Anyone setting eggs starting July 15 -July 22?

I have some Brahma Bantams, D'Uccle Bantams, and Pekin (Cochin Bantams) that hatched out on 08-07-12 and 08-08-12. Still have several available if anyone is interested. You can also check out my site at www.hensonacres.com for more pictures.



UPDATE: They are all sold.

Look at all the new little fluffies!!! Congratulations everyone. Silkiemelon I am so glad you found a buddy for your little guy. Roxanne so glad more hatched for you!! Matlock, the Heritage RIR eggs I received today were from luckypickens also. I sure hope I get a hatch rate like yours.
 
Thanks.  I've had that fabric for years.  I bought it to make a scrub tunic with because I'm a RN in a pediatric hospital and you just can't find any printed scrubs for men.


Now there's a switch!!....a Male RN ....& (me) Female in Construction!! :lol:

On my shipped eggs, 14 were clear and showed no development and were discarded at day 14. The last one's eggtopsy showed a mostly developed chick with a small yolk sac but it was upside down in the egg. I guess it drowned.

On my local eggs, one clear egg was discarded at day 14, one "stinker" was discarded around day 16, and the last one never pipped so I candled it today and saw no life. It's eggtopsy showed a very developed chick that must have died just in the last few days.

Here are the little puffballs.













I could not get them all to look at the camera.

For my next hatch I just ordered 18 "mixed duckling" hatching eggs from Metzer Farms. They will ship next week, so I will probably start them Friday morning on the 17th.
What lovely pics!
 
You sew? i went to school for sewing. im tall so I have to make alot of my clothes. and pediactrics you cant beat that job

After I got married I bought my wife (Sherri) a nice sewing machine. She then told me that she did not know how to sew. I found that hard to believe because my mom had shown me how to hem pants and some simple stuff when I was very young and I used to sit and watch her sew before I started school. Sherri told me that her mom did not ever sew so she was never exposed to it, but her grandmother used to sew some. So she bought a pattern and some fabric and went to grandmothers house to learn to sew. When she got back she put the sewing machine in a closet and never even thought about it again.

About six years ago I asked her if she ever planned to use that sewing machine and she told me that if I wanted that sewing machine to get used then I better use it myself. Well I'm proud of the fact that anything I have ever wanted to do, all I've had to do is read about it and then do it. So I started sewing. I made the kids some clothes and made some scrub tunics. I used to take the sewing machine to the fire station with me and do my sewing when I was at work. I kind of liked the idea of getting paid to do it.

I haven't done any more sewing for a few years, just don't have enough hours in the day anymore. Too many other things that I enjoy doing. The only problem is all my hobbies require expensive equipment. (wire welder, plasma cutter, table saw, planer, router, etc.) Keeping chickens is actually one of the cheapest hobbies that I have ever gotten into.

And yes, I love working in pediatrics. I finally quit the fire department after 18 years and now I'm finally down to just one job and trying to get rid of that one too. Twenty two more months till retirement.
