November/December "Hatch-a-Long"

oh I will...they haven't gotten here...I bought blue splash wheatons , after trying to decipher her message, she said these pink eggs came from her black splash pen but she didn't know what color bird I would get...assuming from that they are mixed...at least the eggs are! it'll be fun to see what hatches

I would buy so many eggs if I had the room for the chickens. I am terrible at selling. I can't decide who to get rid of and the chickens get so attached to each other that I feel so bad splitting them up.

Quote: the babies that the raccoon got...they were raised by their mom, they were so attached that I would have never separated them...
I pretty much know when they hatch which ones I'm keeping and how many Im selling...but thats my intention, to sell eggs and the hard to find breeds...but I am very attached to the ones I know I'm keeping.

Beautiful chicks. I'm looking forward to seeing those grown up. Did you buy those from someone on here? I've seen a few people selling them.

I intend to sell certain ones and then someone gets hurt or sick and my heart is theirs. Max was supposed to be someone elses. Thank goodness she changed her mind. I am such a sucker. We had pizza for dinner. (We had homemade veggie soup for lunch and yogurt for breakfast, so no need to worry about nutrition. I make sure Max fills up on healthy stuff first. Me, not so much.)
