Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

I was soooo up after getting eggs in the mail then I went to the barn.... Bulb blew on my 4 week old Australorps and I lost 17

I just replaced the bulb 2 weeks ago. I had just let my "old" girls go and was counting on this batch to "update" my flock. Now the girls I kept are not laying. I don't know what I'll do. It's crazy to get so attached to baby chicks. So many things can go wrong....

So sorry to hear that!!!

This is a little off topic but in search of recipe. my favorite breakfast in winter is oatmeal (don't tell the girls ), problem is I am lazy when I wake up, need something I can throw in small crockpot and have ready when I get up.....small amounts, i am the only one in house that eats oatmeal.

Wish I could help you but I don't know. Do they make crock pots that small?

Got eggs today from cjwaldon - They arrived safe and sound! I can't wait to get them in the incubator. If all goes well I should have little Norwegian Jaerhons the first week of December....

These are the first eggs I have received since joining the swap. I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!

Sorry for your loss of chicks. I know this won't help now, but maybe it will help someone else. This is a good reason to have two heat sources for the chicks, just in case one goes out there is always a backup.

I'm SO sorry!!! I always get terribly attached to them as well.

Where is the best place to get shipping boxes from? Horizon? Or is there another place that everyone uses?
