First - Let me just say that I thought rechargeable batteries should last a little over a year. I guess mine don't - Because after finally finding my charger, and charging the camera - The batteries are still dying, then dead. Sigh. Sooo. . . . No new photos.
Anyway, I'm just 3 eggs away from being completely ready for incubation! I think what I am going to do is basically stick all my current ones in at midnight, then nab the last 3 the next morning and quickly sneak them in then. Hopefully that will leave a small enough time-gap to not worry of.
Oh! And my Wyandottes - They're all colored and recognizable now! Hahah - I marked the secondary feathers on each of their wings, and now they each have individual colors and names according to the colors. The markers, don't worry, are non-toxic and have been used in this situation before. They last for months, even though northwestern winter rain, and don't harm the Wyandottes' normal lives. So, here are the colors/names:
Cloud Blue, True Blue, Spring Green, Goldenrod/Llena, Pink/Chatta, Umber, Red, Yellow, Lilac (slightly ill right now) and Orange.
This weekend, Marc Antony has been let loose from his rooster-pen, and has been allowed to fertilize some eggs. Previously, Rumpless was already loose and had his time with a New Hampshire Red, Moha. Sooo - Here are the eggs going into the incubator:
Cloud Blue, Llena, Chatta, Yellow x 2, Red x 2, Raven x2, Moha x 4, and Tufted.
It is only guaranteed that Llena, Chatta, Yellow, Red, Raven, and Moha's eggs have been fertilized. I'll put this off on a last note - This is not how I wanted it, I will admit. I would have loved to get all three White Crested Black Polish eggs, twice, making six different polish cross babies with possible colored eggs - But no. Marc Antony is too lame of a rooster to think of mating with Crested Polish chickens.
