They all arrived safe and sound, all eating and drinking very well! Spent all day watching them, they are more entertaining than chicks and quail! Lots of personalities!
I know, aren't they beautiful! They look like they have makeup on, and everyone of them have a different personality too. Gertrude, is the caring mother, Mildred is Miss Bossy, and Olive is oh so timid! Charlie well, he is a goofball and had no care in the world!
Just went out today, got me some pictures and want to share!
Ok so here is Charlie, around six months old!
Charlie with Gertrude, Olive, and Mildred!
This is Gertrude, she has been laying for 10 days now, but the weather is too unpredictable so I have been taking her...
If its a private sale, and the people you sell it to doesn't report it, then what are you afraid of? Just don't take it to the farmer's market and sell it.
I would go with jamesmariefarms.com. Shipping is included! You will get what you order and a quality bird. It will save you time, money, and the headache!
If your egg light up like a light bulb, its infertile! Sometime it has a green or blue color to it. They are bad!
I don't bother candling at day 5 anymore, just wait till day 8-10.
By day 10 the light shouldn't travel through the eggs, you will see a dark mass in there with some clear area...
