for me! I am on day 18 with my first hatch! I am down to only 7 eggs but I don't care I just hope this 7 hatches! I am trying the egg carton method and I have taken out my little prop up stands added a little water and am not letting anyone touch the bator! My little doxie is about to lose his mind! He doesn't understand why "we" aren't turning the eggs today.
Graceful, do you have any mille fleur eggs for sale? I'd like to buy some still. Maybe I'll talk Gerald into another trip to Blue soon ... is the auction next Tuesday?
teresaann242002, nice meeting you and thanks for buying some brabanter chicks! Now that particular brooder is not filled to over-capacity anymore! Yea!
Kaacres, Good luck with your first hatch! We're cheering you on!
I hope we have many Okies attending the Harrah auction ... I'm bringing lots of youngsters to sell ... some black jersey giant chicks that I hatched from eggs I bought on ebay (I thought I was going to keep some, but I think I'll just keep some of my blue jersey hicks), some silkie chicks, some white bantam chicks (from my feed store binge) some spitzhauben chicks and a few brabanter chicks. Oh, and 4 call ducklings, call duck eggs, 4 ringneck pheasant chicks (ebay egg purchase) ... and whatever else I can fit in the truck!
Poultryandbees, we will bring you some nice silkie pullets and white guinea eggs on Saturday!
Hooligan, I hadn't yet (passed out fliers), but I will next time
Oh, now I get it about the fighting chickens!
I will probably be bringing birds to the ChickenStock.... at least eggs
Carla, I have a half-dozen MF d'Uccle eggs, but if you just pay shipping, you can have them. I am just sorry I forgot to bring them to the auction *embarrassed*
Yes, there is an auction next Tuesday, which is also when my 4-H poultry club is meeting. If you do decide to come down, maybe you could come an hour early and stop by our meeting at 6:00 in the Durant Community Building (I could get you "real" directions
)
Kaacres, I hope your hatch goes well!
Chinachicks and Teresa Ann, welcome to our Okie group!

Yes I do, one rooster, one cockerel, and one hen. I don't like the tails on either of the boys, though the younger one has the better of the two. My yard is a disorganized mess because my partner in crime thinks he needs to work instead of build breeding pens for me! The nerve...
Harrah auction is Saturday. Starts at 5 p.m. I think you can take birds and stuff throughout the day. They usually stop checking stuff in to sell at 5 p.m.
Sorry I won't get to be there.
