Awesome, Karen! My next ones are due around the 27th I think. I have both my Reds & a mix of colors in that batch... SG roo over white, light grey, black & SG girls. Hoping for something interesting to hatch!

There are 7 white chickies now! Maybe 8 -- one was trying to get out last time I looked.

I need more SG. Anyone have any eggs available?

I'll see you Sunday!

 

[Cydney83]

Yep Sunday....now what we suppose to do?! for the meeting....I have 1 Cayuga out.....5 more almost and 1 new pip....Ducks anyone!?...I set 4 little Pastel Call ducks last night...I so wish more of the Dorkings had developed...oops this is the Dorking thread....

You know how it is with shipped eggs... what can you do? I wish they all hatched!

Ed contacted me yesterday and I had the unpleasant task of telling him about my hatch...thankfully he is allowing me to contact him again next year.

VERY SAD!!!

But I do have good news for you! Reds are on their way to you, by Noon today.

I guess I won't get any SG eggs from those pretty chickens then?

Not necessarily, dorking moms and dad made it out unscathed. I lost my frizzle hen and 2 Delawares. I also lost about 15 chicks.

Dave how are your La Fleche? Did they get wacked?

No, just the chicks... The La Fleche are at a farm where they are being finished out. I will be able to pick out the best ones for my flock. I lost all but a few of my Red Dorking chicks though...

Yeah, that's always a difficult conversation! I've been on both ends of that one. I try to send out more if I can, but you can't always do it.

A bunch more hatched while I was gone for the day, but it's utter chaos in there! I'm going to have to spring them tonite before bed. They're jumping over the ends of the hatching tray & I'm afraid some are going to get crushed!

I have too, and it is a difficult conversation for both parties.

Please post lots of pics! I have to live vicariously through you.
