In other news - Our eggs in the incubator. The eggs on my banner, my icon, and previously shown some time ago are from Black Copper Marans, Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Marans, and BBS Ameraucanas. Anyway; I candled the first batch of 12 Ameraucana, 12 Wheatie, and 11 BC Marans eggs on their 9th day, and found only 2/12 Ameraucanas good to go, and most of the BC eggs good with about half of the Wheaties good. The others looked like quitters. On the second batch of 2 Wheaties, 2 Ameraucanas, several BrahmaxEaster Egger, 2 NHRxNHR and 1 EExEE, almost all are good to go except the Ameraucanas (one has a bloodring, the other a quitter) and the Wheaties (both look like quitters.)
I'll post candling photos up the next time I candle them. (In about 3 days)
Otherwise, the big changes here are a beginning to the sale of eggs (for eating) and the finishings of planting the following trees/shrubs: 2 peaches, 2 plums, 2 pears, 2 apples, 1 almond, 3 grapes, 4 blueberries, 9 rasberries, and 75 strawberries. We still have 4 more grapevines arriving and 1 more Almond tree arriving. Then, next time we get another break of sunlight - We´ll start on tilling up the garden and planting thousands upon thousands of seeds, from crops like corn to herbs like thyme, to fruits and vegetables like tomatoes. By the way, listen to this: We have 12 different varieties of tomatoes! Can you imagine? 12 kinds of tomatoes!! Wow!! Some are golden, some are red, some are oblong, some are pink and purple, and some are even striped!
