September Hatch-A-Long!

OMG! I am so relieved and happy! My Bielefelder eggs arrived and I went to pick them up this morning. They were shipped from South to North Texas and look GREAT! And even though I bought only 6 he sent 10! These normally sell for $180 a dozen - I paid $29.99 :D I am one happy girl! All the air cells are still attached, no cracks, giant beautiful light/medium brown eggs. If you are looking for some of these I can't recommend him enough http://www.rarebreedauctions.com/au...elder-chicken-hatching-eggs&auction_id=115400 Even though I probably could just set them I am going to let them sit for a day since I will have my new Hovabator to put them in tomorrow!!

Nice find!! Good luck!!

Had a bad scare this morning. I went to bed early with a cold and I'm not sure what happened but some time between 9pm and 3 am the temp jumped up to 109! :he  Luckily I woke at 3:30 am and got the temp down pretty quick but not sure how much damage it did.

:hugs My temp spiked to 110 on day 21. I did eggtopsies later and sadly it killed 7 fully developed babies, but 2 made it and are happy, healthy chicks now! There is hope!

Adorable babies, everyone! So excited to receive all my new eggs in the mail and start cookin'! :ya

I can hope so! It's only day 4 for me so it's a long wait to find out.
 
5 guineas, 4 cream legbars, 2 silkies, 1 frizzle silkie and 1 sizzle frizzle chirping in the egg

...what kind of eggs?

A bunch of mutts. 5 are second gen BCM x RIR crosses and 1 is a game hen x BCM/RIR mix. Like I said, a bunch of mutts but I didn't want to risk money on purebred eggs with my first hatching and if any do make it I really don't mind adding some more of these types of mutts to my flock. ^.^ They are fairly good layers and pretty docile.
 
just got home about 20 mintues ago and surprise! i look in the bator and 4 of the eggs that just went into lockdown yesterday are pipping! this is only day 19 but they are shipped and the lady i bought them from says that when she hatches out serama they start at day 19 quite often.


cant wait to see what the chicks who have pipped look like when they come out
