I guess I got confused on this ad due to the older posts. Finally figured out it was a current auction but closed April 10. If you still have eggs available I would like to purchase 12 - 18 eggs. Just tell me a price and I can paypal.
Thanks.

My egg order from Hot2Pot hatched this weekend although they started on day 19 which was Thursday. 33 hatched but 2 died so I have 31 romping and stomping in their purple swimming pool. I have a 14x24 metal building where I have the pool along with all of my goat equipment and feed so it is a...
Thanks for posting pictures of the baby australorps. I hatched 33 babies yesterday from Hot2pot and I have four that look just like them. I could not figure out what they were.
And I bid $1.00
I'll start since I just hatched 33 from last batch I bought from Hot2Pot.
Not exactly sure if I am to start at the price on the auction or go up so if I am wrong I can fix.
$ .75
Today is hatch day but most of them are already here. I have two in the incubator that have pipped. I have removed the other 31 to temporary plastic tubs until I can get them outside to their kiddie swimming pool. I have GLW, BO, SS hatched. I have a red baby that I have no idea unless it is a...
This is only day 19 and I have six already hatched and about that many more pipped eggs. I have several breeds in the incubator and there are 4 yellow and 2 brown so it isn't just one breed hatching early. I am excited that they are doing so well zipping and stumbling around.
I just finished candling and now 39 eggs are in lockdown. 50% of my Buff Brahma eggs did not make it to lockdown. These are shipped eggs so I think I did pretty good ending up with 39. Here's hoping I get a good hatch rate from them. I hear one chirping. Working on getting my humidity up. I...
If I run my Hovabator with no water it ranges from 30-40% I am guessing depending on the outside air. Only one day did it go below 30% this week and I put a half sheet of wet papertowel aong the side and the % came back up enough.
A big THANK YOU to Horton FArms for posting those dates. I was working on this project since I have an almanac I decided to figure it out but someone has already done it for me.
Thanks again.
Another Texas view. This is the first time I have ever raised winter chicks and I like it. An hour east of Austin and it is pretty mild but still need heat lamps.
I have three sets going riht now. Soon to be four. Eggs in the incubator, 2 week olds in a swimming pool in a portable building with...
You can calibrate the glass thermometer and use it as a guide. Put it into ice and it should read 32 degrees. That is, if it reads that low. Not sure what kind of glass thermometer you have. I have a metal therometer with a dial on top and it is calibrated and is accurate so I compare all of...
New or not, I would personally calibrate any new thermometer and/or hygrometer that I purchase. You would hate to find out too late that your new thermometer is off. My Dh bought a brand new thermometer for outside and it is way off. Says it is below 32 when it is more like 40. It is...
