Hello to everyone, from Notth Central WV. Just wanted t stop by and let ya all know (if u didn't already know) that there will b an "Animal Swap" meet at the Tractor Supply parking lot. From 9-12 the first Saturday in April. There will b all kinds of animals: chickens, ducks, Turkeys, geese, Rabbits, Goats, Sheep, Puppies, Kitties, there hav even bn Lamas n Alpacas from time to time. If you are interested in chicks I know there will b a lot of them there. I myself an on bringing about 20 of different breeds. (Black Copper Marans (straight run), Welsummer pullets, Buff Orpington Pullets, Black Astrolop (straight run), two Astrolop hens (two yr old laying 5x wk), two red Sexlink hens (8 mo old laying daily), a Heritage RIR Roo 11mo old proven fertility very nice disposition ( pet quality due to frost bitten comb this winter).
Hope to see and meet several of you there.

Which Tractor Supply??

Sorry that's at the Tractor Supply in Clarksburg, on Emily Dr. Take 79 to ex 119 go East to the stop light by Wendy's, Walgreens &Eat n Park...follow road to right. At first light on this road (after you pass Kmart) turn left then right into th SAMs parking lot. Stay to Right take the turn to right (into a.c.Moore lot) Tractor Supply shares this lot on the far side. Is a very friendly place and if you don't find the chicks or ducklings you want at th swap they have a nice variety inside the store for sale!

Thank you! They are starting to hatch now. Got one out so far. The rest are pipping. :0)

Just wondering how your hatch rate was with misting the eggs? I have some in the bator now and am thinking of misting them. One of my Blue Swedish females died yesterday so that leaves me with only one so I really want these to hatch well.

I had 4/5 hatch. One didn't make it...just too weak but the others popped out like popcorn. I have another batch in now so I'm trying the same method. So far I have 7/7 with veins but I just started misting them. I started at day 7 this time. Seems like the misting helped them get out of the shells better.

Ok. I just saw your earlier post. Thank you. Good luck with your next batch.

How much are you asking for the buffs? What bloodline of Black Coopers do you have?
