What's This?

Hey look, it's 28 Chickam eggs!
They go into the ReptiPro in about 6 hours!

This will be our 15th year of doing Chickam, yay! 
Because we are gluttons for punishment and powerless to resist cute fluffies...

All but three of these eggs are from our flock--sadly, when I candled the eggs tonight, 10 of the 12 eggs we got locally were badly cracked from repeated pecking (it seems our friend has an egg eater in his flock!)


#1-3 are the eggs from our friend. I know who laid some of our eggs: #4 Brick (bantam Cochin mix), 5 Slick Charlie (Partridge Rock), 6 Spork (Barred Rock), 7 Sesame (Smokey Pearl), 9 Cheerio (Cochin/Americaunas/Red Star mix).

There are 4 bantam eggs (#15-18, which will no doubt hatch first), the rest are a mix across our flock. I believe #19-20 are from Frittata (Danish Brown Leghorn), Pearl (Sussex mix) or Boombox (White Leghorn).

All of the equipment is running perfectly and ready to go!
