PLEASE!!!!

I'll meet with anyone who wants to help!

Um.... I can get them to Antlers, anyone between me and the NE corner of OK willing to meet?

Where do they need to go? are there any Flea markets in the area? what day would they need to travel?

There is a great poultry auction over here in Durant

I think they can go on any day, I am always available for a pick-up.

Grace I was really thinking about the other end of the run, with gas going up again I could maybe do something from here to the NE if I had another reason to make the trip..Is this weekend the auction a Jacobs cave? if so maybe Luvs could help she, she said she was going..and that would be going right thur there. I'm just typing out loud again

If Ro wants to wait that long, I'm going to Jacobs cave on June 5th. I'm meeting up with a friend the day before and staying at her place. She's in Vinita.

Cuban-

You will have to look up Luvs and I. We are both going to the Cave. Wouldn't miss it for the world. Let us know where you are camped or maybe we can exchange phone numbers and chat a little chicken over the weekend.

I can wait! I just don't want those chickies out of my clutches!! Lol!

I could probably meet in Vinita on the day you guys are going out there...I know right where you're heading!

I can't go to Jacob's Cave though...

Stupid work...

Hey, now, my only other option was to put "Whenever you want to get a chick, I'm here"

I just received this message from someone I got hatching eggs from (I edited it to remove personal information):

Right after I'd sent your eggs, one of my hens [of a different breed's] eyes swelled up and she sneezed. I freaked out and called my local vet who referred me to the state vet, who came out that afternoon and took some saliva samples and blood samples from her and a few other birds. The next day, she was back to normal and I thought maybe she tried to eat a bee or something - she's not the brightest bulb in the box. The results just came back MG (or CRD)! Even if I treat my flock, they will be carriers for life and MG can be passed from the hen to the egg. I've made the decision to eradicate my flock and start over.

The vet was able to trace the source to a trio I had bought at a swap April 18th. I quarantined them and they never showed signs of illness, but being carriers, they gave it to my birds. I feel absolutely sick over all this!

Basically, any hatching eggs I have sold after April 18th is potentially infected with MG and I think you should take them out of the incubator and not allow them to hatch to prevent the possibility of spreading this to your flock. It's not 100% that it passes to the egg, but I wouldn't take the chance. I'll [refund] you. I'm so, so sorry to have to tell you this news, but if the situation were reversed, I'd want someone to tell me.

I'm just devastated and I'm so sorry about the eggs!

So, what do you all think I should do?????? The eggs are only 1/3 way through incubation...​
