First, I want to say that I think that it is absolutely wonderful of you to offer these eggs up to someone else, and I hope that in the future you are repaid for this kind act. There are so many of us that love those little fuzzy butts.
Life has not been very kind to us this past year and...
What part of Kentucky are you in? Would you allow us to pick some up instead of shipping them? I am a little scared of shipped eggs. I know that people do it all the time but I am still a little leary.

There was an ad on the Louisville Craigslist that had a trio of mille fleurs for $40. I thought about buying them myself, I REALLY, REALLY want them but I am trying to concentrate on what I have for right now before I bring in anything else.
I've never tried Rural Classifieds either but we also had a listing on Craigslist and got the same email about also posting there. I must admit I didn't even go check out the site I just deleted the email. I guess I will have to check it out.
I hope you can get them over it. The word "bloat" just makes my stomach turn, we lost our nanny Boer kid last week over bloat. She tried really hard to overcome it but it was just too much for her. Sending good vibes your way.
I am not allowed to get any more baby chicks for a while (we're overrun with fuzzy butts right now) but I just wanted to say hello. I saw you were from Shelby County, I grew up in Bagdad.
Congratulations! We are expecting our first kids in August. We have had goats for a while, and even had kids that we have gotten when they were just a few weeks old but we have never had to deliver any on our own. After reading about you having to pull out the first one I told my husband we...
I am glad they seem to be doing well. We had a pygmy that would not let her baby nurse. We tried and tried, we got her down to let the baby nurse and still no luck. We ended up having to bottle feed the baby (she was a few weeks old so I don't know how often to bottle feed a younger one) and...
I have a pair of cochins in a dog house that we converted to a chicken house. It's only the two of them, and we gave them a nice size run to go with it. I am anxious to see how it works out with them, so far they like it and she has laid 3 eggs in it already. We are hoping to do more small...
I haven't taken her temperature yet. I guess I should. What should her temp be? We did give her mineral oil last night, and she has been having quite a bit of gas. Her rumen feels spongie. I guess we have been lucky, this is the first time we have had any problems with bloat, so we are kind...
We had to padlock our coop a while back to. It was kind of funny though the day we locked it up the neighbor we had suspected of taking our eggs came by and noticed the locks. That night he called my husband and told him he wanted to buy some laying hens so that he could start getting eggs as...
I have a goat kid with bloat. We have 3 goat kids that we keep in a pen seperate from our pygmy goats. We let them out of their pens Saturday to play in the yard and let them start interacting with each other. Our Boer kid had a ball, and unfortunately we didn't realize how much green grass...
We are new to meat birds. I know this is a hard question to answer without piicture but I don't have any pics right now, I will add later. I have heard these birds can grow too fast for their feathers to grow. I have a Cornish Rock hen I have been worried about she almost looks like a chicken...
