They are POL but even if I never see a single egg I am so happy! They are simply gorgeous! One of the best Christmas gifts I could ask for from a client WOW! I will post pics later if anyone is interested

Now I just want some CHICKS for NYD!! C'mon CHICKIES!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!

More eggs were tossed as we reached the end of day 7. Lots of eggs were kept! Dividers for bators was discussed--use plastic canvas craft material instead of card board.

Also discussed was using a liner on the bottom of the bator. some use paper towers under burlap while others are using rubber shelf liner(for silverware drawers and etc.). It was pointed out that the liner can be cleaned in a washing machine when it gets too soiled.

Razadia got more advice on what to do with her Rooster named Red, including the observation that his spurs had been removed which often puts the Roo out of the "mood"

poor boy! Later in the new day(12/19), Razadia posted that she found a new job for Red! He is now going to be Bob Cat bait!

CelticOaks continued to post Goose pictures, which made us want them even more!

You can harvest down from them to make pillows! Use that to get permission to have them!

Brechin got a very poorly packed box of hatching eggs in the mail. I hope the wax works. Of real significance, she has moved hatching eggs into lockdown! We will see how her Tech Device works! She later posted that the eggs that made round trips between Arkansas and California had 6 of 12 developing!

Then it was morning!

Coffeemama7 had a dead Rouen hen, cmfarm had a temp drop in the bator, Sweetly Silkies bumped the bator while vacuuming, Pele did not drop any eggs into the bator and mstricer lost a Turkey Hen! Bettacreek had a turkey run out into the road!

Post 4106 has the Day 8 development post! Thanks Brookhavens! 13 Days Till Hatch!

The Broody Hen killed Aspens just hatched Duckling

mstricer announced a prize contest for Sally Sunshine which she will win if she has more that 269 posts for 5 straight days(she better get busy, she did not post that many yesterday).

Sweetly Silkies shared a great story about her Roo that survived a predator attack! (post 4202)

Mrheinz77 has to work tonight plowing--getting ready for a blizzard! Pray that the power stays on

Bettacreek celebrated her flocks egg bounty by having Quiche for dinner

I am very hungry now!

Off to have my Dinner!

CORRECTION RON!! My Eggies went from California to my address in ALASKA!! Then back to California. Anyone who has ever shipped or mailed to Alaska knows that things take twice as long to get there and have to endure below freezing and DRY AS A DEAD DOG'S BONE conditions. THANKS for the updates! You are AMAZING!!

Look! It didn't snow today!! Sunshine. But..the snow didn't melt because it was so cold. Even with the sun out, we still have snow on our trees..it was so beautiful on my way to PT this morning. I took my camera with me after taking pics from my back porch and front porch. Just beautiful! My coop and run is under there somewhere! Sun! Didn't melt much though From my back porch, look close, there is a mountain in the back ground behind the trees, with clouds on top of it. From front porch, can see the mountain there. Blue sky, after two days of snow! On our way to my PT. West mountain, not a real big mountain. But oh so pretty on our way. There's a big mountain. The biggest in our valley..Mnt. Timpanogus. Winter Wonderland.

Beautiful pictures!
