Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

[chirpingcricket]

Survived the night. It was a rough night for the mid west. I spent the last 2 days cleaning out the garage so I could get my car in. I was prepared except for the whole where will we hide thing. Every spring I swear we are going to get a storm shelter. I have been in Oklahoma for 13 years and am originally from Texas. So I have seen a few storms. Prayers for the people of Shawnee, OK where they were hit pretty hard.

I am off to try and break a broody or give her something besides golf balls...

Certainly sending prayers that way, soo much damage/loss. . . glad to hear you're OK.

i have 18 goose eggs for my trip. my best bud in the phils has 70+ scovies so there will be 5 or 6 broodies minimum.

i may give one 8 eggs and have bernie hand turn the rest in a bator

Just got a text from bernie. one of our january hatches has started to lay eggs, woohoo. i am only going to be on the farm 48rs but will only be eating duck chicken and eggs from the farm

it is working

it is really working!!

I have 2 broody local hens too - they will get the 1/2 the guinea fowl and 1/2 the barred rock eggs look after. If my brother in law has a broody, she will get the golden sebrights - they are for him anyway.

My buddy has 4 broody scovies - they will get the 15 scovy eggs and 18 goose eggs between them.

now I cant sleep with excitement

Chickens can hatch ducks eggs, so I can't see why a "duck" can't hatch goose eggs. Give it a shot.

How many eggs do you need still? LOL 300 is a lot, but it would be awesome if you could pull that one off. Poor Bernie would have his hands full though, with all those chicks. But it sounds like he's enjoying this.

That's wonderful Oz! Oh, I'm so happy for you! After all that hard work and effort you get to enjoy the fruits of your labour now. Enjoy it!!
