2015 HALLOWEEN Hatch-a-Long, Join us IF YOU DARE!

[tiffani day]

Because I was still iffy about my dark welsummer eggs I got a new candle light yesterday and low and behold I was able to see clearly in them and of the 11 set 6 had little chicks floating around. I'm still gonna wait til day 14 to toss anything.

It only works to put that on the form if the receiving PO is a designated holding facility. Otherwise, you write it on the box and hope they go ahead and read it and call.....Some are snotty about it and purposely refuse to call even if asked just because they don't have to if they are not a designated facility. I have to say, that more often than not, it does work to ask them to hold it.

The PO has been re organized over the past couple of years. I think all POs can hold packages now. Here in Davis, They will hold them at the main PO. If it is being shipped to a store front, then the main one will call.

They told me that writing on the box will not hold it since it is not official. You can of course write it, but the sender needs to put the hold on the box. The person being shipped to cannot call up the PO and have them hold it for them either.

It has to be the shipper that request it. The shipper has usually shipped incorrectly if the box is not held so once again, the shipper messes up and blames the PO for their error. Not saying that the PO does not do things wrong but they are an easy target for covering mistakes by the shipper.

I have to say, some are pretty snotty but I had a good experience with the first batch I sent My daughter got a call from the PO, the man said something was dripping and wet from her box.......when she told him it was eggs, he said, well looks like you have scrambled eggs..........

When she unpacked them (my first experiences shipping eggs) there was one broken in a corner of the box out of 37 eggs. 6 were infertile. She'll be letting me know how her hatch rate is soon

she's been incubating almost 2 years now. everything from quail, peacock, chickens and ducks!

Thank you. They are pretty obscure as of last night. I'm watching for a pip on any of them and will crank up the humidity when I see the first one. I'm keeping the smaller eggs furthest away from the heat source........is it bad to put silkie eggs in with the regular ones? 5 of them went into scrambled eggs and I could have cried LOL was saving them for the bator. now theres only two with them....

I heard a peep! I guess it's time for humidity!

Sorry for lack of update, but as some of you know, I cant see my cell and the BYC ap is useless to type on it anyways.

after my last post, I sent hubs and kids to the waterpark resort without me and I stayed with my girl. she had seizure after seizure, vet said take to doggie ER he couldnt do anything for her at his place. I was with her at ER as much as they would let me from Sunday until last evening, my budget finally topped. her seizures wouldnt stop. they had lessened in duration and severity so they let me bring her home and she is in Gods hands now. She had two small siez late last eve. and nothing that I know of since. she is on oral seizure meds now. And she knows who I am and will cuddle with me a bit and let me pet her and stuff but she is very restless and is panting and running around the perimeter of the rooms driving me insane so I kennel her aside of me to keep her calmed. I think its from the meds they have pumped in her so hard. Not sure it was the right thing to do or not, but we did what we did and now we see what comes of it. Thank you all for your caring, without hubs and having to deal with this sucked so bad, everyone knows she is my favorite and most spoiled of my springers, I am heartbroken, totally heartbroken if she isnt my baby girl anymore, but having to make those financial decisions without your husband also sucks. He didnt say a word after I told him when he asked me what it cost him. I also had a trip to urgent care with my lungs again and my kidneys, its always non stop with me. I didnt need to get worn down anymore than I already am. I had to push off my treatments until tomorrow this week, this weeks is going to be fourfold on me, I know it. ughhhh.


ANYWAYS..... I love you guys.... thank you so much for being here for me and waiting for me

I wish we were all in a farmers community!! not online community!!! I could have used some help, truely I could have, the chickens we processed needed shrinked wrapped, I never got to quarter any, I had to freeze them whole because I didnt have time to cut them up. I still have the necks and all that to make broth and can in my fridge, and I still didnt go for veggies and stuff to make that. Anyways, again I remind myself things could have been worse.


on the bright side....

remember all those eggs and refridge eggs in the bator hubs set to get me a CCL ROOSTER?

WELL I candled this morning when I added a bit of water!!!!!

I pulled this ONE EGG from that entire batch!!!!! EVEN the fridge eggs are VIABLE!!!







Anyone local need awesome XXXL layers of Blue eggs or need some great quality CCL ????

I SWEAR by my coolerbators and wafer thermostats!

Here is an XXXL kicking away.... he forgets what day he set on... my guess is day 16, anyone else guess? remember this egg is across my entire palm.

Sorry to hear about your dog's health problems and yours as well. Did they have any idea what might be wrong with your dog? Hope the seizure meds work & that she recovers.

I know it's hard to stay healthy & take care of yourself when you have all these stressful things going on, but do your best. Glad to hear the eggs are looking good!

they have no clue, they only did the basic labs, as all the extensive labs costs hundreds of dollars and I already had a few thousand dollars estimate on my plate. same thing with MRI and cat scans

More I'm happy the hatch is going ok. Maybe you will recoup some vet costs by selling some chicks.
