I've moved to the 5250!!! Lol

a 5250 means lock-up for 14 days

whats the term for 3 weeks in a nut house? Maybe a whole bator cycle may break the spell.

For those of you caught up here and now have nothing to do, here is a great thread by someone who deserves the title Aussie Battler- An Australian, who is set against by hard working conditions and a tough environment, who perserveres despite the odds being stacked them.

My hat off to you Ben!!

i think I put you down for 15 but its a rough estimate - I will take what you've got - up to 4 days old - even those almost bantam size buff orps of yours.

Thanks Pig

when you put them side by side the buffs do look like bantams

with just 3 britt hens in the coop the max # of 4 day old britt eggs will be 12
so i'll put another dozen buffs in for ya , no point in shipping only a few eggs
i will keep all or atleast most of the females that i end up with from this 1st hatch of britts
after that i'll see if i can sell off a few breeding pairs for $30 a pop.
that should put me in some extra fence & feed money

time for bed
I have a guy comming by early tomorrow to buy
some 10 week old buff pullets before i head off to work

The eggs I won in the auction are from this breeder that won best breed.
