Mahonri's 2nd Annual NYDHatch, watching them grow...

[PoultryPeeps]

I'm DYIN' here!!! Still no sign of ANY of the FOUR shipments of eggs I'm eggspecting!! Oh help, oh help, oh help! What am I going to do if they come frozen? Or shaken to bits? Dislocated air sacs? I thought for sure SOMETHING would come today. But no.
(Just had to vent)

I feel your pain. I have eggs coming from Virginia and Tennessee and I'm HOPING they show up tomorrow and are not frozen little eggsicles.

How cold are you there? You can't be that cold, it's Texas right?

 

[SteveH]

I sure both of you get them tomorrow , and in good shape !

SO jealous of you!! My polish are now where near done molting yet, so although my Tolbunt boys are, umm, ready to go, my girls are not. . .

Steve, I like your positive attitude! Hope everybody gets their shipped eggs safely.

My egg swap eggs didn't come today either but the eggs I mailed the day after yours were delivered your eggs have gone postal

and I only marked yours as perishable the one box marked fragile came beat up but all the eggs were okay and I wrapped yours just as good plus they are in an insulated box

that they show up tomorrow in great shape

You guys make this sooo tempting. But with a little human chick due on Dec 28 I just can't. I'll be way to preoccupied to take care of some chicken chicks.

Yes. I just feel so privileged to have these eggs that can help to preserve "The Viking Hen".

I am so amazed at the range of colors. I noticed blues, reds, barred's/cuckoos, chickens that looked almost wheaten, lavenders... it's just amazing the colors you can get from the different pairings.

I'm also amazed at how you can get any eggs as they seem to go broody so often.

Mary, it is a work of love you have undertaken to spread and preserve this ancient breed.
