Anyone need eggs?! Like seriously???

You may want to blow them out and then try to sell them. People decorate them. Blowing them out takes about 30 seconds per egg. You'll need a syringe + needle, a tack and a microwave.

Second Annual Cinco De Mayo Turkey Hatch a long Digest 4-16-2013

Chickenpooplady posted a poem! Arielle posted two poems!

Tazcat70 has a cold and the Son is to blame!

Arielle wants the rain sent her way!

Wolftracks has another storm to go through.

Razadia posted tips for mrshaggie810 and shared about her Dad and the Garden. Also, the bator is staying in range!

Yinepu and I shared out love of Dorkings and Basque hens.

Pictures prove it! along with helping thread to Not be useless…..

Chickin pickin has a lot going on in the bator! Some hatching and plans for starting tutors tomorrow.

Loghousemom is moving to Arizona—dsqard threatened to move in next to them….

Tammy N shared a poem about kittys in a pot.

SilkieSensation took a nap and JJ sloughed off on the critter chores. Lots of water and feed were missing. Poor critters….

SCG is out of the Straight Jacket business! The BF was studying chicken poo due to a sick one which is amazing given what life was like three years ago.

Lotsapaints had a grand daughter’s softball tourney(they won)

to go to last weekend. Turkeys are in lockdown and 5 dozen were set to incubate. A lot of clears are expected.

Cmfarm posted a poem!

Mahonri had a hen go broody so the Brinsea stays packed up! I am happy about this but disappointed. It is fun reading about Mahonri’s hatching adventures….

Cuppycake wondered if eggs had blood rings. Leave them in to know for sure!

Gryeyes posted a haiku!

Cmfarm pulled 8.5 dozen clear eggs from the bator—out of 41 dozen eggs….

Gardeningmama wished us a good morning! And chicks are going in the bator! SlkieSensation does not have 41 Dozen incubating but 18 different breeds incubating….

SallySunshine stopped by and wished us a good morning. We also got to see the Bunny Dance too!

Karimw caught up and updated us on Tutor setting and candling.

Manningjw asked about temps.

ChooksChick checked in and reported about the trials of overheated eggs and candling on a cold cement floor. Things could be worse I suppose. Yinepu said that is why she does not use big bators.

DURR has too many eggs and wants to egg Bomb(sending hatching eggs to someone not throwing rotten eggs at them) someone. Funds are low because of a layoff an now someone is going to help them!

Mstricer has 5 of 6 developing!

Wisher1000 will be delayed getting to the poetry judging and mentioned an article on coop cleaning. And oh yes, Wisher has some silver Campines now….

HEChickens wondered when Scovy eggs show development. 7 to 10 days.

Razadia shared pictures of a Horse – Cow confrontation.

SCG does not need to be egg bombed and shared a mad baby picture to make us understand…..

Debs_flock has more going into lockdown and after they prove fertile Wisher will get some Silver Campine Hatching eggs. We were also reminded that we can feed clears back to the flock.

Wolftrakcs has been running her incubator with the vents closed. The next hatch will be so much better!

Durr was still looking for people that wanted hatching eggs. http://www.hoobly.com was suggested as well as blowing out the eggs and selling them.

Then it was time to vote on poetry! https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/769096/poultry-poetry-contest-vote

Happy Hatching!

Due to an unfortunate series of events, I have not candled in 48 hours.

Now...

If you'll excuse me

OK Like me. Not kidding. I just candled and I don't know why I thought I had 7 turkey eggs. I have 9 and I only saw activity in 4 for sure, but I do see embryos for sure in those, so I'll wait and check closer to lockdown. I found a lot of later and middle of incubation quiters from the last hatch. Some that I thought had chicks didn't and a few that were shrink wrapped, but I figure that was from no airflow. Lots of quiters, poor babies

All my fault! That ain't gonna happen this time. Vents are staying wide open no matter what!

On a good note, my co-broody Phoenix girls hatched the last egg. So out of 12 eggs, I pulled 3, lost one chick and have 8 chicks ranging from 2 weeks to one day. LOL What a spread! I also got a total of 10 Silkie eggs last year and the year before. My girls are laying like crazy now. The first ones in weren't fertile, but the next 3 hatches are developing. I'm so glad since I had set these last ones and then met up with 3 out of the bator to add to someone else's hatch, so hopefully she'll get her whites that she can dye now.
