Ok so I have been trying to find Barber line BLRW, I can't seem to find any anywhere!! Does anyone know of any breeders that have them? I can find breeders that have mixed Barber lines with lesser quality birds but that is it! I would like to find hatching eggs or day old chicks...
So I'm getting rid of my flock... I hate to see them go but I have to do it. I have 2 SLW, 2 Americanas, 1 BR, 1 RIR, 1 Delaware, and 1 banty black frizzle cochin. They are all pretty sweet, not super social but when they feel like it they will let you pet them. The SLW are about a year old...
Ok so I am getting shipped a dozen welsummer eggs from mother goose on april 7th! YAY!!!!! I have an incubator which I tried to use on a previous hatch but I had horrible luck.... And yesterday one of my hens decided to go broody... So now I'm totally torn between giving her the eggs if...
I'll have to give that a try! I tried using cardboard over a brighter light to see through my darker eggs so maybe I should give that a try with the little ones too!
Wow that great about your son! I was born at Ft Riley!
It seems like everyone's shipped eggs aren't doing that great right now! 4 is good though! I hope all your little babies make it!

Ok good! I'm just using an led flashlight that is really bright and holding them over it! I can clearly see veins and the embryo it just appears to be stuck to one side of the egg on some of them!
So I have a question for everyone? When you candle at day 6 or 7 should the yolk still move? Or should it be stuck? I have been turning as regularly as I can but some of them seem to be stuck.... Is this normal? At day 3 the yolk could move just fine now some seem to be stuck... But the...
I raise mine on a cardboard box, that way when it gets to poopy I just throw it out! You can see here the chickies I got today and how I have the water and food up on the box! I also use a box for a little house for them incase they want out of the light!
Yay I just got home with my new little fluffy butts!!! I got 2 Easter Eggers, 1 RIR and 1 Delaware! All pullets! Sorry the pictures aren't great because I took them with my cell phone but I just had to post some pictures now!!!!!!
I wouldn't start to worry until day 23! They will hatch when they are good and ready! Maybe I have been thinking about them to much so they decided to take after me! (I was born 5 weeks late! my mom secretly hates me for it I think!!! not that I would blame her!!! )

That is what I did! I plugged the vent holes to try to keep the heat in and then covered them up! The temp dropped but not for too long so hopefully they will be fine! I am going to candle tomorrow anyway so I will update everyone then!
Omg so my power has gone out twice in the last two days! It was only for an hour or 2 each time but I'm seriously freaking out about it! I really hope there isn't any long term effects!
