Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

Also how can anyone suggest shipping the birds back after they have already been stressed to the max been in the mail since Tuesday they would most definately not make the trip back. I also don't think they would be skin in bones from just being in the mail for a few days.

Yup! The kids get to pop all the bubble wrap that comes in. Gives me a few minutes to get eggs unwrapped without them tearing the rest of the house apart.

I agree with Madam, and of course you Reese.

On a funny note I've been wrapping eggs and dealing with naughty monsters. I think they need a bird shipping box.

. Tiny Timmy, Alex's little guy, is my muffin thief from yesterday. He's found that popping bubble wrap is fun.

Sonny would willingly label the shipping carton to get rid of him.

We have three more loud mouths down in the basement that Sonny has taken to calling turdeys. I think she's trying to say turkey, but who knows with her.

Awww..... How cute, I can't let my Cockatiel (Pearl) out when I am wrapping my eggs cause she will eat the bubble wrap and the box.

I have a question for all you breeders out there. I already know the answer I think but want to see what others think. I have the brahma chicks which range in color from white, blue columbian to straight blue. Most are looking great, the whites are stunning. The blues, I have noticed 2 have what appear to be vulture hocks. It's pretty evident when it looks like they have wings on their legs. Correct me if I am wrong but I'm assuming these won't magically go away as they age. The others have nice soft feathers. So I take it these 2 need to be culled. Culled as in put down, not rehomed for someone else to breed. I really prefer to put down any genetically wrong bird so it doesn't have a chance to pass on the genes. Is this what others would do?

cull if they show genetic faults. We will only rehome pet quality egg layers locally to yards we know just want the eggs (like most towns that dont permit roos)

I'm with Tiny Timmy, popping bubble wrap is fun!!!

Ya, but not the stuff I need!

He can pop all the old stuff he wants, but he likes the stuff I'm working with the best.

. That's Sonny agreeing. Her head goes up and down so fast it makes a blurring pic.

If the feathers are stiff, like flight feathers, they won't go away and they are vulture hocks. I have ony dealt with Cochins, but I assume it is the same. I also have had Cochins sprout the hock feathers before others and tricking me to believe they have vulture hocks, but they weren't te stiff feathers, and when they filled out, it looked right. My birchen cochin roo has vulture hocks, which is why I don't breed my Cochins (until I can get a good male) but my husband likes "doodle do" so we keep him.
