorry I can't help. I'm way too south. Someone mentioned contacting the county extension office about 4h clubs. Maybe that would help you in your search! Anyway, glad your here!

I'm sort of the opposite: my idea of a perfect tropical vacation would be to bury myself in warm sand and stay there until the sun went down and it cooled off, perhaps getting up at noon to dunk in the ocean and cool down. This may be a result of chronic joint pain, but anyway...

Lol Im not very good at sitting in one spot for to long. Especially when Im somewhere Ive never been before!

If I were any good at it myself there's a chance I wouldn't be so tired all the time: napping, for instance, is not one of my fabulous skills.

I think the major thing is that the big traditional community clubs (in Thurston County: Prairie Wranglers, Lacey Lakers, Littlerockettes, T90 T-Boners, et'c and so on) died off when the founding members didn't have grandkids. I tried to do a family club when my son was nine, but there was a requirement for three full Saturdays of classes and Mom died after the first one and things got confused for a long while. I was a ten year 4Her, Chicago trip winner, and past project leader but there were no exceptions: three day-long classes or no club, and no way to get around it.

My nephew is in a club but it sort of got scraped together this winter after his last year's club dissolved. I wish there was more support from the extension service toward getting large, stable clubs going west-of-the-mountains, but it doesn't seem that there's time or money for that to happen.

Ok Day 18! Eggs have gone into lockdown. All are still going strong, an Ive decided to not get replacement eggs from the seller. Very nice lady and well packed eggs, but the postal system is just to rough to chance trying again. So next time, not sure when that will be, I will be getting eggs locally in the PNW.
