Here's my chicks from my hatch. Got six chicks out of ten eggs. One chick died, but I have 3 buff orpingtons, 1 leghorn, 1 mystery bantam (and one chick from IFA).

Here's a few outside today:

Would you be interested in a SG?



Looking to be a boy..not sure if you would want a boy?

Thanks cyn but I want a large bird for eggs that will do well here in Arizona. Turkens are awesome for egg production

 

[sundancenbare]

@sundancenbare The Turkish should be in SLC IFA today. I haven't heard from you, so I dont know if you still want them, maybe they will get some in again later in the year. Im not the best option for raising them anyway, I don't know how to pick boy vs girl or if you even still want them.

sorry my WIFI has been down I won't be home until mid april or later so I need them brooded until then. Also I prefer large fowl polish Thanks

@sideWing I am not sure but am thinking of adding just one hen to my flock (we are a little ocd and 7 hens is not balanced) and thought that a Marans would maybe be an option. Do you have a hen available? The catch is we would love it to fit in with the flock so no bullies as we have some timid hens and of course we would like it to be not much older than a year old if possible. Do you have one that fits the request?

Hi Newmarch. I do have an 8 month old BCM girl that just started laying. She is laying a nice #4-#5 egg. Not super dark, but really stands out in a mixed basket. She follows the American standard and has feathers down the outside of her legs. She is beautiful. I would sell her for $25. She is super sweet, never causes an issue at all. She has great type, nice copper hackles, and a really nice comb that does not flop over. Cleaned up she could probably win at shows. PM me if you are interested.

801 979 6366 lisa I haven't been on here for a while because I was injured and got out of the chicken game, so I have all of my stuff for sale which just to list a few things, are 2 Coops I used for 3 months that I bought new for 325 each then painted inside and out then singled they have 3 nesting boxes and a roosting bar each , brooder boxes with and without lights. and tons of other stuff i live in kearns and need money asap so please text only for more info

alright, I set my eggs just barely (like 30 minutes ago) in the classroom at my kids school. (hat tip to @sideWing for the eggs!) I let the incubator (brinsea mini advance) sit and warm up all morning. While I was there the turner started going and I noticed only 2 of the 7 eggs are turning--the smallest two. I marked them all with an X on the top and an O on the bottom so the teachers can watch them today and see if they start turning. I turned in manually with my hands also and sure enough, only two are turning properly. I played around with the placement of the eggs trying to get them to touch the bottom, but they just aren't doing it.

Here's some info: 7 barnyard mix eggs of various sizes, 'bator set at a 12 angle, turning every 60 minutes, with a 1 hour of cooling sometime during a 24hr cycle. I set the eggs with the pointy end to the outside and made sure the turner was put in the correct direction (with the dividing lines facing up)

What else can I do to get the eggs to turn? It's in a classroom, I don't want the teacher to have to worry about coming in over the weekends to manually turn the eggs.
