Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

Quote: I would not worry at this stage, as peafowl eggs show veins later than chicken eggs. Anything at this stage is great news and by 12 days they should be "bursting" with veins if viable

Ducks are the most fun to candle. The eggs light up and the early development is amazing. I have been cautious with peafowl even though they are the same incubation length.

I did not want to toss such valuable eggs early.

Most had stable aircells and just the right shadowing to keep them.

My VERY FIRST BYC post is yours OZ. I've been lurking for months and I just read this WHOLE thread. I started last nite and it has taken me well over 10 hours. I haven't gotten anything done today so time to get up and do something. As a note I DON'T EVEN HAVE 1 CHICKEN! I have never had a chicken in my life. I am researching and checking to see if chickens are right for me. I live in suburbia and can have up to 10 hens. Of course they will be pets (If I decide) and we'll enjoy the eggs but not allowed to process them here and most likely couldn't do it myself anyway, I'm like that.

Just wanted to say I've enjoyed the thread and will keep watching. Not sure how to subscribe to threads but perhaps someone can let me know. Your home is lovely and your kids even better! Thanks for taking me on this crazy trip. I got hooked not believing someone could take eggs that far on a plane in baggage and then have them not break. I'm a believer now!

So hello from Eastern North Carolina!

Welcome to BYC

Not really - although once you have posted, you can easily follow a thread by selecting the drop down menu to select "I've posted" and if if an item in the list is highlighted bold, then you know there have been new posts.

Subscribing not only tracks the thread(s) to which you've subscribed, but is supposed to generate an e-mail notice of new replies to the thread.

I like looking on my profile page for updates rather then sorting all of the e-mail that i used to get

I read you have a problem with fire-ants and saw this article on Motherearth news: http://www.motherearthnews.com/home...m_source=iPost&utm_medium=email#axzz2ZKLqMuyC
Do not know how effective and do not know how big the problem is but maybe worth a try.

I enjoy your stories, thanks
