Last lot for the year?? Are you tempted to put a few more in the incubator as long as the girls are laying? There just might be a show winner in that lot.

I will have no room anywhere to put more chicks , I will only stick the old egg under a broody . I still have someone buying fertile eggs off me so they won't get wasted.

The NH pipped in the wrong end managed to hatch without help. Now an IG pipped right in the middle. It's been very quiet so don't know if it will hatch or not.

The old aussie post football with egg syndrome Mmm. Well I have 5 Andalusians out 1 Wellsummer and 4 Favorelles out from Mr Perry's eggs so far and some of mine too many to count. had a broody come out of the Bush yesterday with 13 half breeds . But my down side is a have a bad fuel leak on the header engine so may be a few days before I get going again have to strip the top of the header engine compartment down just to get to it.

I got 2 Wellsummers and 8 Andalusians and 6 Favorelles out in the end from Mr Perry's eggs a couple of mine look like some problems I think the humidity may have been a bit high for too long with hatching others in there the other week. The fuel line has a crack half way around it dam thing took 5 hours to get off now to get a new 1 and its Sunday. Mmm
