➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

[ShrekDawg]

He has all of my roosters and all four of them are very good breeds that I paid a lot of money for.

I can't wait to see what pops out of the eggs

Sounds like you’ll get a lot of good crosses then!!

 

[ShrekDawg]

He is going to text me when he gets three dozen eggs. What I'm paying is under $12 total

Oh wow that’s awesome haha

 

[ShrekDawg]

I am going to get local eggs from someone that I gave roosters to. He has a variety of hens He buys them at $0.25 a piece at tractor supply because he buys them in large quantities.

I know that he has three of our olive egger roosters and one of our Black Jersey Giant roosters.

It should be interesting to see what pops out

You guys would flip if you knew the price that I was paying for them If I can work a good relationship with this guy, I can definitely get a lot of good chicks

He must have a ton of chickens

He must have a ton of chickens

I think he has a lot He said that he's collecting about 10 to 20 eggs a day. Some have stopped laying.

I told him not to put them in the refrigerator and just leave them on his counter. He doesn't know anything about incubating eggs so he is very interested to know how everything goes with the fertility rate and hatch rate because I told him he could sell them for more if he has that information... He doesn't have an incubator though and he wasn't interested in incubating his eggs.

He uses the roosters to till up his gardens, He has massive gardens.

The hens he uses for eggs and that's it.

I'm still going to put some of my eggs in the incubator as well because HeiHei might have mated. I want some of his chicks.

Happy Birthday, @casportpony !

Now that we have no chicks we have room to hatch 42 of them. Plus it's almost prime time for chicks right now. People are getting that itch to buy.

I have to remove my craigslist add. I haven't done that yet.

Hopefully they do well!!!

Mine love scratching in the garden lol

Hopefully he has.

Although even if he has, I think they can hold sperm for like two weeks so they might not be his chicks. How long have you had him again? Should probably be like a month or at least two weeks before they’ll for sure be his. Although with the other rooster in there you won’t really know for sure.

We put the fence around the dog house but still need to make it secure and also fix up the dog house.

And yeah probably a good idea.

@CSAchook I just ordered the Flukers Cricket Quench and some roach food. I ordered 3 lbs of food from a company called Bad A$$ Bugs, they have really good reviews. I'll see when I get them tomorrow if they like the food.

Great! You probably have actual humidity where you are so the crystals drying out may not be an issue for you. But if they do, you can put a very small amount of water in the bottom of your "water dish" and put the crystals on top of that. The water will help keep the crystals moist.

Our humidity is usually between 30% and 60%. This Winter has been very dry I can tell because my face is so dry right now my skin feels like it's shriveling I'm a humidity type of girl. I'm basically like a tropical lizard and I love heat
