It just takes time, you will get the feel of it. It took me about 4 auctions to get a clue. Next time, tell people here you will be attending and what you will be wearing. Someone is sure to give you hand figuring things out. Lots of very helpful people on this board.

My daughter wanted to take the whole lot of partridge silkies home. All I could think was we got 54 silkie eggs in the bator at home. But she wants Partridge Silkies so bad.

 


Did you see any of us wearing POOPS shirt's?

I did see you, no need to be shy. we will help any way we can.

Well with a lot of help (120 from Guy) I set 5 full trays in the incubator this morning. Nothing like putting 900 eggs + or - very few in the incubator at once... I was almost tired from doing that. With 3 other trays in use that move to teh hatcher soon some later today I will start needing teh incubator space to set the eggs for teh next three weeks. That hatch is going to kick my tail but I need these out and going in early april to be ready for fall.

I'd say it was the hen, just after the peacock says or does something not quite the way the hen wants him too.hide.gif

I can not even imagine setting that many eggs, I do good to keep up with the 2 small incubators that are goinf, esp. with staggered hatches.

Cjarvis and /or anyone else  incubated turkey eggs ?

 

Got chickens ?

Got two walls (its the back of the barn) and all I would need to do it put up some more tin about half way and the rest chicken wire and throw down straw and some places to roost and some nesting boxes and man. I could buy some chickens....actual chickens! Since you know according to chicken math I don' actually own any chickens since mine don't lay eggs yet. But then we would have three coops!

 

This is bad. What have I gotten myself into?? tongue.png


you are ruined now, when you start finding "coop space" you didnt know about you are in trouble!

We are trying to hatch turkey eggs for the first time setting some at the end of this wk. I keep trying to set my peahens eggs & haven't had much luck with them yet.
My peahen never makes a sound, but I do hear my peacock call out frequently now that it is breeding season. We enjoy the peafowl, but are seriously considering selling the pair. DH wants their pen to be used for guineas.

Still haven't found a single guinea egg! I need to have a serious talk with those birds!

Today working hard to get things done before it rains. Think we are suppose to get close to 2 inches here. Seen other places they are calling for much more. Glad I haven't put any important stuff in the garden. Would hate for it to wash away.

I have all teh Columbain's I need for the year and pens all set. I appreciate the information though. That is one variety of OE that really needs some attention and between myself and friend in lousiana we have been making some real strides in the past two years.
