Living life on the edge (of the incubator) hatch-a-long

[2ndTink]

Heck I was just reminded I have some chance of showgirls in the shipped eggs

The shipped black silkie eggs have satin frizzle and showgirl. I'd love a satin, but satin frizzle and showgirls are not in my plans

@ElfenLied89 if there's a Showgirl I'll be sending it to you along with Norman and the Grinch. Just a heads up.

There is also a chance of frizzle and satin in the paint eggs, this is ok, and chocolate has frizzle which is great! Someday I'd love to hatch some chocolate satins, if I get a good chocolate cockerel and a good black satin pullet, watch out world because we're making some sexlinked chickies! This cross will produce chocolate pullets and black split to chocolate cockerels, both 50/50 on silkied and satin. Come on chocolate boy and black satin girl!!!!!

Hubby likes to check the temperature and humidity a few times a day, I wasn't sure he'd go to the basement to do this as my last two hatches were upstairs and easy to wander by. He's checked these twice yesterday and hasn't said a word about the number of eggs

Hubby shocked but excepting...

Maybe he's purposely avoiding looking into the incubator, trying to avoid fainting by the sheer number of eggs

Alright, set egg photos, numbered and a breed / pen key!

Starting in the NR360:
Bright Green dots are Fizz Bang the EE, the light eggs are BA and the one brown egg is a BR.
Brown dots are Chonkers over RIR, BA, BR, and EE. The two with brown and light blue dots are Chonkers and Juravenator a BA. The others I'm not sure who laid what other than the most olive colored egg is likely from Peaches.

The unmarked silkie eggs are part of the old/cold group.

Eggsellent way to stack 'em in the Brinsea! I'm going to remember that should I ever win the egg lottery.

Yes! This is how we turn the Brinsea 56 into a Brinsea 68

That could very well be it
