Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

Cream spitz project chick
I have a friend who has gorgeous silver spitz but I'm not sure if she's sharing yet. I've been hatching a ton of her eggs and getting 90-100% hatch rates. She's also doing a cream spitz project.

That is Deanna, correct?

Yep! She's rad as are her little chickens!

Hey all! I have had a super busy day! I just caught up on this thread.
I received eggs from caj1985. I got a call at 9:30am from the post office. They were so tickled and excited by the eggs, handled them extra careful. Ah, I have an alibis in the local PO, always a good thing. I had to wait for my lunch at 1:30 to pick them up. That was a loooonnnggg morning. Picked them up then had to run back to work, which made for a loooonnnggg day. Anyhow, GREAT packing! They made it alive and well. Thank-you caj1985!!!!

I hate to say it, but I hate my first incubator. The Hova Bator is doing great, still, but that *explitive* Farm Innovator cannot hold a steady temp for anything. So....I just ordered another Hova Bator. I figured while I was at it I may as well head over to Brinsea and order an Eco Glow 20. I also found a coupon so got a 10% discount

I should have thought to do that for the bator.

That makes me feel so good. Even more so since I spent $30 to ship 18 eggs today..... Grr!

Good rules, although it must be hard when you need just two eggs to bake that batch of chocolate chip cookies for a late night snack and you are out of Costco eggs. Wouldn't you be tempted to break open a couple of yours to check fertility? .

Just the reason I have a lovely laying flock... Those store bought just aren't as tasty after you have the farm fresh.

Nope.... those are at the farm

I have done that though. Light marans eggs and really dirty one get eaten.



As for the LAYING pen.... that is another PEN.... They must be productive so they can feed themselves
