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

One of my Brahma Mammas! Pure sweetness too!

She is very pretty. I am working to get my hens back to their pretty selves. I have a feeling I am going to have lock the rooster up in solitary so their feathers can grow back. Even with hen saddles they look beat up and plucked.

Mine are getting terrible as well, the roos seem to like my gold hens more than blue though.

I sent my roo down the road, and the roo got put in lock down for being to busy

Ive got one hen that they keep plucked. I had one other but they started leaving her alone and her feathers grew back in.

No more weak chicks. About 3 that still have fluffed feathers but they are eating like theirs no tomorrow. I added apple cider vinegar to all my water last night DVD everything seems extra perky today.

I've got to separate my ducks and geese from the chickens. They won't leave the water alone. They spill more than gets drank. Time to build set the separate pens back up.

I just realize that in most cases $15. does not cut it to ship eggs! I am averaging $16.-$18 bucks a pop! I need to figure out how to double box on a smaller scale, average weight for 14 eggs is 4lbs packed in bubblewrap and double boxed!

Speaking of shipping...I finally remembered to take a picture of the shipping method that I am most impressed with. Not one messed up air-cell in the lot of them. They were big end up and stabilized and cushioned really well, and they could still breath.
