Put them into an egg flat raised on one end with the small end down. Put a pan of water close by to keep humidity up in the room. Turn the a quarter of a turn several times a day. Shipped eggs should never be more than 5 days old. If you do the previous things with the eggs, you can save them for about 15 days, with hatching problems more than fertility with the older eggs. The egg needs to have energy to hatch so time and shipping stress takes that energy away.

Ron I love that old western garden book...
 
I love it too! I have spent many hours looking through that bad boy.

Yep It helped me get where I am today. I used to water when I was younger at a Nursery ( Woolworth's Nursery) my dad ran the Nursery chain.
I would read that same book on many of my off hours. At the time of my test I scored the highest percentage on my plant idea they had ever gotten. That was many years ago though.
Thanks to that book...

Echo Valley feed store takes them. You don't get anything for them and they do sell them for $5.00 dollars. It is a last resort when you really need them gone. You will need to call ahead of time and ask if they have any empty cages (they fill up fast with unwanted chickens) and they will put your name on the cage with a hold sign.

I have two 15 week old buff EE pullets and two 12 week old black laced red Wyandotte pullets available. I am about a half hour away from you.
That is awesome! I usually buy my feed there, and I've seen them in the cages. We had planned on talking with them later this week when we had to go buy some more food. :)
Thanks! I also sent you a message about your pullets.

Thanks so much chickee! (and everyone else!)
 
We were looking at chicken breeds the other day and my husband saw the Jersey Giants and was extremely impressed with their size. We couldn't afford to feed them but he was impressed!
It is very impressive!

A little boy asked me if mine was a turkey once.

Although, it is true they take forever to reach full size (At least 2 years) and eat like broilers/meaties.
