Didn't I say you were chicken-famous, like, 2 years ago?

Ring leader indeed.


I will be home tomorrow after 430 PM. Gots to work, or whatever it is I do all day.

Raising chickens, and especially hatching their eggs, can be addictive. Please proceed with care and hatch responcibly!

(the really sad part - I've learned how true this is - the hard way!!!!!!)

Me too! I bought my first chickens for eggs and now here I am hatching, breeding, and selling.

 

[Mahonri]

crazy, I'll be getting eggs from 3 places for this hatch. (Besides my backyard)

I pray I have room in the bators.

Icelandics, the bluest of blue Ameraucanas and then whatever else I can fit in and stack!

I'm on my way to Phoenix! I'd tell you I'll bring the good hatching luck with me, but I would be severely lying. My last hatched ended up with one chick (a roo sex link - go me) for which I had to PURCHASE 2 additional (ok, I could have purchased 1 but you know how it is) chicks to brood along with it. And of those 2, one of my "leghorns" has 9 toes, hairy legs and is starting to grow a head poof. Sigh.

I'll have turkey eggs but don't know how many until we're at the date to set. Yippee!!!

Tell us what you are hatching and what you'll be cooking them in. (21 days at 100 degrees of course)

Last hatch was very sad. They were due on 3/12. Got 4 on 3/12, 4 more on 3/13 and 2 on 3/14. Out of 85 eggs! Threw out the bators and have 2 Eco 20's coming for the Easter hatch. Should be here Friday. I think there was some kind oof funky bacteria in there or something. A bunch pipped and had greenish stuff coming out and then died. The Styro bators came used from a guy on a farm and they had been stored in a open barn for a couple years so, who knows what crawled on them.

New bators, new hatch. I'll be ready!
