Things are hotting up...

Let's see what's being going on since my last update...

Oh yes,

My bantam dotte eggs are now happily ensconced in thier RCOM King Suro incubator and are on day 8

I received a mix of blue birchen and birchen eggs from a Marans breeder here in France.  Infortunately 3 of the 12 were smooshed

But the remainong ones were very, very nice

They are now on day 1 in the incubator along with my day 13 CLBs

More excitingly, I now have my two test eggs in the hatcher on day 20... which means, theoretically, they should be hatching tomrrow!!!

Of course, now that they are in the hatcher I'm full of doubts.  The shells are too thick for my torch to penetrate, and although they both show good clear air cells, I can't actually tell if they are viable or not.

I am now going to be on tenterhooks until Monday at least!
