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

[hillfloweranch]

No outright saying NO, but the lady that came last night......

here is this weeks story...

Sunday I had a lady message me wanting a few silkies, I said its first come first serve (learned my lesson on holding even for a week!)
I asked her to call or text before she came Tues in case they are already sold. she said ok. Her son wants silkies to enter eggs in the local fair 4H.

In the mean time a lady that bought a ton of silkies and cochin last month called and asked what I have as she wants more of the partridge bluish silkies and whites or splash if available.
I told her I have 10 at various stages from a 4 weeks to last weeks hatch. I told her she could have all of them for 30 bucks, and I am giving her a pair of serama JUST BECAUSE
she loves chickens and I can tell.... last time she bought all the cochin and silkies I had, but there was one older roo that everyone kept saying no I cant have him he is a roo for sure. Well she felt so bad for this guy she said, I want to buy him too. Well in the end I gave him to her of course along with another splash hen! Like I said I made money on them, since they were my own eggs, not much but I made the woman so happy and now she is coming for all these others! She drives 2.5 hrs one way to come here, and I told her if she wants them all she can even sell them and make a buck or two, good for her!

Kindness always pays you back, and if it don't the Good Lord sets all that straight on his own! Not that I am very religious but I do know what feels right and wrong, and I swear to myself no matter what I need to live by that!

Anyways, the lady text me and I told her the silkies are all sold, all I have is a few splash cochin and one blue cochin chick. She says ok I need to check with the son (7 year old lol) Well ends up my cell is wringing off the table, and here she is parked outside in her fancy car! Calling me and I see diamond bracelets dangling in the window.... I was like ok I know this will be fun. (usually this isn't what I see holding stinky chickens ya know) so I go down and say hello and show her the chicks and she gruntled her nose and told her son to hold it, well he took the exact same look and back away! So I showed her the silky pen and they loved them, and showed her the cochin pen. I basically talked them out of cochin and told her she should find a reputable breeder and find a great quality chicken that will do well in egg shows. I couldn't help her out because I know nothing of it. but I WAS glad to see them leave empty handed, but I think the chickens are still stunned by the smell of perfume and hairspray! Bawahhhhaaaaaaaaaa (not that I don't wear it Occasionally and in less quantity)

speaking of kindness sally...I would still like to send you some Blue Andalusian eggs...so if you want PM your address and I will start collecting for you next week to ship...if you're interested that is...I love these little guys and they are a lot of fun..they talk to you..it's sooo cute...and they are actually pretty friendly for Rare breed.

I would just as sooner soak the hen in a warm Epsom bath, that could have been sooo much worse hill!

. 3 out and 11 pips! Some are more like small zips. I know it's ok for the chicks to bumble around and knock the eggs but what if they tumble the egg and the pip gets turned face down? The chick in this picture just popped out of its shell I never even saw a zip. Henrietta's baby has yet to make an appearance and its the one I'm most excited about. Should be a buff Orpington, as long as it was HER egg in her favorite nest. Oh gosh I hope so!

awwwwww YAY!!!!!!!! CONGRATS!

Up to

You are such the enabler HILL!! we discussed this already! LOL! You are so very kind as well and I so love you for it! You Rock!

HOWEVER, I just cant! did you see my bator, DOUBLE STACKED and no end in site! I would only accept, if I pay shipping and GIFT them to a friend! This would in turn make me extremely Happy! Seems she has a very clean empty bator for some reason and I just cant figure out why!

I have one. And the small one with the container on top. But the long one I cut every other window out to make the opening twice as big when I was going crazy over the young ones in the grow pen throwing there food all. Which by the way didn't work. So now I might as well throw it in the trash. lol Have to get another one.
