Oh, the Partridge is beautiful, such a fluffy cutieWhat do ya think? these may the the fluffiest things I've ever seen. Ummmmm, have never been a big "silkie" fan, but oh my word. Yiiiikes. The Partridge is gorgeous, but no pouf? Only one of them really has a pouf.

DON'T you feed those SBEL to snakes!Well I still have the borrowed Sportsman. I borrowed it when an ebay shipment of eggs came in 2 wks early and I didn't have room, I was already going to be stacking. I figured since it is here I should put it to good use. Besides I needed to replace all the eggs that were in there during the storm/power outage. So I ordered replacement eggs, they are all in there. I am waiting on a variety shipment, and I am supposed to be finished for the year. But I noticed that a couple of my EE are laying a very nice BLUE egg, so I collected them and put 9 in the bator today, I added 6 nice large eggs from the free ranging flock, I always need nice large egg layers. But I have not ordered anything new
A friend called and asked if I had a couple of extra roos, in various sizes. She wants them for snake food, I have several older 3-5 mo olds but she said she needed smaller ones too, like as soon as I can tell they are roos and I don't need them. I looked in the brooder and I cant seem to tell if there are any SBEL roos, they all look the same to me. The 2 black BLRW are looking like roos and I already have a nice blue roo, I need pullets!
I may need to find some and try again
Sorry the LG isn't working out for you. I use it as a hatcher, because my homemade holds so many eggs. I've had good hatches from both my LG and my homemade.
that might be debatable... it cost almost $90 to have a trio of bantam cochins shipped almost as far... dorkings being heavier than cochins, and larger, would need bigger box(es) and the shipping would be more. overall, for more than 1 or 2 birds, a drive would be more cost efficient. even in my gas guzzling dodge 1500 (v8), at 15mpg highway, that's about $60 for 300 miles (just filled it up, so i know. LOL)

put them in the LG at lockdown. if i have overlapping hatches, i will vary the day i put eggs in the hatcher, 2-4 days prior to hatch, rather than the standard 3 days. and if some are hatching when others go lockdown then i'll put them in when i take chicks out, to minimize the time it's openned.
