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

[TJChickens]

Quick update then I need to get back out to the horses....

I got another shipment of Serama eggs from the same person who sent me these. They were a favor, so I'm not griping....


Believe it or not, there are two developing from this mess! I had to wash them in hot water to get all the slime off and they have saddle cells, but I'm giving them the best chance I can. Probably won't ever turn them.

So, the new batch was packed a bit better and nothing was broken, but out of 8 eggs, 4 are saddle cells and 4 are completely rolling. Set them all anyways.

Was thinking about putting some of my own in, but decided to hold off for the Easter HAL. Maybe I will put some on the 24 hour auction thread instead!

I will try to take pictures later of the last three bunches of Serama chicks and of the two baby pigeons.

That's what I was wondering too.

When I had some light brahmas pullets running with black penedesenca cockerels and pullets, the cockerels gangbanged the brahmas and left their own kind alone. I rescue placed the brahmas.

...

is that how they came?
horrible
what were they thinking?

Just popping in to say hi...

HI!!!

I hope everyone is doing well. Daxi and cc, take it easy and get healed up!!! I've been super busy and haven't had much of a chance to get on here in a couple of days. All of these daily life chores and having a job are getting in the way!!!

It looks like I need to give up one (or both) so I'll have more free time to hang out with my peeps!!!

Soooo, can you stack eggs safely in a brinsea 20 with the autoturner on? It seems like it could work if you put them in rows so they can't slide. I haven't tried it, just plotting.I have my first set in the bator now. One set of fertile grocery eggs, and some barred rocks, a CCL and some SBELs. Today is day 7, candle day!

I guess I got buried in the midst of things.....is stacking bad?

My black silkie roo only dances for the white silkie hens. I have never seen it dance for the blue hen. But I would think he probably wouldn't dance for another roo either. So, maybe? Can they tell when they are that young?

You'd think anyone as old as you would have their priorities straight by now!
