My babies are here!!! Just got back to work from dropping them off. Oh my, I wasn't expecting them to be so big. I'll get pictures later!!!

Bettacreek, I'm so sorry to hear about your situation.

Hoping all goes well for you.

Hope everyone's birds show up in great shape!

Congrats!! Hope we all get our babies today - safe and sound! By this evening I hope we are all showing off pictures!!

I'm to the point of crying. I've had a bad headache today, so didn't check the incubator, which usually isn't a problem, but it just so happened to spike to 122. All 90 eggs are dead! I had my turkeys' first eggs, the last hopes of pekin duck eggs from my now dead drake, an assortment of eggs from the chicken ladies, and of course paint silkies, hen's choice silkies from the same person, my buff D'Uccles and BCM's from Ayeupchuck! Ninety babies in there and all dead now.

I feel so selfish for not checking it this morning. I know they're "just eggs" but I had just pulled all of the infertiles, so there were two flats of definitely fertile eggs, most close to hatch, plus all of the now grey blobs that were going to be babies in the newly set eggs. I feel like a mass chick murderer.

Don't feel so bad when you checked the incubator the temperature might have been fine and spiked later. We can only try our best.

Rec'd my eggs from Ray-n-Debi. Plenty of extras. Great packaging. All eggs arrived safe and sound.

Everyone please say a prayer for my mom, she had a mild heart attack sunday morn. I"ve got her in the hospital and she seems to be doing a lot better tonight. I know things have to get better soon

I hope she is feeling better!

OH MY Oh My..Too everyone having a horrible time and needing prayers...I wish you much luck and lots of prayers for you..Moms, missing chicks...jobs...crappy bators ...health...hugs!!!!

Have to euthanize one of the bresse cockerels and have him necropsied. Also bringing two pullets to have bloodwork done. Having a hard time with this. I feel really naive right now. I wanted these birds so badly and I just feel helpless.

Oh, Heather, I am SO sorry! I know how badly you want them to be ok.

Hugs and prayers going out to everyone that is having issues right now. Both birdy and family. Big hugs!!


I got my first pair of jubilee orpingtons today. I must say I am in LOVE!!! lol I'm ready to trade in the bresse for more of these guys. Hubby says keep them both. lol He is the worst enabler!!

Found my birds. They are in Hazlewood, MO. They are marked "mis-sent" I called and they said that meant the address was correct, but they "accidentally" took it somewhere else. In order to get to me today they will have to send a truck to Hazlewood (hour and a half one way) and bring them to me. They said there was a chance of that because they get in hot water for such a big mistake. It's going to be a long day....

Was CPL really ok with the eggs? I wanted to do something nice for her. Now you need to tell me what you would like (that I would not have to order from GFF

) to thank you for all you have done for me.

Yes, Rachael was just fine with the surprise-HONEST! She said she was really wanting more SF anyway, since she has a little roo with no hens.

And you do NOT need to send me anything!

I got my Peafowl on Friday!

3 cocks and 5 hens-all FREE! They are all India Blue, I believe. Do they do best in pairs, or can you keep 3 hens and one cock?
