Just In Time Hatching Egg AUCTION and BIN Thread

[Debs55]

My LF silkys haven't started laying,been so cold lately

Ok I hope this doesn't offend any one at all, but we don't have true large fowl silkies over here in the US. When silkies were brought from over seas, the bantams and large fowl varieties were bred together so much that now only the bantam version is recognized (to my knowledge) here. We may have some LARGER silkies, but they are not recognized as large fowl. I breed silkies and am a member of a few silkie groups, we just had a discussion about this a couple weeks ago

Pen 2 sounds interesting,do you ever separate for pure marans

 

[bamadude]

I am currently in the process of building more coops and runs. I plan to seperate them asap.

I'd sell both Brinseas, add the money for the 3rd one, and buy a Sportsman or Dickey cabinet incubator. Bet you'd be money ahead. In all 3 Brinseas, you'd get about 80 eggs, 200 less than the Sportsman can hold.

You know though, even filling a Sportsman is sometimes not enough. Last weekend I fired up a Hovabator because I wanted to set more than I had room for (288 eggs should be enough for anyone, right). In my defense, I expected a lot of clears due to the cold weather killing embryos. I'll find out this weekend if I was right, or if I'm gonna have 42 more chicks than I expected.

It's hard to eat those eggs that I know could hatch into valuable chicks. I want to sell them here, but it's just too cold to ship. I don't even want to get out of the car to walk into the PO.

Spring is just around the corner!
