I ended up ordering eggs for pick up. I'd rather have a day of driving by myself, listening to Audible, than risk the shipping. Sounds like a vacation to me! Thanks for helping me push that button.😊
Sorry for the bad picture but it was through a window that I just realized desperately needs an outside cleaning. I looked out my window an hour ago to this. Dolly is on top of the hawk netting that is on top of an A-frame that is an old swing set. I have no clue how she got there. It is ten...
I was going to suggest this exact product. This is what many/most line the incubator with for lockdown. Obviously airflow isn't an issue and it would definitely cushion the eggs.
You're right, on all counts. I would know I'm actually getting what I want, and it is usually crazy expensive! I do enjoy hatching them myself. I like having the relationship with them. The two that I bought as pullets are so skittish! I've worked with them since the first day I've had them but...
Not as of yet. I have checked out their site to see what they have along with a bunch of others. My preference is just to hatch and not have anything shipped. I've driven a few hours in all directions to get the breeds I have now. I'm sure I'll have to branch out if I want to actually get what I...
You're sweet to say that it was an accident! I've tried getting a hold of her and she won't respond. She robbed me, pure and simple. The other bird that is her twin has a normal single comb. That's what makes it so weird to me. Of course, they could have the same feather pattern but have...
I paid cash, of course. It is what it is. At least I managed to get six healthy babies out of the bunch. Just sucks that I paid pretty much double what bym eggs should be. I don't seem to have the luck with getting what I'm supposed to. My BCM babies turned out to be just Marans of some sort...
The eggs were supposed to be barnvelders, cream legbars, and opal legbars. He came from a blue egg so legbar. There doesn't appear to be a touch of legbar in him the way he looks, at least to me. She won't respond to any messages. I've been trying for months. I'm waiting to see an ad with her...
They are! They weren't in my plans but they aren't going anywhere. It's not their fault. The little black one, Mabel, is my shadow, asking to be held all the time. Adonis was a jerk once but learned his lesson! They're good birds.
It was strange. The report still didn't confirm it. It said is was possible. I guess the tumor could have been from another cause but being how Marek's is endemic, it wouldn't surprise me. There are chickens down the road in either direction so it definitely could have blown over. I've had no...
