[loveourbirds]

She was one I was selling at the swap at mt hope, I have a he. On a nest of about 14. Thank you anyways but if you are into swapping eggs next spring let me know, mine are midget whites

I will gladly swap with you when your ready. all I have in turkeys are blue slates and standard bronze. I am a member of NPIP so that helps us both out.

Ouch. My last wisdom tooth. Look at the curved root. It's holding bone that came out with it. Ouch. I'm high as a kite.

Well I guess you are no longer a wise guy. Enjoy the drugs!

Ended up with 16 Marans hatching out of 23, total infertile 5 and 2 died without pipping. Buyer took them right out of the hatcher when dried.., which mean no pics..

Do all the hard work and then they are whisked away?!?!?! . I hope they had somewhere warm to put them on the way home!

It was in the high 90s here today, very warm in cars. loved watching them hatch.. if I can buy from the same seller then I will probably do it again.

YOU "was" here, u has the goods! and tell me you FORGOT 50 something bob white eggs! DOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't have another turner other than yours,

Chad learned tonight that 100 degrees in a still air was causing ALL HIS HATCHES to fail.
Chad says he cant read, wondering how he makes due on this site???
Chad there is a great hatching 101 article for you to read, its ALWAYS in my siggy!
but wait, I see how you think..... Sally has my bator now so she must hatch chicks!

I love hatching yes, but tired of cleaning brooders and worryin over chicks.

DONT FORGET about those chukar! they cant tolerate cold they need it 99 degrees the first week, No lower!

DOH? Why Sal?
And actually it was 99.5 like the thermometer said.....(why because I didn't want my chicken wife=YOU to yell at me)
Chad scans....way too much to read
Why read when I can call and pester you?
Chad is ready for a bird break...unless I happen to stumble on some peacock or fancy pheasant eggs...

And the baby chukars are doing very well. One may not make it.

I feel bad for the poor hen that laid this one. I think it's the Cornish X, but not positive.

I felt a part of me clench looking at that.

Ouch. My last wisdom tooth. Look at the curved root. It's holding bone that came out with it. Ouch. I'm high as a kite.

I bet that really smarted!

Ok so here is where we are guys
Chicks all in one brooder happy and looking healthy
40 Eggs in at 6:21 am at a temp of 102 & humidity of 45 so that looks great I put place mats in the bottom of the bator with lots of vent holes in the material so they get air through the floor .and last but not least my cat had 3 kittens under my bed so I won the bet lol
