Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

It's those West Coasters! They chat late into the night...which gives me something to read when my dogs wake me up at 6am on a Sunday!

Had not thought of that! I do the same. Get up = make coffee - Catch up on what I missed last night. This site has become a regular part of the day.

Same here. M DH does his Jeep Forum stuff, I do BYC.

Keep your fingers crossed and please don't bid against

Good luck. I'll have my fingers and toes crossed for you!

My broody hen has a good thing going on right now. She sits there all day until the other hen that is laying needs to lay. Then broody gets up and enjoys a half hour of freedom while the EE lays her egg- Ee chirps loudly when done, broody comes running back. I exchanged the 7 infertile eggs that accumulated under broody for three BCM that DMRippy sent me (she sent me 9 THANK YOU, so 6 went to the Bator). I am sitting out in the coup waiting for the switching of the guard after a new egg is laid, so I have a super fresh egg to make banana bread
I have perfected a banana bread recipe, if anyone wants a couple loafs for a swap!
Anyway, its cool to see the coordination between hens.

I also wanted to tell you guys my 19 month old got back into my incubation closet again last night (must install latch, the door doesn't latch on its own... So I think he just figured out he just has to pull it open) and killed my two LF Cochins that just went into lockdown. He threw them on the floor One looked perfectly developed for day 18, and the other looks a little less, but I guess it could have been a late bloomer. I am glad he didn't get the four BCM that AyeUpChuck sent me, but I wanted those Cochins!

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that. Sounds like you definitely need a latch.

So Sorry -

You know he didn't mean it.... Still a sad thing.

I was wrong about the BCM, he must have gotten ahold of two of them because the shells are cracked.
I guess I should just add more humidity and hope for the best???

Oh

Oh no, just curious. It's weird though, after months of hatching in the same closet, he's never done it before.
