Really? The Highland cattle are small? My neighbors must have some VERY large stock then, cause when Lambert got out and was in my driveway he was HUGE! lol Very gentile, but very HUGE! lol Lambert is my neighbors Highland bull. Even the 2 year old they have is big, so is the cow.

I love me some Whooly, Scottish Highland cattle!

maybe there are minis too?

So sorry RW... I am hearing so many horror stories about bad hatches from shipped eggs, non shipped eggs, doesn't seem to matter.  I don't know what is going on!  Is it the time of the year?  Fluctuating weather creating unstable environments?  Monstrous handling of boxes through shipping companies?  It makes me a little nervous.  I don't have any plans to start incubating until late April, but then I'm hatching Seramas and knowing they can be somewhat iffy makes me apprehensive.  Gosh darn - hope everyone's luck turns around soon and folks start having more productive hatches.

That's what we're planning to get--a small herd. :)

I figured, "What the heck!" and gave Ginger the eggs I'd been saving to put on Craigslist.  I'll give her a chance. I think I've made her very happy. If it works, I'll sell chicks instead of eggs. if it doesn't, I'll know not to let her do it again.

I'd say at least 12? My Sumatras and Orloffs take 10's and 11's and my Sussex take 12's.

I just have a few 7's left (small bantam sizes)....most of the others I used up. I bought a few packs of the assorted size spirals (best for the money, especially if you don't know what size(s) you need. I bought mine from Cutler Supply--they're cheap!

I jumped the gun. Ginger is not broody. I gave her a bunch of Spitz eggs and a bunch of Brabanter eggs. Now, I don't know which ones are which. I can't sell them on craigslist. I either have to eat them, sell them as eating eggs, or borrow an incubator from someone. Does anyone not too far away have an incubator they could lend me? Please.
