calling any one from missouri

I cant get anymore layers till I find some buyers for my eggs! My cardiologist has limited me to 3 eggs a week, yeah right Doc.....lol
Lot of people are starting to get on board with more naturally raised food - farmers markets, free range, organic, soy free, etc. and lets talk FRESH! Eggs are about the easiest to produce or sell.

Oh, and if you just want to enjoy it and take tax deductions - can always donate extras to food pantries.
 
Shoot when we moved out here as soon as I put my sign up saying eggs for Sale I had people coming out of the wood work wanting eggs. Know I have people still wanting them but Im in full bloon hatching mood so no eggs to sell. So I have decided to pretty soon just make a laying flock lol that is hard for me I will still want to hatch them. Im a hatch aholic.

we arn't to far away from each other im sure if you put up a sign after short while you will be needing more eggs then you could supply them with. i get 2.00 a dozen here and when I used to have hubby take them to work for people to pick them up at his work in the city I would get $3.00 helped cover costs allot more to produce them.

Getting me a sign!!!! LOL
 
We have cold temps and rain coming. Today is the last nice day for awhile! Got some running to do. I have a good heat lamp out in the nursery so I am sure the babies will be fine. I need to get a picture of my RIR Polish cross. This is one crazy looking chicken

I dont go into lockdown till next week on Monday. Chicks due to hatch 1 week from today! I candled my frizzles last night and I had lost 1. You could see the chick but all the veins were gone, no movement, and you could see some kind of gel in with the chick. So Now I am down to 5 for hatch. On my 15 Tolbunts, I have 8 confirmed fertile. You can see the embryo and blood vessels! I have 6 that all you can see are the blood vessels. I am afraid to turn it much as the air cells are still very wonky. I had one clear non fertile that I removed. The 2nd bunch of Tolbunts (8) go in the turner today. The aircells in them look much better.

Yeah but atleast the temps are going to stay above freezing at night so that will help allot of things. I know our pastures have been liking the rain but also need the warmer temps to get it really growing good. I currently have light and silver sussex hatching and next is more rouen ducks this weekend and then another batch of silkies and marans go on lock down this weekend. lol i had planned on keeping many of the marans but have odd color gene popping out again so have to wait to keep any until I d some test mating to see who or how many are producing it. Never a dull moment with marans. I also have 2 swedish flower eggs set to hatch but not sure since its only 2. stacking the threads looking for what Im after to trade some of my good stuff for other good stuff. Like birchen marans, SFH, CCLB, and maybe Breese. lol

Yeah the liquid gel in the egg is the fluid from it dieing and sometimes means humidity is to high. I have been running into that with so many back to back hatches trying to get the happy medium in my cabinet incubator. but still having great hatchs whith this dickey think it was the best investment I ever made.
 
I GOT MY EGGS TODAY!!!!! Whoo!!!! So excited to get home so I can get them ready to be settled in tomorrow! 21 days and I should have some Faveolles and Bantam choc Orps!! I think I'll throw in a few of my flock eggs and see how many I get this time around.

Love rhis hatching business!

I dont think it is humidity, the other 5 eggs look perfect. Humidity ben running 30-35% since day one. Must have been something wrong with the chick. Plus these are shipped eggs, anything could have happened! I refuse to look at the auction threads!!!!! LOL I know I have my hands full here trying to get 3 hatches out!
