That was a little scary to click.........

Good morning everyone we r planning on building 2 chicken tractors today or 4, anyone got any great plans, I want to build something fictional and good looking, first to get the brakes finished on the truck

I think I would prefer to have something NON-fictional!

What would make eggs set on the 14th explode today. I walked in my house and could smell it. I checked and two eggs I had received on the 13th and set on the fourteenth exploded. I've never had this happen before. Especially this early. Got any ideas. I have a mess to clean.

If the eggs were old when they were sent, that would do it. I don't think I've ever had eggs explode on day 9!

That's the only thing I can think of, but these were from the swaps. I did ask them to hold off shipping until the eighth and they agreed, but I wouldn't think they held the eggs. Well I guess I wouldn't. I'm pretty upset, as this ruined a LOT of eggs. I got the incubator emptied and outside for airing and leaning. What a mess. I've never even had an egg explode in an incubator before. Had a hen have every egg she was sitting on go bad and some explode, but never in an incubator. It's just gross. I'm so made I could just cry.

Spent the morning at a chicken swap. I'm exhausted. Got rid of some chickens, so that was great. Someone was selling ex leghorns for $4 each. I almost bought some, but just couldn't do it. Also met a local silkied am breeder. I managed to not buy anything except for the two blue silkied Ams for new blood.
Also met a Emu breeder. He had a bunch for sale $50-$60 and I would have gone home with two if I had made a little more money. I guess that's a good thing.

DM keeps trying to convince me to build a coop that looks like a Dr. Suess house. That's pretty fictional. I've resisted so far.

I want to build a hobbit village.

I am so sorry to hear that! Never had a exploding egg, or a real stinker yet either. Not looking forward to the day. What are the chances of the eggs it was near being ok?

Someone in town makes these kids playhouses, they have one that has a round door and rounded roof, it is so cute. Your hobbit village idea reminds me of it. We have talked about buying it to use as a coop, but they want 1k for it. So not worth it!

Once again, Pysankygirl's Barnevelders are popping fast. And a day early. I checked this morning before beginning to clean cages. I saw one pip. By the time I finished all four cages, she was out and others were pipped. 6/8 went to lockdown. Last time all the ones that went to lockdown hatched, so I've got my fingers crossed for a repeat!
