Well, it happens to every poultry keeper, yes I have given into temptation and got myself an incubator and some hatching eggs
I just couldn’t resist! 
Now leaving them 24hrs to settle but i'm like a big kid waiting to put them in and especially cant wait to see if any hatch as it’s my first time!! So excited!!!

| They were sold as yellow cuckoo marans, but I didn’t have time to look at the parents. Hopefully they will be beautiful! |

I hope they dont turn out like your picture or maybe it would be quite funny seeing a chicken running round like that !!!!!
Just got home and the temp is smack on 100f - panic over!!
Knobby, if i start asking about your orpington hatching eggs give me a slap!!! |
