Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

Kind of, but I want the inside enclosed, like a shed type deal. Solid walls, and then just wire keeping the different pens seperate. Like what our SPCA has for the dogs, but with chicken mods, lol.

And who knows what I would get to love if I didn't live in VA

It is really mucky here this week! I wish if it was going to snow it would actually snow instead of this slushy mess!

I'm getting NPIP started and will fill out the VA paperwork as soon as I get my number!

Yeah..... I was all worried about having a girl until a friend said "oh no honey the boys understand the mom stare and back down, the girls..... They just think its funny!"

Finally all caught up with the day's thread. I don't remember anything that I read though so I don't know that it did me any good to read all of the threads

Busy day at work today, until now...

So much for getting multiple batches of jam done. Finally found the kitchen under the piles of dishes from last night, got the jars clean, made the first batch and then didn't want to messy the kitchen after I had already cleaned it twice. So, one batch of blueberry low-fructose jam done.

Totally lacking the motivation to memorize the 30 plants for my plant id quiz tomorrow. blech. I'd much rather get sucked into BYC threads and stalking the swap thread.

If you can email me a few photos to work with I can definitely draw something up! Just email them to [email protected]

As far as the carriers, I think to get to the east coast without having to send a massive box a flat packed kit will be easiest. We'll see how much it costs to send to MD first

Have you looked at sending those UPS ground? Id imagine it would be cheaper and not much slower. Unless you are sending parcel post, but I'm always paranoid pp will get lost. IIRC the break point is about 5 lbs, unless the box is so bulky that post office charges extra.

I have a few pictures for you guys. First, can you tell me what kind of chicken this white one is? A local lady gave them to me claiming the eggs where gold laced sebrights

it is about three weeks old

And this is a LF cochin that Kraftyladies have me, from an egg she hatched from acechix. It's a splash, but will she be frizzled? She is about two weeks old - probably too soon to tell?

Some of those feathers look like they are turning up. Mind you I have only raised like 6 frizzled birds so I am sooo not an expert!

I am so excited! My cream legbars started laying again ! I got an egg a few days ago but it was so much bigger then what she was laying when she stopped I assumed it was an easter egger egg that was an odd color ( they are more green tinted then what my ee's usually lay) But I found one of the girls in the act of sitting on one of them.. and another just getting off hers!

Now to check fertility! Orlando you better be rocking the socks off these eggs boy.

HELPPPP!!! I should getting the eggs in lockdown today. Since the humidity has stayed around 37 or so--dry hatch--I started adding the warm water and made sure the plugs were out like the instructions say. After 2 hours, this is where I stand:

I had it at 68 and it is steadily dropping...on 63 now. The bottom trays have water with a wet washcloth draped across them. There are two wet maxi pads also under the bottom. On the rack with the eggs, I have two baby food jars of water with sponges and two additional 1 in x 1.5 in sponges sitting on the bottom. What else can I do? I can't ruin them!

Does it matter which? And will there be enough air circulation?
