Booby-Bation

Well I was googling incubating eggs without an incubator.  I thought maybe under a heat lamp. And I come across people putting them in their bras! I thought it was comical.  But one girl hatch 4 out of 6! Not bad.

I really wanted an incubator (or way more chickens) because having a broody hen takes away from egg laying for quite some time. But thankfully a lovely friend.....friend right? This isn't one of those incubators in reality you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy.   *glares*  she did warn me. AND nicely gave me 8 eggs for a 7 egg incubator.

SEVEN EGG INCUBATOR FOR 8 OVER SIZED EGGS! WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH THE EXTRA EGG!?!?!

*looks down*

I did

Boy that incubator from HELLo took some fighting and rigging the first week....and unfortunately during some adjusting of the booby-bator I sadly crushed the egg :-(

By the end of the week I'm finally a pro at rigging this not so HELLoISH incubator.....and all is fine. Minus candling the dark eggs look nothing like candling my first almost white batch so I thought they were duds.

Anywho went by my parents house last friday.  They have chickens too.  Infact they have I guess they are kinda rare cause they are expensive Cream Legbar Chicken. They happen to pull two eggs out the box while I was there and I was all "can I have them I'm going to put them in my bra" LMAO I'm sure they thought I was nuts!

I candled them and they are doing great! Unfortunately I had to preform emergency surgery on one when I poked too hard putting it back in the sock.  I used candle wax to seal the cracks. Then I used this clear expensive water/dirt proof bandaid thing (I got to keep water from getting in where the doc glued my sons busted chin)

These eggs gave me hope for the dark ones.

But yes yes I do stuff my bra.
