Ok now I have done it
almost every egg HATCHED WTH? I had 11 baskets and I know 5 or 6 had 100% hatches, some have eggs a day older so tomorrow will tell the tale on them. Only 2-3 pipped and zipped and died and I think less than 10 eggs didn't or hadn't hatch yet. That is probably pretty close to 100 chicks.... again! I am going to have olive eggers running out my ears..... I will sell some of those for sure. I think I have a lavender in one basket. (This is my best hatch of AM eggs I think only 1 didn't hatch maybe 2)
I know I will sell all the Black Barred rocks (I don't need them, I need the blues), maybe I should try to sell some SBEL since most all of them hatched too, 17 more I think. With that and some Olive Eggers that should thin it down pretty quick. I think I need to go to a flea market to sell them ASAP. My roo guy sold most of his birds by noon
I will give them a week on CL and then maybe go to sell them. I need to thin out a few brooders anyway.
He sold them at a flea market??? Seriously???

I think I might have a problem. I just put about (and I'm not counting in case DH asks) 120 or so guinea eggs in 2 hatchers. I candled them all. What happened to 50% for shipped eggs?
DMRippy, 14/16 in the brooder. 2 DIS. Most are black barred but it looks like there's at least 2 blue. yay me! I needed some more BR regardless of the color. My second batch from you should be getting close to hatching.
Thankfully I am selling some guineas tomorrow.
I am not going to order any more eggs for a while.![]()
Something must be in the water!

I didn't get a lot of blues either.... hum.... what happened to 50/50 and I have 5 blues WTH? I think I got 2 in one basket with 8 or 10 and I don't remember about the other basket. It had late hatchers in it. See.... that is why I need to get the reg BR hens OUT of that pen so it will up my blues.
So much for 50/50 ! THe blues sure are pretty.

(didn't really like the environment but they were really little so I took a chance and they are doing OK)


Did that sound convincing?
If my eggs don't sell on the 24hr auction....you may get them all LOL
