TSC just told me March 3rd is now the date for chicks!! I wander what happened that the chicks needed to be delayed? Does anyone know where TSC gets their chicks from?
They go into lock down tonight!!! Can't wait to see how it turns out.

I think mt healthy hatchery. Im going to guess the cold weather is delaying it. Im glad they are waiting. I think its too cold to ship chicks.

Depends on which TSC. It seems that they order from the hatcheries that are closest to them.

The one in my area - and all the other local stores including Rural King, etc., get theirs from Townline Hatchery.

Ya they can wait, I'll have some Birchen Marans hatching on the 28'th so that will keep me busy for a min

I give up! I will NEVER catch up on reading these pages! I am cheating and skipping right to today's postings.

I LOVE all the chick pictures! While I like the silkies, I can never tell by picture which end is the head, so I am glad to see other types of chicks, too.

I was able to find some joy in this awful day thought I would share it with you. Back story, I noticed the chicks were acting bored, so I put a few perches in ant different heights as I have different ages in one of the brooders. The first to try them out was my Dare-Devil Welsummer, BTW she is also the youngest in this brooder. The the oldest ( 1 of the injured ISA Browns from RK ) and then the biggest of DH's Lt. Brahmas, and so on and so on. yes I noticed I had 1 perch up to high but I didn't think the little ones would get on it. So I put them all down on the same level, and they were way too nosy about the heat lamp, so it is now on the outside of brooder. WARRING PIC HEAVY Hope we got at least 1 Aww out of these,

More than one AWE!!! From me!! I just love them bitties!

I need help finding someone...
By friend had found a craigslist ad, where they were offering to incubate eggs for a fee.
If I remember correctly it was this HUGE homemade, wooden, cabinet incubator. I had seen the ad last year, and I think he was north of Indy, but I don't know how far north.
I'm guessing she wants some eggs hatched! So if anyone knows this guy or if he's on here, could you point me in the right direction? Or of course, if anyone would be willing to incubate for her, let me know. I think she's willing to drive up to 2 hrs away or have her eggs shipped directly.

Not a bad way to make extra money! I'd love to pay someone to incubate eggs for me at some point

I'm in Mooresville. I've got a cabinet incubator, and I will definitely have spare capacity for hatching. I'm sure we could work something out. Send me a pm if you/she are interested.
