Oh goodness RBF... good luck with that neighbor... why do city people move the the country?? Around here we had a bunch of peeps from LA (city CA people), move to some of the small town valleys around Jackson Hole during the building boom, and they would go to the city building and complain about their the dirt road they lived on not getting plowed within 10 minutes of the snow falling... duh... they don't plow the roads on rural roads first, if you don't like it, don't live there, sheesh
I am well over 500 posts behind... so I had to skip some pages , here goes my attempt at commenting...lol
Read about the shipping and prices and dry ice, interesting....
My Australorp EE's and Delawares have been champion layers this winter... even when it was below zero....(somebody asked about that a couple of days ago)
Sooooo sorry RBF about those eggs that got scrambled, literally in the mail, oh my that is sad!!
Oh.... COF when you talked about the launches it made me homesick for FL.... DH LOVED going and watching the launches when we lived in Orlando.. he would look up the schedule and try to arrange his work schedule so he could go sit out there and watch... man, that was amazing!!
Another reverse swap for Easter????? YAYAYAYAYA!! When will it be??
Yay for Madamwlf's birds!! (I sent a PM BTW with name suggestions)
snapnzap.. good job on roasting your first homegrown turkey!!
Oh... and so sorry for those of you in the path of the storms... yikes!!! Glad you are all safe!!
We had a snow day here on Monday... we got about 8 inches of snow here... One of the local ski resorts got 27 inches that day!!
I mentioned earlier, but my late night posts seem to get missed at times... any of you happen to visit Yellowstone, give me a holler... I live about 1.5 hours from one of the entrances, 1.5 hours from Jackson Hole the other way around the mountains.. all of the decent hotels are here where I live or Jackson Hole, but the price in Jackson will be twice as much sometimes... plus we have more shopping here
Long, busy week. Glad it's the weekend!
Update on my Muscovy, they never really moved beyond the internal pip stage. All but 3 of the 9 internally pipped, then nothing. I waited for a couple days, checked eggs and seemed like half were dead, half still moving but no peeping, no pipping and it was heading into the 3rd day since internal pipping. I made tiny holes and peeked in, the ones that looked dead were dead. The ones that were still moving (5) showed internal pips, did not appear too dry or wet, one had completely absorbed its yolk, two weren't quite absorbed, and two were upside down in the egg.
I opened the top on the one that was fully cooked and put him back. I opened the tops and gently rotated the chicks until the heads were up on the two, left the other two alone. Next day no progress, popped the tops on the them and left them, misted and nice humidity. Next day I had 3 happy chicks out, the two that were upside down had absorbed their yolks and heads were out, but had died.
Really didn't want to help them, sat on my hands until half of them died, but did manage to save 3. Not sure why they didn't pip externally. None looked too moist or too dry, they were spot on for weight loss during incubation. I'm just glad to have the three. Here they are, a couple days old now:

As others said they are sterile, eggs dont travel well at all so you are just tossing money away on them
Quote: SOOOOO exciting!! Now I have to warn, the Dewlaps are 100 times calmer and quieter than the sebastopols. We have the dewlaps out front now during the day and they dont even honk when visitors pull in. When the Sebastopols are out there they announce every visitor when they pull in. BOTH are calm and quiet though, the sebbies will cover more ground in a day than the dewlaps.
Oh the face on that chocolate ducklingLong, busy week. Glad it's the weekend!

Good morning!! Chilly morning here. Everyone has fresh water now and I trimmed some butts too. Good gracious, no wonder my roo wasn't fertilizing the eggs. He had the must fluff of them all. Took quite a bit of trimming on him.
