    Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

    Sounds like you need a chick-cam. A home security system hooked up to a dvr, if you have a smartphone, you can view it from your phone, computer or a TV hooked to the dvr. Good luck!!!

    Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

    [/URL] "Hmm... this looks interesting! What did she bring out for us this morning?" Bertha's egg- Fertile? Amelia's egg- Fertile? What did you mix together for them to eat? It looks interesting. Growing up, we were always told that the blood spots in eggs meant those were the fertile eggs. We...

    Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

    I feel bad for Sneaky Chimi, what a horrible way to go and for your kids, having to see that! Dog needs to behave or not be where there are chickens. Good thought, no more Dozer. Sorry you have to go through that!

    Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

    Thanks for the cheering! Henrietta has laid an egg every day since Monday but across the coop from the nesting boxes instead of in one. It is brighter where she is laying so I guess I need curtains. Do curtains really help that much? I have golf balls in some but not all. Are fake eggs better? I...

    Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

    Thank you, Sallysec! I can hardly wait! I put it on my picnic table and one of my dogs jumped up and licked it clean for me. When I first saw her there, I panicked thinking she cracked it and was eating it. Dogs, gotta love 'em.

    Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

    Thank you, Cheeka! That's so cute! Yes, they are wonderful! (except I haven't gotten much of anything else done around here today except chicken stuff) Eight more chickens to lay their first egg, the anticipation... I can't imagine what I'll be like if and when my own children have kids.

    Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

    LOL Wishing4wings! All my girls have such different personalities and it shows more as they are getting mature, especially since starting egg laying prep. The Silkies like being held (don't like getting caught) but relax quicker than the others after I catch 'em. Their look is so different, but...

    Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

    You are not alone. I gave one of my chicks away who turned out to be a rooster (a Silkie named Fluffernutter), to someone who offered to take him and put him in with his 6 pullets. A fox got them. He still has 2 turkeys and other chickens that he has had for years. Talk about feeling quilty. He...

    Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

    I have 2 Golden Sex Links, Henrietta is dancing and rambling, I think she will be first & Harriet. 2 Buff Orpingtons, Sweetheart is kinda dancing & talking (maybe she's just quieter but definitely not as much of a sweetheart as she was, lol) & Scarlet O'Hara. 2 Andalusians, Twinkle Toes is...
