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

[Gardeningmama]

Gonna go do it! If I do, will I then have to help it out, or can it still possibly zip on its own?

Another note: The chick that hatched 2 days earlier than everyone else, will NOT leave them alone. Keeps pecking at their beaks, and made the 1 Brahma bleed

. I put all the newbies in a basket in the temp. tank, but my goodness, can't any of this just be easy?

If you simply make a small hole, it should be able to hatch on it's own.

It's snowing again.

This should not be happening in May.

Yea, I just think of the wasted $45. That could have gotten me my 100ft of wire I need to finish fencing the roos side of the area I'm working on.

What kind of eggs? Maybe one of us can send you more? I only have a few breeds, but others on here have everything. Sorry to hear that

Sally- good luck today! I'll text you later.

Have a great weekend, everyone! I'll catch up properly. So sorry for all the bad news

Congrats on babies! I got chicks in the mail today! Woot! Dependig on what Sally has, I am gonna have a full house! Holy crap!

What? No eggs, Sal? Oh, who are you kidding! You just wanna move up to bigger & more badazz birds! My eggs are like stepping stone eggs, and you moved way past that now! Haha! Peacocks she says.... I'll have OE. Only a few right now.

Quote: I finished a huge chick coop yesterday. They will have a 16x16 area for a while to themselves, Then I have two more areas the same size to split them up by breed when they start out growing the first area.

Hello all! I'm back online, finally after a battle to get internet. Drove over to the next town yesterday to get a dongle, it didn't work (turned out DH didn't put the voucher in to activate it

) Got a friend to go buy us another different dongle which I found is not "compatible". So a few phone calls later I organised a technician to come to us within a few days to install in on my laptop. Free of charge obviously. Not telling them I got the other dongle working since I spoke to them so we don't really need it anymore...

Hey, it's Africa, back-up's good!

Got a lot to tell, but I don't want to bore you all to death. It sucks to be back and nothing's changed really. And we're moving on again next week to our "while we are stuck in SA" accommodation. Good news is I got my incubator here intact! The customs were so slack in Dublin and Istanbul and we walked right past them "nothing to declare" in Cape Town with all sorts of prohibited items in our bags. LOL Darn if I knew that I'd have brought eggs with!! I probably would've pulled it off too. Seriously, they barely looked at our hand luggage and missed all sorts of things. Ahh well.

I see I am 100's of posts behind here so I'm not going to read through all of them, not now anyway. Did I miss anything interesting? And how are you all?

glad you are back

cooda wooda shooda on the eggs
