Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today - Page 3433

Hey for 3 week old eggs..... That is a great hatch rate ~ especially if they were scrambled upon arrival with cracked eggs. 

I just bought 10 dozen Pekin eggs, shipped & packaged great in the boxes, and one arrived completely intact  , and the other was mangled & stinky & crap

So I had to wash ALL  the eggs in one of the boxes & smelled FOWL rotten  ~ and the other I put in just fine ALL intact. 

I currently have 76 eggs going into LD today out of the 90ish eggs that made it thru transit intact  (I bought the 120 w/ 60 in each box) So the one that was mangled I knew I would not get many to hatch after losing a dozens that were cracked, & the others not cracked coated with rotten egg, and then being washed.....

So the guy refunded me total cost for one of the boxes, which was really nice of him. 

195??  For that??  Hmm... Nope.

My buttons are inside, but I thought they could go out with wind blocks in more fair climates. 

Psue there is an ad on CL ~ So when my Geese, Turkeys, Ducks, Chickens & Guineas are all ready I will be able to do them all in a day or weekend depending on who comes to help!

Poultry Processing Equipment

Currenty WA Dept of Ag regulations allows farmers raising less than 1,000 birds to process & sell them directly to customers.

Small poultry producers wishing to process birds for personal use may rent the Pierce Conservation District Poultry processsing equi[ment for $20 a day or $35 for a weekend.

Equipment can process up to 100-200 birds a day.

Easily transported in a pickup truck.

So any of you peeps who live close buy & have things you want plucked n stuff ~ Bring a few cold ones & enjoy a day of BBQ ~ Spirits  

I will be doing this October-ish

wish Missouri had that!!!!  me, QJ , Julie and a few others would have a party

 And I'd come, casue ya'll aren't that far away!!!

Hey, you all want to help me make a final decision?  I'm taking opinions on house colors.  Here are my scheme choices. 

Tell me which paint scheme you each like best....

Trying to decide on my house. Remember, on it, the wing to the Right is copied on the Left also, where here its not. Mine has two wings, this place only one. This one is very close to what my house looks like though.

Seriously. I only have a few birds to process here and there, it's such a pain to set up everything just for them. Need to all get together to do it. 

We will do a big job in Oct. Your welcome to come up...  You wouldn't even have a mess in your yard
