Candace, that stinks! Was that the first batch or the second? I don't remember now how long it's been since I sent them. Those were campines, right? I always get 100% hatch on them at home. I'd be happy to send some more.

Good evening all. We are going to try something different on x-mas eve 4-12 We are going to do a "backwards" swap. whoever is up their offer will be suspended at 4pm and re-instated at midnight, in other words it will be on hold. 

Then we are going to "backwards" swap

For example

I might offer $30 paypal

Then everyone will post what they have to offer for my $30 I will have 1/2 to pick something or let someone else try their luck. 

It will go like this

crazypetlady offer $30 paypal

Madamwlf offers 3 rotten goose eggs

crazypetlady PASS  

babymakes6 offers 6 infertile goose eggs

crazypetlady PASS 

KYTinpusher offers 100 Jubliee Orp eggs

crazypetlady MINE MINE MINE MINE all MINE

Then crazypetlady sends KYTinpusher $30 and KYTinpusher sends crazypetlady 100 jubliee orp eggs

Now KYTinpusher has the option of being up or she can pass it to the next person. 

We will pick who starts by using a random number generator. Those who want to play will guess a number between 1-100 and the closest will start the night. 

It may be really fun or  dud we will find out. If you have any questions PM me.

Here is the original post....I was curious myself. Sounds like fun!

I am very bummed. out of the last batch from CJ I had 5 NJ's developing and 3 CCL's. The power went out all day last week and just 2 NJ's hatched so far. I have left the rest in there after taking the 2 NJ's out (looks like boy and girl). I will wait a day more before calling it quits but just think it is wishful thinking. The one NJ male is a bit weak so am keeping an eye on him. It figures it would be shipped eggs as ALL my lavender F1's hatched along with my Light sussex.

Oh no, that is a bummer.

they are just late bloomers

It was the second set of Gold Campines. Thank you! I feel so badly for those poor babies. They were so close I thought they would be fine.

Why would shipped eggs be more fragile to temperature swings? Especially so close to lockdown?

But this little cutie made it through the power outage - a bantam Sicilian Buttercup that hatched this morning.

Okay, to those of you raising roaches, my chickens look at roaches the same way I do. Bluck!

So if they won't eat a common house roach, will they also snub dubia roaches?

oh no, I just saw an ebay auction for Madagascar HISSING roaches. Just want I want, roaches with attitude. Hissssss . . . . .
