Incubating and hatching eggs chat thread!!

I never saw a turkey I thought was pretty until I saw the royal palms.

I could never show. I don't have the patience and drive, however with my silkies I am trying to improve, though the stock I have is pretty darn good.

What's she mixed with?

 

[JRNash]

Lol, the possibilities are endless. In the mix is Saipan.

 

[JRNash]

I'm going to put her with Elvis the blue Cochin for one hatch. Next year I'll probably order another male and a couple females to outcross with

I'm not trying to put a damper on your goals,BUT fresh yard eggs normally go from 2.50$ to 3.50$ a dozen. It would be a lot safer and less expensive for a trial run. You can always give the chicks away. I bet if you look around you can find the breeds your looking for local. Ask around at the post office and the local grocery store. If you ask 5 people one of them will either have chickens or know who does.

As strange as it sounds, I was going to say, "No way, Nash... oddly I can't seem to find them around here!" But, I have found them on Craigslist under "hatching or fertile eggs".

 

[ChcknNurse]

I'll do that! My feed store has fertile eggs

Jealous!! I don't have that available ... just the auctions.

 

[ChcknNurse]

Never tried one like that.

I think u mean the bator...
