Well it was -5 yesterday and we got like 8 inches of snow today.... No complaints about 70's lol. I have stinkers in the kitchen right now I can't wait to throw out the door
I always let ppl know most like to know some not so much but you did pay for them... It could be a variety of reasons they didn't develop and since none of them started it could be a fertility issue the breeder should know about. I always just make sure to be polite and ppl have resent me eggs a...
2 of the 4 that have hatched 2 more still in and another died over night 3 DIS this hatch idk why they looked positioned properly at least 2 so weird first time that has happened to me...
Are they all the same breed when I do mixed breed hatches I find some are slower my last hatch was about 36 hours last time from first pip until last one hatched. I left the hatchlings in until everyone hatched this time it was hard...
A splash!!! Yeah those are chocolates and lavenders on AM and on Orp. I just got my last batch (I SWEAR) from Papas Poultry (but they were on sale....) lol he included a ton of extras from his projects pens etc so I'm hoping maybe a splash may come out of that batch!!!
I stop turning shipped eggs early but otherwise yes take it out my humidity was a little lower at lockdown this time only 65% and it wasn't an issue I think it was too high last time at 80% so add wet sponges as needed and I'm always nervous lol

Very exciting Patty!!! Mine are due today too I have 2 pips so hopefully out of the few that made into lockdown locking decent I will have at least s couple hatch lav AM and choc Orp pipped yeah.... Fingers crossed for the other 4 that looked good at lockdown we will be gone for the day so I'm a...
That's awesome I had the lemon cuckoos and buffs in my old flock the buffs would ride around on my shoulder the whole time I did my barn chores the sweetest birds and fluffy beyond fluffy!!!
Just figured I would get chicks a little more expensive but less of the headache I have dealt w/ trying to hatch at least w/ the orps I really want. Don't get me wrong I love hatching but I had a baby catch it's belly button cord on its foot ripping stuff out last hatch and had to be culled and...
Ugh I'm dying to get some nice orps. I put a deposit down for silver laced and whites for spring from a breeder in Mass. This is my second batch I reordered the first was totally scrambled and this one wasn't much better and out of 7 lav Orp eggs set from another breeder only one even started. I...
