Your eggs will be fine as long as you let them hatch in the 'bator. Don't take them out or mess with them any more. With a staggered hatch you should have probably put the set date in pencil on the outside of the eggs. I stagger hatched all last summer with little ones hatching all the time...

Hot sauce sardines on toasted bread with melted cheese and mustard. I love those.

I have not had a chance to read all 32 pages of replies, but besides the "rooster" where e g g s should be everywhere, I noticed that all the PM's I've sent today about shipping "test ROOSTERS" are gone. Did anyone mention that PM's being sent are disappearing and can't be seen by the originator...

Ok everyone! I have the eggs divided into 6 egg cartons and ready to ship. I have PM'd everyone who contacted me and wanted eggs. I don't know if the server work they were doing effected PM's going through, but I have not got any replies from anyone yet and I noticed two of the 6 people in line...

Ok everyone! I have 4 PM's and 4 thread replies. I will call the eggs gone and figure up shipping for 6 eggs in a package. I will send you all a shipping cost and my Paypal account email address. When the money comes I will ship them out. If you don't have Paypal, that's fine. I will take a...

I currently have 21 goose eggs I picked up out of my goose run. I don't want them to go to waste so I would like to make them available to anyone who might want to hatch. I have 10 Africans, 3 Embdens and 2 mixed breeds in the same pen, so odds are a pure breed African or Embden from who has...

Hey all it's lilshadow....my goat Alice that kidded in Feb has bottlejaw I think. Her face is huge. She hasn't been feeling well, she has scours, and tonight I just came in from checking on them, and her little face is huge. It looks like she does have some swollen lymph nodes. I can't get...

My girls decided to lay their eggs in the most travelled spots this last year. In the goat pen, middle of a walkway in the barn, you name it! This year I have everyone in a new pen 50x80 and put medium sized dog houses (8) in there with straw in them to get the point across. They are going...

I have 3 embden and 13 brown chinese from what I can determine in my flock (gaggle). I got the 3 embden and 3 browns last year from people off freecycle and craigslist and had them locked up in the barn overnight and let them out. They did fine staying in my yard. They do wander across the dirt...

I think as goslings in a brooder they will be messier than chickens and about as messy as ducklings, but that is mostly from them playing in the water as they are drinking. I could never keep a waterer full for more than 5 minutes and I would have to change their pine shaving bedding out every...

Where are you at in MN? I might be able to give them a good home here in Milaca. I have an assortment of ducks and some eggs on the way. Let me know.

I figured I'd update on the quality of eggs I got from heview68 from ebay. I bought 100+, got 140, 25 cracked on delivery. Incubated 115, 40 didn't pip or zip. 5 pipped but didn't zip and 2 died before getting to the brooder. All 68 remaining are healthy little ones and eating and drinking like...
