5th Annual BYC New Year's Day 2014 Hatch-A-Long

[19home]

I'm hatching Mille Fleur dUccles and hopefully Silkied feathered Ameruacana

I have a EE and it is crossed with a pheonix and a silkie. that is the reason why mine has a long tail.

har har har.

Yeah. I've got a little half silkie roo I'm hoping will give me some more dark skinned chicks out of my flock of barred hens (I'm not picky about color at the moment), a little naked neck I'm hoping will do the same (and he has the BEST tail...), and then I'm really HOPING my big red roo Goliath will give me some equally huge red chicks from my flock of red girls. Bling's in there as well (my oddball white chicken) but she's only laid one egg so far so I have no idea if hers will be big enough come set time or not.

This all assumes my *censored* incubator gets here...it's hung up in holiday shipping traffic somewhere...

Since my silkie hen went broody 2 days ago I'm gonna put a few eggs in the incubator just incase none of her 5 are fertile I'll post pictures in a while

Has it still not moved from where it was sitting the other day? That really sucks. I usually have good luck with FedEx. But unfortunately when they do screw something up they usually do it pretty royally.

Right now? They don't know WHERE it is. If it's been delivered, dropped off the back of the truck, diverted, what. It's just gone missing *facepalm*

 

[Whoops]

Ah, how frustrating. Mine has been sitting in Albuquerque since Wed, waiting to be thrown on the truck and brought to my house. However, that's UPS. At least it's not chicks or eggs.

If it were chicks or eggs I'd be crawling up someone's...nostril and residing there until the lost was found. However, it's just an incubator and at worst, I don't incubate chicks

I would be hopping mad.

But, maybe you'll get a lovely surprise tomorrow and it will be found on your doorstep.

 

[Whoops]

But, I hope they manage to get you the incubator in good condition and in time!

Thought ya'll might get a kick out of this.
