Does anyone in some subregion of sacramento have incubator services? I haven't managed to save up for a brinsea yet and these ebay eggs are screaming my name...

Jessica, ask Ron, "Ronott1" who might be able to hatch some eggs for you, or help you get in touch with someone who does. More often than not, it is easier to have the eggs incubated and hatched by someone who are well experienced in doing so.

I read on a FB post someone said Mallow weed will stop your hens from laying.
Looked it up and uc davis said it will affect the quality of a hens eggs, not sure what that means.
But I have TONS of it!

Anyone heard of it before?

I can tell you it won't stop your hens from laying. Mine eat it all the time!

Mine were older when I got them so I missed that stage, They were very near the POL. These are the girls. I have the one in front on the first picture. She is my favorite, but I love them both! She is younger and very friendly

She is a sister to the mothers of Lual chicks.

beautiful chicks, Lual!

woke up to a peeping incubator full of pips this morning -- pity spring break ends today, i would love to stay home and watch them hatch!

We'll miss you at the show. Even my geese won't eat this plant....nothing eats it here.

If you want to wait a couple weeks, you could borrow my Hova bator. It's pretty basic though (wafer thermostat, still air) . It "should" be empty by the 4th.

Thank you Walt. I'll miss being there. A friend asked me to cover for her that day at a Boy Scout event. And we have an Eagle Scout ceremony to attend that night, so the whole day is busy.

When is the first show of the next season? Nevada Poultry in October?

Thanks! I'm going to try to make the Nevada show. We'll see about the Central Coast.

I've culled big time in both flocks and hoping to show this year, assuming the offspring come out good.
