Eggs had a plane trip. Lets see what happens. I HAVE BABIES. and PICS.

[Happy Chooks]

I've hatched both ways, and I really like hatching in the egg cartons. (paper cartons) I had a much better hatch this way and the eggs were not being kicked around by the chicks that had already hatched. Out of 11 viable eggs (had 13 in there but 2 had died before lockdown) I hatched 10. I'm not sure why the one that did not hatch died. It had pipped, then died. The chick looked fine when I opened the egg, so who knows.

I have to say I am sorry about the mistake I made in this post. I don't know why I typed day 17 instead of 18!

Yes I'm a MAJOR goofball!

lol im not going to tempt you i think your doing a brave thing and i already said no to gus they are just to special for a home made or the simple bator im using i would feel bad if they didnt hatch i saw someone selling 12 for £200 the other day i would rather he sold the eggs and kept the money than me have them and mess them up and i doubt a plane journey in the holds would do eggs very good either

That was hilarious. I like the contorting one! I need to go finish the rest of the post now that I have stopped laughing.

Guinea Fowl galore... are the eggs you are hatching Light Sussex, silkie and Wyandottes? I saw your pics of the older Sussex. Aren't they the sweetest birds? I love mine! But I love all my birds.

Thanks for "What my Mother taught me" I really enjoyed that.

Yes, There are light Sussex, silkies, silver laced Wyandotte and some Wyandotte bantams.
I absolutely LOVE my light sussex cross ? birds. They are the only breed I have had so far ( apart from glen and rose ) so I can't really compare them to anything yet but I just love their personality it's so sweet and gentle and caring
