Putting eggs in the bator on July 25, does anyone wanna hatch along???

[cluckitall]

lol well one started to hatch i will put more pics on tomorrow.... well bantams lay every single day for me but the standard lay only a few days like 2 standard eggs every day from different hens but my sex link and every day bantam eggs and if you like pick old eggs they are really good for that

Ha! Go figure

Right now I have to admit, I'm all about the egg production. I've only got one hen who lays nearly every day (she might miss two or three days a month...) Ironically she's both my smallest bird and lays the largest eggs. Of the eight eggs in the 'bator, four are hers. Hoping her babies will perform just as well!

So are you, like, living in the coop right now? I know I would be

I'd bring a book and hunker down where I could watch the action!

well im young still pretty young and people don't always listen to me about things i breed sell gonna show i do all the work and my family doesn't help people may not know my age here but i can correct people on things lol but i love animals and i plan on getting a farm when im older and have a steady income ... but i do love my bantams they are so pretty and nice my young game bantam roo fights with a bigger ee rooster and my little game bantam wins its so funny to watch it .... i have 6 hens that are old enough to lay and i get about 5 eggs a day from them but one is still broody so it is still nice i have a sex link and she lays a giant egg like every day i love it ... but i recommend the bantams they lay good and are pretty nice but mine are skidish of me and one is really aggressive one she sits on a nest lol

I wish I hadn't seen those cute pictures. Now I'm even more impatient! 11 days to go!

 

[farmer boy]

what of mine sorry lol i was just so happy first hatch with a broody and i never used a bator so

 

[cluckitall]

What breed of bantams do you have, farmer boy? You might have said but if you did, I missed it!

 

[cluckitall]

I've still got 14, thejohnsie!!! I'm going to be watching you guys post your pics and be bursting with impatience!!!

How are yours doing?

 

[farmer boy]

idk lol i don't know the names but i will try to get pics tomorrow the broody will be easy but the other two wont lol oh and one is missing feathers by her tail because my roo is a little meaner to her

Cool! Maybe we can figure 'em out -- it'll give us (or me at least) something to do besides count hours before I can candle eggs again! Well, I could clean the kitchen, but that's no fun...

I couldn't resist aren't they beautiful. These are pics of the parent stock for my White Ameraucana eggs.

Oh my gosh! They're beautiful, dandydoodle! Like puffs of snowfeathers. This is not good -- I keep finding more breeds to want!
