I'm sure I can round up some eggs to set on the 9th of March. Current eggs will be hatched and out to the brooder by then.

Today I am picking up quail chicks! But I will still be setting the 53 quail eggs for easter!

My husband said I cannot buy more livestock, unless it is lambs from the auction. So I will not be hatching quail for Easter, but I will be hatching them after my current quail chicks start laying.

So instead I will set 42 Lavender Ameracauna eggs. Hopefully they all hatch. I have 4 people on the waiting list so far that want chicks for Easter.

I set four more emu eggs today! These ones are due around April 4th. Two are local, and two are all the way from Oregon.

Make sure you enter the Farthest Shipped Eggs! contest!

These two might be contenders, that's for sure. Almost from coast to coast!

I got antsy and “may” have filled both my incubators just yesterday, but I will definitely follow

I have been dying to put eggs in. But with some being shipped and think someone else sending me some at some point to check fertility I need to leave them open. Lol

I ordered 4 new bulb type thermometers today so I can have one in each incubator. Now I won't have to move the tops off of the Hovabators to verify the digital built in thermometer.

I don't think that I will make it. I will say maybe right now. I am getting some shipped eggs but as of now I believe they aren't going to ship until March 11th so hopefully I will have them the 12th since they are in the same state. Some of the breeds I am getting she doesn't have a ton of hens and has some orders before me, but maybe if I am lucky she will get a few extra eggs the week before and can ship them earlier. I am SOOOOOO excited though! I am getting Lavender Ameraucana, Salmon Faverolles (but breed quality with major fluffy cheeks!), her own breed she made that she calls chocolate emerald (a chocolate Wyandotte/Lavender Ameraucana cross that is auto sexing the first generation and will lay blue/green eggs!). and the BEST one of all Lemon Owlbeards!!!!!!!!

Awesome mix of breeds!

I need to get some silkie eggs before the 9th. A friend wants a couple of silkies for Easter.

Always great to have a home lined up. Good luck!

Ok it changed and she is shipping them the 4th. Right now the plan is to set them the 7th so 2 days early. Does that still count?

Yes! Sounds great.

I just put in some button eggs today and have more coturnix eggs coming soon. I'm ready to hatch hatch hatch!

I'm sure I can round up some eggs to set on the 9th of March. Current eggs will be hatched and out to the brooder by then.

Wow, that's a lot of eggs. Good luck!

I feel your pain. I would be tempted to do the same!
