No broken or cracked eggs, they were packed on their sides and most of the air cells are a little giggly, no snow globes in the bunch but 1 was upside down.

2 L CU. Lav Cuckoo.
1 L U or LC ?
5 B CU. Blue Cuckoo
2. G R. Ginger Red
2. Pot. Porcelain
6. SDW. Phoenix bantams

The partridge rock bantams seem to AWOL in Baton Rogue. Nothing since 9:53 pm.

Nice Chicken assortment!

I don't need to talk about it. I was just letting Nor Cal chick owners know there were some available in Vaccavile. Personally I though chickens like that went to meat factories for dog food or something. But I am not in the business so I dunno.



Lost our duckling today.

I was going to do this one time. They wanted to come meet with me and put me through a big adoption process.

I was not worth doing. Besides, I do not want them knowing where I live.

Bio security is also an issue since they go from place to place in a day.


So sorry about your Duckling!

Thank-you so much for letting me know what you got!

Sounds like a fun mix of colors! Sorry to hear your partridge rock bantams didn't show up!

I looked at it and thought the same thing. I would "rescue" a chicken anytime, but I'm not going to jump through a bunch of hoops to do it. I don't like the thought on having to give my : name, address, pictures, Avian vet info, full list of all my animals, let them come to my house for inspections, promise to make my first born a vegan.... ect. The Sacramento Animal shelter has a whole bunch of hens looking for homes.

I do think it is a good thing for those that want to do all of that. Thank you so much Chik Can for posting the link!

For those who do calibrate hygrometers. I found this interesting quote on testing them. it was on a testing kit from Amazon:

"It is useful to note that hygrometer calibration is a nonlinear task, so if your hygrometer is off by 2% at 75.5% RH this does not mean it is off by 2% at 40% RH. (If you calibrate several hygrometers of the same design you will get good agreement between them over a wide range, but they won't have the accuracy that this precision would suggest for RH far from 75%.)"

Hmmm…. I hadn't considered that. Just because I'm off at 75%, doesn't mean I'm the same amount off at 40%

And now for some Wednesday silliness: TECHNO CHICKEN
Found this great youtube video of an old Domino's commercial - great realistic chicken sounds & cute hen as the star:

Well... $#^#a duck.
