***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[HallFamilyFarm]

I need a big favor from someone near Sand Springs. I have a friend with two small kids taht is wanting a start of my Buckeyes. I shipped him a dozen eggs for a hen and a neighbors dog got in and destroyed the nest. Birds are fine, but the eggs were destroyed and noe the hen is too scared to set.

What I need is to borrow an incubator. I can ship you the eggs, let you hatch them, then give the chicks to my friend. This family has been through a lot. He just regained custody last year. the Mom was a meth-head. If you can hatch about 2-3 dozen eggs for us, please PM me. I am not on this thread much. My friend lives near Prattsville just southwest of Sand Springs. You can email me by clicking email just under my name to the left of this post.

Note I am giving him the eggs and paying the shipping. Just need an incubator near him to hatch them out. Would be willing to send an extra dozen of whatever I have available to pay for the hatching cost.

Thanks,

Jim

Jim I hope that someone can help you out. A dozen Buckeye eggs as payment would be a good deal, well a great deal. Those are beautiful birds. Too bad I am two hours away.

Howdy everyone- we use a flashlight to candle, the newer kind that aren't LED but have some kind of super bright light like the kind they put on pistols and stuff sometimes we use the light off of my pistol. I think it puts out like 90 lumens and stays cool. I just hold the light with my pinky pointed up and set the air sac end of the egg on the top of my hand like a little cup. I can even candle coturnix eggs that way and they are the hardest to candle.

Id use the one on my pistol, but would be afraid I would get excited and shoot my egg

I've been using an 18 volt flashlight and set the egg on a styrofoam cup I cut a circle out of the bottom. I always go the cheap way.LOL

 

[Doc Henry]

Old*Cowboy I take the light off first just for that reason!

I wish I could help, but I'd be out of town when they'd be ready to hatch.

We have three horses and a mule. We have a warmblood that is a Quarterhorse/ Belgian cross. She is awesome. She is huge, 17hands.
We have her sister that is the mule. Same mother, different daddy and she is 17.2 hands. And their Mother who is purebred Belgian. And I traded my palomino mare today for a gray quarter horse mare. Well we are test driving her for a week. LOL I used to barrel race but now we just do trail riding. Im getting interested in some competitive trail riding its catching on around here. Team roping is SUPER popular around here. Do you ride?
