Wasn't planning on incubating any of Carl's "efforts" till February. Due to his sudden demise, decided I would give it a shot while there is still a chance for his genetic code to live on. Ordered a nice little egg warmer for the effort. Got 5 chances with recently laid eggs that hadn't been refrigerated. Would have had a 6th chance but I ate if for breakfast yesterday (oops). The good news is - I may have quite a few more chances. From what I just read, (if Carl was doing his duty) the hens could lay fertile eggs for up to 4 weeks without his further "assistance". http://msucares.com/poultry/reproductions/poultry_long_hens.html

Love this. XO
no way! that's amazing! can't wait to see what hatches!
According to the Texas Legislature, life begins at conception, so eating those fertilized eggs is an abomination. Jesus didn't eat fertilized eggs. I read it in a book.
This is wonderful news! Steve, hyou crack me up!
Carl will rise again,
John you know that you had two natural incubators already in place there.
I bet you miss hearing and seeing ole Carl. Good luck with this effort. And maybe you can turn on a camera as they start to hatch?
Carlitos, Carly, Chaz, Charros, Boris Karloff. Just a few name choices for the offspring.
