I still plan on going to the auction if possible on Sunday, but my Dad is now in a hospice home and things are not looking good. If I can't go and anyone is passing through Des Moines - would you be willing to pick up my birds and I would give you money for the fees? Otherwise I might wait until Waverly. I really don't want to wait that long though since they are getting entirely obnoxious about escaping the fence.

Sorry to hear about ur dad. If push come to shove and u need a place to stash chickens till waverly I'll house them. Just let me know.

My homemade bator worked I have 1 egg hatching right now. My middle son is freaking out giving play by play

I'm looking at this week's Shopper's Supply ad. It's "Chick Days", which means feeders, waterers, incubators, heat lamps, etc are all on sale. They also have Nature Wise (Nutrena) feed for $1 off per bag. Sale is 3/16 - 3/21.

They can stay here if need be. Not a big deal.

Is this "fever" boy? It gives me a giggle to think about it.

Aww, Steph, sorry to hear about your dad. That's a tough one.

That's so cool about your son with his nose to the incubator. Love it!

Oldest son is the 'trying to have a fever' one. Middle boy was watching and giving play by play.
They lost interest when after 10 min when chick didn't pop out fluffy and cute.

Is anyone going to the Waverly sale that raises buff muscovies? I have two hens and am looking for a drake to go with them.

I didn't know there was such a thing as Buff Muscovey's!

Oh man panic is setting in! I locked down 50 eggs last night. How am I going to get anything done this weekend? My nose will be stuck to the bator. All 5 Ia blues have wigglers!
