Wow, nice

How long does 200kg last you?

About 5 and half weeks.

Opened up the remaining marans and sadly, they had all quit. One was upside down and only recently quit and the others seemed to have quit days ago.
It's hard seeing them get so close but I'm happy with the hatch rate. Only 5/12 but that's the best I've had from posted eggs.

I'll be setting minorca Eggs later this week and tomorrow I pick up six chicks and four older birds (most of which I'll sell, just couldn't pass up the deal) so plenty of babies around to make up for the lost ones.

Sorry about your eggs Pinky. I've never hatched eggs before, but I'd be disappointed as well in your situation.

Just so I can catch up, what breeds does everyone keep/breed?

Hi everyone, I'm having a problem and I'm not sure if it something I've done, but my isa brown pullet started laying at the start of June, she was laying an egg everyday. But two weeks ago she stopped, not on egg, I know it's not hidden, my yards not that big. Also I got this tiny brown egg today very thin shell but I think it's from the langshan bantam, her first, it had no yolk and looked like an embryo, is that normal?

Sorry to hear Pinky,

but 5 out of 12 is pretty good for posted eggs.

Hi Ruby66, She may be moulting.... A first egg can be like this I have read somewhere, mine usually just start out little....

Kspot I have French Wheaten and Black Copper Marans, Araucana, Croad Langshans, Silver Duckwing Welsummers and various different crosses....

I have a question for those who use vaccinations. Where do you get them from and what do you use?.
