Flocks,

That is a wonderful offer. Thank you so much. I will send your SBB out probably the end of the week. I have an order to ship to Krafty and then you get the rest of the week's production.

I am so sorry about everyone's losses! I have been very sad reading the posts this morning.
Awww, I wonder why they're not hatching for you?

Maybe when I gather the courage to ship chicks I can send some to you. I shipped juveniles, but I haven't been brave enough for chicks yet.

It is just odd. I would think PO issues, but this is from three different people in three different areas in two different incubators with everything else hatching just fine. Do they take a drier or wetter hatch?

I finally got the two I got because I didn't turn the eggs at all for the first five days they were incubating. Ronott gave me that tip on shipped eggs.

It isn't like I am chicken deprived. LOL I have chicks and breeds galore already and lots more coming whenever I start back hatching. It is just frustrating that I can't get this one breed to hatch. I even had wonderful success with the only Marans I have tried to hatch.

It seems it is always the breeds that you want the most, that you either ...can't hatch and or keep alive.

How did she get the name "Heather?"

oh, gosh...I honestly don't want to tell you because there are so many nice people named "Heather" here, but remember that movie "Heathers"? well I decided when we first got chickens that chicken politics were alot like high school. and my 3 welsummers were definitely the top of the pack and I named them Heather 1, 2 &3. and I have a black EE named Veronica.

THAT IS SO AWESOME. I loved that movie. Best set of names I've heard in a long time. You're so cool.

YES! You'd receive a few blues as well as olives. The F1s from the Am eggs lay a really lovely olive.

Sent you a PM!

Just watched this video on Chick Resuscitation and was absolutely amazed!!! 

My son watched this and well he's nine so he started shouting " mom mom look zombie chickens!" And then" we should have did that with Rosie."

Rosie was his very favorite RIR that died last summer. Great now he has zombie chickens on his list.

That was truly amazing though!

I need some advice regarding my puppy, Tommy. He's a 6 month old Great Pyrenees/Akbash mix. So, he's about 60ish pounds. He lives outside with the chickens and has been great with them. About a week ago he started chasing them. He catches them by the tail feathers. As soon he gets them, they squat for him, and he just stands over them, waiting for them to run again so they can play "tag". Earlier I saw him trying to drag one out of the coop (which he can't get into). Moving him or separating him from the chickens isn't an option.

Complicating this is the fact that my stupid EE rooster has started attacking me, so when I'm in the yard, if he starts to charge me, Tommy stops him by standing between us. (The rooster is not long for this world.)

The problem is that he doesn't chase them when I'm outside with them, take him down at the point when he's doing it. I'm thinking my best bet is to teach him to obey "drop it" from a distance. Any other suggestions?
