Aspen and Pearl the guinea fowl are still in the one nesting box together and are clearly both broody, so I ended up taking the call duck eggs out of the incubator and stuck them under the girls. A hen will always do a better job on eggs than an incubator can. :D I'm hoping this works out! If so, LOL dysfunctional. A chicken and a guinea fowl hatching duck eggs together.

Iii was not going to do anything with the incubator other than call duck stuff, but the PERFECT auction for eggs popped up on BYC, so I just had to grab it! *____* Getting forty eggs--Old English in a few colors I've been wanting for a while, sumatras, cochins, d'uccles, silkies, and maybe even silver pencilled Plymoth Rock bantams if I get lucky. All for $26 shipped, so even if just a few of the eggs hatch, it'll be easily worth the cost. (A good quality chicken at a show costs about $25.) They're being shipped from New York and should be here in a few days. It'll be fun and exciting having that many eggs in the incubator! I'm going to be very careful about the humidity this time around, keeping it lower.

Thursday night I'm heading down to San Francisco straight from class. I just feel like hanging out in the city, and I'll be meeting up with some pkmncollectors members for dinner on Saturday night. :D I have to head back no later than 9:30 PM or so, because the next morning is the songbird class. Busy weekend, yes. If anyone wants to hang out in SF on Saturday, let me know! I'll probably go hang out in Japantown until 4:30-5 PM-ish.

Things are going well on Heart Gold! I'll post about my team later, as I have class in three minutes.

You know, I have always wondered, is there some special handling one needs when one ships (fertilized?) eggs for hatching? Such as temperature and whatnot? Do you put them in the fridge? I'm sorry if this came up before.
