I took a picture of the Toads from the other days hatch. I was wondering is any of you can pick the toads out of the chicks..

Giant white ones?

ummmm did you request how you wanted them collected and shipped? no? oh the shameeeeee seriously I am sorry but you gotta ask if they wont do it as you request then dont buy the eggs, simple nuff! I was going to purchase icelandic eggs from someone a state up and they wouldnt send upright yet alone double boxed, so said sorry no deal.

I found these cool foam egg shippers. But they are a tad spendy..

Yeppers, the little white guys are legbars.



When I look in the brooder they are huge compared to the hatch mates.

I am so sad

The restaurant that Bill and I had dinner at after we got married is closing its doors as of 2/19

It is on top of the Ren Cen in Downtown Detroit and has the most fantastic food and view. But I geuss real eastate in the city is at a premium high right now and people aren't spending the kind of money on dinners often enough these days for them to renew their lease. Guess we will be going out for an early anniversary dinner and getting dressed up after all

I am sure you will find a new fantastic place to eat, what did you guys order that night?

lol reminds me of chicks I ordered once and they threw cornish x in there for heat, but I had no clue what they were, they were huge compared to the others.

I did not weigh those outside this week. But I am pretty sure they are over a pound.


These guys aren't a half pound yet, They are just a few days old.

trouble with those are sometimes the eggs can fall through if they are cut all the way through, I had a mess one time with them. And quail eggs I sent in one were a mess, I felt terrible.
