Hatch Notice
Last week I wrote that I had received 9 icelandic eggs from thebirdguy and was totally impressed that 7/9 were developing. All 7 of those made it to lockdown, and all 7 hatched!!! Super healthy and robust chicks!!! Thank you!!!! I have had several great hatches back to back...

Sorry, my system will not let me quote your post. Splash are occasionally hatched from my DLBB project and so far most of the Splash I have hatched have been boys. I do not use Splash in my program but they occasionally pop up.
The chicks you hatched (that are not Splash) are...
Yep, I am pretty frustrated with Ebay too. Someone fronm Turkey bought my $60 egg auction when the ad clearly states Cont. US only. It was their first time bidding and never paid. I put in a claim to Ebay not to be paid from customer but so I would not be charged the commission. I did not...
Excellent Those are the last DLBB eggs for awhile as both of my girls went broody. URG..... I have one more in the pen, but she is not yet laying even tho all arrows point to go.
Yipppeeeee!!!! I just had 8/9 of the Favorelle eggs shipped to me from Ayeupchuck hatch!!!! The 9th chicks developed, pipped and passed away before zipping. It looked totally healthy and had absorbed yolk so I am not sure what happened. Poor thing.
I am over joyed with the 8 that did...
I hatched a bunch of chicks last year that were not turned. I went to take the turner out at lockdown and realized it was not plugged in. I panicked, but to my surprise had a fairly good hatch.
Perhaps the person offering should just clarify in the offer who pays for shipping if chicks are involved and the number of chicks that will be shipped. It is up to the person claiming the swap to claim offer or not.
Just candled Icelandic eggs from Thebirdguy and have 100% development!!!! Holy Moly!!! Thank you for the lovely eggs! Hatch date 4/28, fingers crossed!
OMG he is soooo cool. Stacey at Thistle Down Farm in Davis has a couple super cool turkeys and everytime I go there I want to get some, then I chicken out. One day!
I have never had one crow but have heard it happening, and I think it is not that un-common. I think it mostly happens in flocks that do not have roosters.
I have a hen that switched to a roosters. She laid eggs until she was about 10 months, then stopped and within a couple of month her...
Great, thank you for all the great info. Is there any diseases that chickens can catch from Turkeys, or are only chickens at risk when housed with chickens?
I would love to hear from the people who keep turnkeys and chickens together. I have stayed away from Turkeys because of the Black Head issue, but sooo many people keep them together and don't seem to have any problems. I really only want a couple as pets to run around the yard. If they do...
I am super stoked, I set 9 Cream Legbar eggs from CPL and all 9 made it to lockdown. 100% development for shipped eggs - outstanding!!! I am in California so these beauties had to travel a long long way.
I also have 4/6 of Waldons CL, 16/18 Double Laced Blue Barnies from Trisha and 6/8...
