Breaking news out of deepest, darkest Iowa. We have a hatch impending. 15 eggs in the 'bator. 3 pips. Repeat, 3 pips. All stations ready. Don your protective gear. TWT team at the ready. We are on full alert!

History of hatch occupants including relevant intelligence:
- approximate arrival in State on December 12, 2009
- standard to small-ish size egg forms
- all brown to tinted in colour
The following information obtained from vendor by careful intelligence management:
- Free range "surprise" eggs
- Chicks hatched from these eggs could be pure or mixed breed
- very likely you will get mostly Silkies because I have several Silkie roosters and only one cream colored Brabanter and one Americana rooster running with the hens
- full free range flock at the moment consists of Silkies(Partridge hens & rooster, White hens and rooster, Buff hens and rooster, and a Blue hen), Americana bantams (two red breasted hens and one white rooster), Cream Brabanters (6 hens and 1 rooster).
