INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[BantyChooks]

So I'm just curious, how does everyone here find homes for the chicks they decide not to keep? Do ya'll sell them? Give them away? I know I'm not going to keep all the ones I hatch. Most people local eat them but we are vegetarians lol so that won't work...

I either craigslist them or find friends to take them.

Whay won't you est them? they do actually grow in your garden!
You can sell them, and cut your costs, or just give them.

We sell a lot of them just by word of mouth. We also posted a notice at the local feed stores, and we get occasional calls. I have sold some on Craigslist as well. As I hatch new breeds, I contact the people I've sold to, and see if they want more. They usually do.

Since I don't sex the babies, I tell them, then can bring them back and I'll give them different chicks if they end up with roosters. I'm going to be culling 3 more roosters this weekend.

My god I'm absolutely nuts. I can't stop buying eggs. I don't know what is wrong with me but I just couldn't resist. I am seriously mental and soon you all are going to see me on one of those episodes of snapped except it will be my husband who murdered me for buying so many chicken eggs lmao

So what breeds did you get?

Hey everyone, just got back from camping and we can't find our ducks. Not so much as a feather. But on another note my serama is bloody with 2 eggs under her. I don't know if they are fertile cuz my too is only 4 months.

I'm sorry the ducks are missing. I'm just guessing, but I would think I 4 month old Serema cockerel would be to breeding age.

UGHHH.

I couldn't find the chick waterer, and I was running around trying to get the brooder for the hatched chicks and the keets set up, so I gave henny penny and her chick a 1gal water tub, (tall enough hennypenny can barely reach it to drink) assuming the chick was still weak and would just eat the wet FF on the ground, and not even attempt to fly up and drink. I was wrong.

She drowned.


I feel beyond terrible I didn't make it #1 priority to get a PROPER waterer.

I am so sorry Banti!

the type of horse i have

Good morning all! I just locked down a bunch of eggs. I have some Maran eggs, some Ayem Cemani, some Frizzled EE's, some Olive Eggers, some Silkies, and a BUNCH of my back yard mix eggs.

Last night I cleaned out my Incuview that I used as a hatching incubator and set it up, but I thought my eggs were only on day 17. so I went to my friends house. This morning, when I checked my trusty hatch a batch app - it told me that my day 19 started at 9:00 THIS MORNING. So, I ran home and had some help getting the eggs out of the 1st Brinsea and moved 51 of 65 eggs over to the Incuview and it was FULL!!!!!

I started to leave for work, but checked my notes one more time and realized I had put 30 eggs in the 2nd Brinsea. I strugged (no help) getting one tray out of the 2nd Brinsea. Those incubators are not user friendly!!!! 19 of those 30 eggs were good. I had no room in the Incuview. So,QUICKLY got the first Brinsea set up for hatching,and set those 19. Since the Incuview was SO crowded, I pulled 10 eggs from there and put those in the new hatching Brinsea.

So, I believe I have 70 eggs in lock down. There were 4 that I was unsure of, but I left them in, just in case. The ones I pulled were positively clear.

Happy Hatching everyone!!!

Good Luck with them!!

I,just live these ducklings so Mutch.I don't want to get rid of any already

that's great CH, hopefully you don't end up with too many
