You know Linda, I now understand why the other day SCG was asking me about when to candle the turkey eggs. I think she wanted me to OK this "check before 24 hours have even gone by" craziness. I was just too thick to understand.

And then someone needs to slap me, I have 5-6 dozen chicken eggs being shipped to me from three different sources on Monday.

I need someone to stop me!!!!!!!!!! My DH is an enabler, he just keeps building coops/runs.

I have looked into my eggs and don't even see an air cell yet. Is this good? Or bad?

ANd yes, I'm going nuts again.

Can we get a discount on a bulk order of straight jackets?

You got that right!!!

I did set the eggs. all 6. Temps running about 101 with one plug in. SO will pull 2nd plug tomorrow. Adding my chick eggs now so the chicks are well adjusted before the turkeys arrive. ( I have a second incubator to use as a hatcher.)

The difference between breakfast and chicks, is the temperature you use to "cook" the eggs!

What breeds do I have? More than any sane person would own.

Was gone all day Saturday and got home at 4PM today. Eggs haven't arrived yet, so I'll be setting late and catching up from page 27!

ETA: Had to change 37 to 27...I was a bit behind! LOL

Acquired these two girls from someone who wasn't supposed to have them in the city. They were still pullets. They lay one egg every other day between the two of them. Have not noted them to be...

I wasn't sure I'd like them but have found them to be attractive and friendly so far. Hardy robust little birds.

With several comments about finding it hard to obtain good quality Brabanters, has anyone purchased from Sandhill? Where have you found good quality stock? If our town changes it's regs, this is...

I like everything about it except how it looks right now. I know it lays decently. It is a great part of my great waterfowl flock.
