It went really well! I have about 50 eggs in a commercial salad bowl in the incubator this round. Do you know that some of them are developing? It's incredible! I probably ought to take a pic. I had a pile of eggs on the counter and just got a bug and decided to plop them all into this giant...

I am silly excited because my first hatch from TLS and Janelle Pruett stock is hatching today. Yea! I also seem unable to type!!!

X2 what Andy said. If you are really worried about worms you can put down diatomaceous earth that is food grade. It will say Codex Grade on the bag. It won't take but just a little bit in the dirt.

Hey ChellFeesh, Bonnylass was referring to eggs shook during shipping. Shipping is hard on eggs and can really mess the babies up. It's still one of the few easy ways to get different lines across the country. I have heard about Marans having webbed feet but I don't recall the reason. It...

Sherpagirl, Johanna is lovely! I am so sorry to hear that the rest of the flock was lost. What a tragedy! Thank goodness you have his stock also.

Today's babies! On the left is a girl and on the right is a boy. How perfect is that!

So, I thought I would post this since I now have hard numbers. Last month I bought 24 eggs from Sherpagirl, who is Fossil Rock Farms. She very kindly sent me 31 eggs, because as you know I have the double joy of shipping and then trying to hatch at high altitude. My babies starting...

You are going to have to crack open those eggs to know if they were fertile or not or damaged during shipping.

Nice! So far I have two with the possibility of 4 more. I am very excited!

Got a pip!!!!! This is a thrilling moment up in the clouds!

I am so darn antsy today!!!! I have 6 eggs in final lockdown from Fossil Rock Farm. They SHOULD be hatching Fri/Sat. I can get absolutely NO WORK DONE!!!!

So does have the "I have a new baby in the house" look. Poor thing! Dang cute though!

Hey DD, thanks for your thoughts. You can get a split pack here: http://www.firststatevetsupply.com/store2/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=30099 , so it's 500 doses not 1,000 but I agree that it seems as though getting the vaccine down to a dose for 100 or so would be nice.

Reading this I realized that I needed to add that I am currently incubating 31 Barnevelder eggs and it is these chicks that I am considering vaccinating. Sorry for the confusion!

I was wondering how many of you vaccinate for meraks. I am restarting my Barnevelder flock and currently have 6 chicks that are around 2 months (I'd have to look up their exact age). Those 6, I assume were not vaccinated, which is fine. My Barnevelder flock before was not vaccinated as it was...

Wow Trish! I have never seen so many babies come out of a hovabator! Congrats!

Thanks Trisha! I have seen a pic of one of Donn's hens and she was LOVELY. I will see if I can catch up with Andy and see how he's doing. Do you think your neighbor would be willing to sell some pure silver eggs?

Wow TLS your blues are AMAZING! Has anyone started breeding the silvers yet? I was thinking of fiddling with it next year, but I'd like to not reinvent the horse.

Thanks Happy Chooks! It's fun to be back.

Hi everyone! I have been away for a few years and am just starting to catch up with what's been going on in the Barnevelder world. It is with sadness I found out that Johan passed away. I purchased my original birds from him and peace of tyme farm. They were all lovely birds. Sadly, long...
