Granny's gone and done it again

Camp the Hona's are the black chickens? right?

They lay little eggs?

Depends on how far along they are. If no veins, I'll bring them in. If veins, I'll spread them around to the broodies and put them in the bator. Hopefully I can get a few for granny.

If they have already started growing...how do you go about mailing those?
(is that what you mean when you say get a few for granny?)

No, I'm hoping some will lay Monday. Would be interesting to see if a week-old embryo could survive shipping. Kathy left her on the kitchen counter for a full week and still for 100%

Yep. They're little birds! Bigger than bantams, but smaller than everything else.

Oh... I did not know they were little ones.
I just assumed they were big girls.

Jane...the picture from earlier today...the grandkids...
The grandson is the dad of the baby?
Is the girl on the left the mom or your DD?

They have GREAT. BIG. attitudes! Cocks are supposed to be 4 lbs and hens are smaller. I bet little Gyda is under 2 lbs.

I guess its like a crock pot. cooks hotter and can be used for a lot of other stuff. pancakes, ect..
They were falling apart tender but not tons of flavor.

Candled all the eggs, got ate up by mosquitoes. Looked to be two stages of development. I gave the box broody 8 eggs that look to be 7 +/- days. I gave the corner broody 6 eggs that look to be 3-4 days. One egg was much father along, gave that to Cinder because it looked close to hers. Several blood rings that I'm guessing were developing then cooled as they were pushed aside for more eggs. One still had a decent sized embryo wriggling but no veins, all blood ring. I hate when I find that. like finding it dead before it knows that it died.

But good news: several look fresh enough to ship! e
