I just got them last night. I will have to try it tomorrow they have found a tree. I am just so upset because the got out.

It is easier at night when they are ready to roost. And yes, treats get their attention.

I am looking around for some bantam eggs that I could hatch.
I have an incubator and two young children who would like to see baby chicks hatch.
I would purchase the eggs and be willing to return the poults if you would like.
I am only interested in six eggs, we live in knox county, tennessee so I could drive to you and pick up the eggs.
I wanted to do this in late March to early April.
Please let me know if you are interested.

There are quite a few people who have bantams here...I am sure someone can help you out. If you are waiting til end of March I will probably have silkie eggs available which do well with children. Others here have Belgium D'Uccles, Seramas as well as other smaller breeds. Glad to see a new face..and welcome to our thread. We are one big family here and be sure to plan on attending some of our picnics we have during the warm months!

Hello fellow East Tennessee people! I just received a late Christmas present, a Brinsea OVA 380. Does anyone have any pure hatching eggs available? I don't want to order any that have to be shipped, it is just so rough on them!

I am selling my two little incubators to buy eggs and chicks to get my flocks built up, so if anyone has eggs, message me! I live in Elizabethton, but I am always up for a drive!

Congrats on the new incubator. I will have some eggs about the end of march....BUT...they come with an agreement. I will give you the eggs but any chicks of a certain color you get come back to me and you keep the rest for free.
I have barred rocks and am working on blue rocks.

Does that block them from PMing you or from seeing their posts? I've never thought of blocking someone on here and wonder what good it does?

Oh, so my hens stopped laying weeks ago. I stopped looking for eggs, well I've been letting them out to help the ground dry up and I always count them because I make sure they didn't find somewhere else to sit. They were all in the coop last night and I had a pile of 9 eggs just sitting in the nest box... DOH!! I feel so dumb! I was getting sad about not having any eggs.

Correction: 14 eggs! GAH!
