Just three Salmon Fav. eggs wanted for a broody Silkie in Central PA .

Do you have a Faverole, Welsummer or other friendly POL hen to sell? WE need a good pet and layer for our happy backyard flock. I am in the Harrisburg are and am willing to drive an hour or two.

Best of luck to you both. Mine are toast, the blood vessels are all gone and I opened one up - dead. I am going to clean out the hatcher for the Faveroles due in 2 weeks, so far looks like 6 of nine are going but am not so great at early candling, may be more!

This is a better picture. I thought it was just the yolk sac but the bay doesn't seem to hearty. http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm45/wulimomma/IMG_0049.jpg

It is now about 24 hours old and is very small and seems skinnier than the others. http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm45/wulimomma/IMG_0051.jpg Also, my bator still has the 5 eggs that probably wont make it is starting to smell sort of strongly yeasty. The hatch began about 36 hours ago. do...

Here are my fluffy babies. Until my overheating occurred, things were perfect.

Thanks for the support, Equibling. Shouldn't there be signs of life? They are on day 20 and I keep watching and hoping to see the slightest movement. My other babies are doing great and we are in love already. Wish they could stay this little for longer. They are so funny to watch!

I went home and found my 'bator at 107 -I am sure my eggs are cooked. Things were great at 8:30 this AM when I moved yesterday's Austrolopes into the brooder. I left 4 silkies that hatched over night, 5 or 6 friz.cochin eggs and 1 living, chirping, pipped silkie. My DH was supposed to check them...

I have been so busy since I begged for eggs that I haven't had time to post. I put 17 eggs in the 'bator on tues and there are 6 very wet Austrolorpes and another imminent. The first at noon and the rest staggard after. Still waiting ti see my few silkie and frizzled babies.... some have pipped...

Thank you Starfroggie, I e-mailed Duane Urch. My fingers are crossed. And thanks also to Florida chick, I' let you know how they survived their first flight! And Banter, I can't say I have a good reason for not buying from a big hatchery. I may look into Ideal yet. Thank you.

Hi Florida Chick, Can I buy just 6? I can Paypal tonight! Maybe there is hope after all! If this works for you, I'll be one happy chickie momma.... I'll pay for all of them of do you think that in order to get two hens that I need 15. I don't want to waste eggs and am not sure I can find homes...

Help! Every time I think I have a plan, I find I can't pull it off. I am all set to hatch, I just need eggs. I had no idea they were so precious. Maybe y'all should charge more cause they are harder to come by than diamonds, that is for sure! It seems that a small flock is easier to raise than...

What kind of eggs do you have? I am looking for Faverolles and Austrolrpes. Thanks!
