    Transporting eggs to be incubated?

    Some friends of my wife want to incubate and hatch some of my RIR eggs. What is the best way to transport them and take care of them until they can get them in the incubator?

    When I grew up my family taught me to be resourcefull, use what you have to get by. Right now I don't have a tiller, or any regular pots, or anything to pot with, or much money. But, I was tire poor. So, I used what I had to get by and make do. I used the resources I had available to me to...

    Quote: It is a pretty common practice down here too. I have a friend in England who plants potatoes in old tires cause she lives in a small neighborhood, with small yards. And, uhm, planting for your chickens? You betcha!! Chickens gotta eat, just the same as you! Our chickens get lots of...

    Quote: Yup, your right. I was stupid to think this was the place for me to show off my stupid self and my stupid tires, and my stupid chickens. Alright, I'll be stupid. But, I won't be stupid here any longer. Cancel me out on this forum. Ya'll have fun. And, thanks to those of you who were...

    Quote: Our chickens only free range when we can be outside supervising them. We have a couple of dogs that would love to get a hold of one. Also, there are lots of dogs in the neighborhood. So, we are very carefull with letting them out.

    Oh yea, it'll get enough sun. They are in direct sunlight right there for the most part. The grass is dead because we killed it with round up prior to doing the tire garden. It's a bit hard getting a mower in there so we wanted the grass taken care of prior to planting. The plants that vine out...

    Your wife and son are planting veggies in tires, your chickens are free ranging in the backyard, and the chicken coop has a tarp for a roof with plywood wired to the front wall for a wind break.
