I did an internet search and found this. Hope it helps others find their way there.

I wanna go! Who wants to drive my blind patootie to the show? and the kids, and we can pick up Cluckin', stop by Chrystal's gor a couple of Wellies, a....

Haha! Karma TOTALLY got my smart aleck self! Mid-comment the baby super-barfed. His tummy always gets upset while teething (last batch: canines

) You know how sometimes you have to just take one for the team? I just took one for the whole league. But we smell nice now. I suppose I won't be going. I would not want to besmirtch anyone's vehicle.

I marked the broody OEGB's eggs today. They were multiplying, so I wanna make sure I know which ones are "fresh" and which ones are hers. I will HAVE to get a picture of her protecting the nest. Who knew such a tiny bird could resemble a T-Rex?!

Bud: cheep!

I don't have much more information other than Saturday is the only day for the show. The last I heard, people showing their birds from out of town, will be able to take them home Saturday evening. I plan on heading out between 9-10am.

I just finished locking mine down. 8 eggs due on Mondayish, tossed 4 or 5. I also candled my next batch, due the 15th. All of my chooks eggs had clear veining and heartbeats. The Mille de Fleur cochins, not so much.

I will leave them in there, since the shells are so much thicker than my girls' eggs. One was clearly scrambled... I still have no idea how to candle those BCM eggs...

You will have to beg, plead, and pay out the nose, but I think Chrystal might part with one more.

Well, I would like hatching eggs or day olds from anyone who has any kind of dark egg layers. My three GCMs pooped out. I need some dark egg laying girlies! Anyone have some hatching eggs for me?? Day olds?? Coming soon??

Is this Chrystal Gail?

Well, I wouldnt mind hatching out fertilized eggs or getting a chick

But my incubator (broody) is already going. So its too late now. Hmmm, will she see this post (LOL)

This is the only bad thing about having a broody instead of an incubator

I cant order eggs or plan or ?

So what is everyones take on hatchery Welsummer's? Or is it better to get from a breeder?
