I confess,. I did it,.. "they" make it too easy,..I don't know how it happened ,... I was browsing on ebay for homeschool supplies,.. and somehow found myself looking at STANDARD CRESTED GOLDEN LACED POLISH HATCHING EGGS. . They are close to me,. only one state away so they wont be in shipping long ( I reasoned to myself). It's only 3 eggs ( 3 MORE eggs) My neighbor was just saying how she really wanted a Polish hen and I could give them to her if they hatch ( doing a nice thing.,.. right?) It was easy,.. just a click of the mouse,.. I may need to join IA ....Incubators Anonymous ,.. but right now I have to fire up the bator,..
Remember your chicken math 101. Eggs don't count. Chicks don't count until they are out of the brooder. And did I mention the other Polish eggs for sale?
I had such crappy luck with shipped eggs, my last hatch was all my own eggs. 100% hatch rate. So now I have a bunch of EE's and Black Sex links. Shot myself in the foot with that one.
Quote:Wait until I tell Brian we were doing Chicken Math all wrong,.. EGGS Don't count!!!! So basically,.. I'm in the clear,.. until they hatch,.. but as Miss Scarlet says,.. I wont think about that now,. I'll think about that tomorrow. what other Polish eggs for sale,..?
Quote:100% hatch! That's great! What bator did you use,. how many eggs? The eggs I bid on ( and am still high bidder) are offered by a young lady that shows her birds and have won awards ( saw it on the web),. . She also has 100% positive feedback for her shipping and chicks,. so I am thinking I will be OK,. I might not feel that way if they were being shipped father that one state away.
