First Time Hatching....Round 2

[youngbiddy]

Kathryn, have you thought of Salmon Faverolles? They're another breed I'm thinking about, super sweet, good layers, and quite pretty.

I can't wait to see how your hatch turns out! I hope it is awesome! Keep us updated.

I hope so too; I'm trying not to bite my nails, here. I'm going to candle them all tomorrow afternoon and put them in lockdown. Everything seems fine, but now that I've got huge air cells I'm freaking out that maybe they're too big and my poor little babies are mummies. They can't be, they can't be, they can't be..*she muttered to herself as she ran in circles wringing her hands*

This incubating/hatching stuff is stressful.

They are so dang pretty. My neighbor actually has raises lots of Salmon Faverolles, so I could always just go beg her for some eggs.

I got out bid twice today!!

Once on some really nice looking BCMs and the others were lavender ameraucanas.

Seriously I think I am destined to not get any eggs!! I wish some breeder would just take pitty on me and sell me some without the whole "auction" thing.

Side note I found some really pretty chocolate Orpingtons (from imported lines) for sale online. Guess how much an egg??................ $300.00!!!
and thats PER EGG!!

WOW!!!!

that is pricey! I am glad I have a friend 10 miles down road who breeds and sells me whatever eggs I want fairly cheap!!

She sells on Ebay I believe... and craigslist locally...

For $300.00 per egg you better get it gold plated. I thought the BLRW I just ordered were pricey but they were what I really wanted. I'm going to pick them up early next week and set them with the turkey eggs. I hope they do as well or better then the first batch.

Ok I am hoping to win some Salmon Dorkings

only 1 hour left on the auction.

 

[youngbiddy]

I know this is a while to wait, but as soon as my BCM's start laying I'll send you some eggs.

Edit: Unless you're the person who just outbid me on eBay.
