It Begins...

On Friday morning, a rather large (and amazingly well packed) box arrived.  Inside was a dozen-and-a-half beautifully wrapped and cushioned eggs.  My Swedish Flower Hen eggs!  Every single egg, including the bonus two Cream Legbar eggs, had arrived uncracked, unfrozen and looked beautiful.

After freeing them from their bubble wrap and letting them warm up to room temperature, it was time to fill the automatic egg turner.

Aren't they beautiful?  In 19 days, I'll take them out of the turner and then, three days later, they should start hatching. 

I can hardly wait!
