Settin’ Eggies

Lately I have been slacking on my Aloha Chicken project.  I have had a number of really, really bad hatches–and I was not really wanting to go through the stress of it again.

But, it was time to get crackin’ (no pun intended) so I penned up Patchwork in a separate cage with the seven ladies I was most interested in crossing him with.  Then I dumped my craptastic incubator and invested in a Brinsea–which if I may say—rocks the casbah so far.  It took me MONTHS of egg sales to save up for it, but I am really, really impressed with its performance.

Which is good, because I don’t think I could take the heartbreak of another  bad hatch.

These eggs were originally supposed to go to Sommer, but after some serious phone tag I just set them myself.  I started saving a second batch for her–but after another “whoopsie-doodles” had to set those as well.  More on that later!

This batch is due on March 15th, with the second round due on the 21st.   I’ll keep you posted!
