I read the thread title, and author, and I asked myself "What has she bought now?"

[Two_Sheds]

you need to get that trigger-finger sorted, Lynda

[lynda66]

i know this laptop seems to move the mouse all by itself ... oh and i'm getting 2 of each Lavender Araucanas Copper Black Marans, Silkies. see what we get

[Glutton4...]

Go for it! LOL - I've decided I CAN stand the stress if someone else is doing it, then I don't have to! Fingers crossed for you

[Suechooks]

There is treatment for this - just join Eggaholics Anonymous!

[RedThorn]

*lol shakes head* What are you like! ever thought about a bigger incubator? you'll need it at this rate

[Nicos]

was the egg THAT yummy that you need more chooks then!!

HA!!...good on you Lynda....are you going to keep all the babies indoors again-or thinking of building something else outside????...just a thought!!

[HayleyB]

Noooooooooo, my hair has only just grown back and I almost have nails again

[MaureenHall]

LYNDA!!!!! I knew you wouldn't be able to keep that 'bator empty for long Whohoo, more babies on the way

[lynda66]

lol tis all auntie mo's fault .... i haven't quite worked the logistics yet but i'm reckoning if i get 8 eggs hatching, and half are boys that leaves me with 7 girls in total .... BUT and tis a big but .... the boys WILL be dinner .... am planning on turning the nest box of the house into a broody/ baby coop by opening up the side,and adding a run, and making the nest area under the poop shelf, cos having to crawl in and retrieve the eggs is not exactly the best idea i ever had

[RedThorn]

cos having to crawl in and retrieve the eggs is not exactly the best idea i ever had

Nah just call it a design oversight!

lol tis all auntie mo's fault

Sooo.... she clicked the buttons then? naughty naughty Aunty Mo

[lynda66]

no auntie mo brought the incubator back yesterday ... and she knew i was broody

it wasn't a design oversight till i realised having a raising roof on the nest box was a weak point in the design with mr fox being about and me deciding to nail it on instead of putting hinges on it ... then deciding to put a poop shelf in it above the nest box
but it will be easy to cut some of the side out for a pop hole and add a run for them ... (i think)

[Snadger]

Good luck Lynda........again!

[lynda66]

fanks snadge .... is now hoping if they all hatch that they aren't all girls i soooo don't have enough space for 15 full grown egg laying chooks lol ... will be happy with a couple ... and hoping one of the silkies is a girl .... and some yummy chicken dinners

the good bit about having mostly marans though is that 1 you are supposed to be able to sex them and they will be the same breeds but hopefully different colours and aracuanas are cute i tried hatching them first of all ... and the silkies for summat ikkle and broody
