Okay guys. I'm about to throw these eggs in. But I want to do everything right. Is it best to lay them on their sides? Or cut down a carton? And do I start with trays full or dry?

PLEASE remember, this is a STILL AIR bator, the reason I hesitate to use a tray is bc I know it's warmer up higher. Don't want to fry them!

Laying them on their side or large-end-up in a carton is fine. Both ways are about the same. But I would NOT fill any trays at first. Wait until the last 3-5 days of incubation for that (or weigh them and judge from there).

Okay! Are y'all ready? lol

First, I got another egg from my Lav AM this morning, so that makes four total from her tha I will set.

Then, I took my three Pekin eggs out of the bator, wrapped them snug and strapped them in for a ride to meet GAMarans! (Who is, btw, as lovely as the name implies

).. Worked out a little deal with HER and came away with these beauties:

THEN!! From THERE, I went to visit my "original dealer", the one who got me hooked on the feathered crack rocks originally. I HAD to see what all new breeds she has to show off. Annnddd I may have come away with four GOLD-LACED BRAHMA eggs. ***squeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!***

I_am SO. Excited! I'm about to set them all after I get a few details worked out. Here is a sampling of one of each egg, plus a piece of chocolate for reference

THANKS LTygress!! So glad I won't have to worry with it until then. I cannot WAIT for these babies to get here! The Marans will be so pretty, the AM so cute with their little beards, and the Brahma so funny with their fuzzy legs.. My friend said they are funny to watch walking when they're little with all that feathering lol.
 
A moment of laughter...

A certain disliked hatcher far west of Atlanta, got busted today for copyright violation for using photos that did not belong to them - but rather to a large commercial hatchery. Apparently the person in legal department at the hatchery actually OWNED the chicken in the photo!
 
Wow! I think I had noticed that before.. I'd see a certain pic in the ad that I KNEW I'd seen before (like, in a general google search of a breed).. Just never dug too deep. But it was enough to scare me off.
