Woooooo!!!!! Multiple hatch buddies!

Well I looked at the cooler bator janky as could be so I didn't buy it.

I'm setting eggs tomorrow morning, too!

And my first set of turkey eggs go into lockdown on Monday. I am so nervous!

Well, I've done it now...I ordered a copy of the SOP from the APA. I am now instantly impatient for it to get here now. A little excited

wow, I looked back to see who and I'm a bit surprised. I sure hope they replace those.

These were eggs claimed in Aug. of last year. And yes replacements are on the way.

I am giving up on turkeys again. Out of all the eggs I have had from krazykat and Profti, I have 2 turkeys. The last 4 blue slate, all started to develop. One made it to lockdown. It internally pipped then died. It was a blue one too....the one that hatched previously was a splash... cute...but wanted a blue. Why do I stink at hatching turkeys???

On that note, I am going to bed. Busy day tomorrow!!

Some evil people wouldn't let me win the Blue Double Laced Barnvelder chicks on RBA for my $1 bid.

It was still fun to daydream for those 90 minutes I was the high bidder.

I just wanted to take a minute and ask everyone a question. For those of you that print your shipping labels at home, you are taping down all the edges, aren't you? I tape over the whole label, even though you are not supposed to tape over the tracking bar code. As long as your tape is not wrinkled, it works perfectly. I think that may be why some packages are getting lost. I got a package the other day where the label was not taped on very well, and am surprised I got that package. If the label falls off, they really aren't going to bother with taping it back on. Unfortunately. :/

I tape the entire label and have never had a problem.

Yipppeeeee!!!!  I just had 8/9 of the Favorelle eggs shipped to me from Ayeupchuck hatch!!!!  The 9th chicks developed, pipped and passed away before zipping.  It looked totally healthy and had absorbed yolk so I am not sure what happened.  Poor thing.

 I am over joyed with the 8 that did hatch!!!!  Super healthy and robust chicks!!!  I cannot get over how cute they are!!!   Thanks Heather for the beautiful eggs and healthy chubby chicks!!!!!  

Congrats on the hatch!

I put 6 Double Laced Blue Barnevelders from you in lockdown yesterday. Two have already hatched and 2 more have pipped! I have my fingers crossed for the other 2. I'm quite excited- thank you!

Either eat them or give them away in the area. Don't tell people they are Rhodebar crosses because they'll only have 1 barring gene and they'll not have the correct coloration. Next thing you know, someone in your community will be selling "Rhodebars" and they'll actually not be Rhodebars at all. The females can be bred back to the rooster to produce correct coloration. Breeding to a good line of RIR will improve color and form in your Rhodebars too.
