Wow! That a lot of chickens! Why do you have all your beautiful breeds together?

I am DONE breeding and hatching for the season! Last batch of eggs are ready to set.

Honestly though, they stay within their own little groups. Here they are all close because I tossed out some scratch to call them together. I keep the Icelandics and Orps penned though. As soon as I am finished with gathering their eggs, they will be out also.

#1. You don't need any eggs. None of us needs eggs.

#2. The post office isn't done kicking the box yet. You will have to be patient.

#3. I was late getting them in the mail because the white spray paint wouldn't dry on the Stella egg.

#4. Icelandics don't need 21 days so go ahead and set the others.

I have a question,
I while back in this thread, someone dropped in and said he/she would like to have some hens for eggs to eat and thought Icelandics would be a good choice. If I remember correctly the person was told to choose a different breed as all the Icelandic eggs should be used for hatching. Is this still the case? I do not want to offend anyone by asking this, I am just curios. thanks.

*laughing*

*now crying*

My long awaited turkey eggs came. Stooppid seller didnt wrap the eggs--just stuck them in a chicken egg carton figureing that'd secure them. Holy cowbells, I break turkey eggs when I put them in the fridge like that--nevermind SHIPPING them that way. Out of 12, I think 2 eggs might be hatchable. Maybe.

It sucks because I pre-ordered them back in January, and the seller kept pushing the ship date back and back and back *le sigh*

Oh well, I sent them an email. Most sellers try to make it right, so here's hoping for the best.

In the mean time, I could really use some Icelandic eggs.

How am I going to survive the weekend?? If my Icelandic eggs don't come tomorrow, I'll have to wait till Monday!!

Here's hoping the PO calls me in the morning...

Their tracking website still only shows that they were notified to expect a shipment... nothing else.

#1 I do need eggs

#2 They better not be kicking my boxes

#3 All the Stella eggs were saved for Laree

#4 My other eggs aren't here yet either..


NOW WHAT???

I hope not, or I'm busted.

For now, I'll be using mine for good broodies. Eventually I may get an Icelandic roo, but I can't give up my Moose boy. (welsummer) And I'm growing out barnevelders to breed also.

ETA: And if I remember correctly (but maybe not) the person was asking about them in a confined space - which I think Mary told them they prefer to have room to roam.
