EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[BantyChooks]

No, haven't had duck eggs in a month. Beside, I've started culling so I don't need any at the moment. I almost bought chukar eggs, there was a dozen that went for a dollar.

I think you all have laws down there against having a duck free incubator... Don't you?

Even if they aren't in place yet, it's still shameful. Get those dux eggs in the bator.

Banty! I set 18 gold laced Wyandotte eggs this morning.


Ralphie, look I'm incubating real birds.

Those are the kind of chickens I wanna get! I seen some at our local September days animal show and fell in love with them! Are they very good layers?

If you get them, go heritage. Hatchery Wyandottes are often aggressive, and in my experience, poor layers.

No. Couldn't find any!

They are gorgeous aren't they!

I haven't had a problem with hatchery Wyandottes, the ones I've had have all been very calm and friendly and pretty decent layers. (Can't say yet for the SLWs since they're only three month old)

Are they taking a break?

Are they taking a break?

Yeah, I think they were going through their summer molt, they should be about done now.

The nerve of those laying machines.

 

[Pensmaster]

Ya know it's hot out when... the flies leave.

 

[dan26552]

Didn't take long to calm him down. Though he still jumps when I move.

I know right! At least the new chickens are laying, I've gotten five eggs in the two days I've owned them.
