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

[Ravynscroft]

The eggs came from Ray_n_debi.

I know... I just haven't asked her about her Am's... she probably has Lav/Splits, but might have blacks separate...

 

[CaseyV]

put me down for atleast a dozen lav am's from yours this spring.

Nope, he has full floppy ears. When he was a baby they were the same size as they are now, so he has finally grown into them. He is a runt for either of his breeds though, not even a full 100lbs unless he's allowed to pack on a little weight.

He has never given me any trouble with any of the animals in the house or been one to chase any birds when we are out hiking, wheeling or at the park. He's a pretty good boy, very easy going & a great guarder. He knows that everything I feed in the house is his responsibility to guard. He's always the first dog outside & the last one in to make sure everyone is where they belong

He's beautiful! I love floppy ears. He must have been a sight with those ears as a puppy

Here's my Golden R. with a chick. She is so good with them all.

Awh... so sweet!

sounds like your doing great! mid egg temp is great! like Ron said its egg center egg temp that matters! ( I would not be honest if I said I run my bators at 99.5 because I run them all 100.5 even with serama.BUT MIND EVERYONE I AM CALIBRATED and have a thermostat that is set it and forget it, it doesnt move, change, even when the lid is left open all night, ughhhhh )

How were box conditions and stuff. how many rolling air cells? how did you treat the eggs when you got them? air cells were not rollers correct? how far did they travel? how many days old were the eggs? (how large were air cells)
ASK ME ABOUT HOW TO REQUEST EGGS FROM SELLERS, from age of eggs, to packing to shipping. and how to get usps to refund you if box is damaged.

Box conditions great. No cracked eggs. The JO box had no indication that it was fragile. My PO didn't call me as they usually do. They thought it was just a regular pkg and crammed it in our mail box on it's side I tried candling but couldn't really see air cells so I gave up thinking I was doing more harm and just let them set fat end up for about 16 hrs. I waited 3 days before I turned the egg turner on. I saw a link to an article of yours about how to request... but the link didn't work for me.

I will show you my spoiled brats, but not show you what they do to fowl

cause its not nice!


some of my springers when I was going to take a nap on the couch after working on the living room, see who gets the dog bed?

this is our Boy, "Cire" aka Diaper boy, only way to keep him in the house with me, and I hate outside dogs, refuse to put him out!
He is our breeder male and tends to mark his territory when the girls are in the mood, so band around the belly it is! aka diaper boy




Just born pup from last year.... so cute!
Note: NOT my hands and fingernails!!! my niece helped deliver pups!
I have never seen nails like that on these nasty rough hands, although wish I had nice ones

AND my most fav puppies image EVER....


8 BALL IN THE POCKET!

OMG all sooo beautiful. and I LOVE the couch picture, lol. We have two French Bulldogs inside and it's like that with our bed... they have to sprawl out in the most odd ways and somehow take up 3/4 of the king size bed, lol.

Sharing these from my email Mom sent me:

Precious! I'm too scared to see how my cat would act.

I had 8 LOs originally, I hatched 10 waited until old enough to add to the originals. I went through all the steps.. Build a small pen in the big coop. Over 2 months later they would still attack the littles. I said forget this and sold them. My DH wanted me to get rid of a flock of my orpingtons anyways because he said no one needs 3 different colors of the same breed lol. I may keep these 3 I have now to put in with the flock I'm building just for eating eggs.

YIKES, I thought Orpington's were supposed to be docile and friendly??

I agree on the rain. My truck looks like a duster. Aww, how is the clb boy doing? His brothers are starting crow.. Well try anyway.

We got close to 10 inches here. The ducks are in heaven.

Me too, my shepherd nearly killed one of my girls. Luckily the bird was still from shock and not actually dead. She's doing fine now and has even laid a couple eggs.

Thank goodness she was fine.

He was hatched August 26th @chicapee

Beautiful!

Oh, this is my Lemon Cuckoo orpington, he was hatched August 12th. I have more LCO but for his age his wayyy bigger than the rest.

What is a cuckoo Orpington? I tried to look it up but couldn't really find anything that explained the difference between it and an Orpington.

I thought so too, i guess those didn't get much human contact. i bought them full grown.

Lemon cuckoo is just a color.. you see he's barred. he's still an orpington. the hens just look like plain ol buffs.. even though i was told these had the double barred gene.

thanks!

Mine will probably still have black splits too... will see how things go in spring... just shoot Debi a pm and ask... she's a sweetie and if you just want to be sure, that's the only way to know, lol... I bet it's a split though...
