That's terrible. I'm sorry it's not working out like you hoped. I first started with shipped eggs. Now I just do shipped eggs....no one close enough to me has any breeds that I am interested in. Lol!!!
That's not a bad idea.
I saw your post on the other thread. Lol!!!! I too am getting g some eggs from Ms. Ravyn. Lol. I owe her.....some good eggs!!!! Hopefully here soon I will know if this ogye is a pullet or roo and I can order accordingly. Lol.

Don't be worrying about any eggs yet!! Let's get you a decent batch of pullets for your boy first, lol...

congrats! Enjoy it!
Keep me posted when you do and I will pass your username along.
I have 2 very nice partridge chicks right now. Let me know if your interested and I could send them come spring. They are beautiful stock, but I'm not planning on breeding partridge.
Very lucky indeed. I could hit my neighbors house with a stone. A very light stone.

X2!

Will do... and you would be first to know once I start getting decent amount of their eggs, anyways... I think until Spring I can only send mixed batches of anything anyways... and can't sell until fertility is confirmed back up...

Oh, was talking about FB on the other thread... my OH had a run in with one of those Listerine fanatics on the FB BYC... I think she now regrets posting where he could see it...

I am not sure. It has gotten cold so not super high

At this point I wonder if it has something to do with the source of your flock... waterfowl are notorious for being carriers of nasty stuff that doesn't affect them in any visual way... just a thought... :/

   x2!!    Its another of Murphy's Laws

I can't stand that SOB, but he sure loves me!!!

I am too. The air cells looked pretty good, a couple were a little wobbly. They were packed well, not as well as yours though. I had them sit for 12 hours and will not start turning for 4 days, the same as I did with yours. I have not added any water. I will check the air cells when I candle at day 7. I will do my best and give her feed back.

Good for you... air cells sounded ok for the others, just the amount of clears and early quitters is disturbing... I really want to see what hatches from those...
And remember, you just let me know if you ever want more, of anything...

We have a fence to prevent our dogs going into this section,otherwise they would chase them too. I like to keep them in one section to make it easier on me for poop patrol. They only go the other side when chickens are in their pens and when we are supervising them otherwise they would be running the neighborhood. Unlike some around here we try to be responsible dog owners. Those beagles ran into my back garden while I had the girls out. So I had my little chat with the neighbor, who was very apologetic, and said he would try and keep the beagles quiet. I pulled the heart surgery card and told him that the noise was very stressful which it is. I will give them a week to quiet the dogs down before I call the law. I have 2 german shepherds and you wouldn't know they were here unless you drive a ups truck or deliver mail. Ha.

Mine loves the USPS people... but has a weird vendetta towards UPS drivers...
I don't understand the difference...

I think the only reason she's trying to fix it now is cause I've emailed her about 8 times in the last 2 and a half weeks and didnt have any intent of stopping anytime soon, atleast not til she answered me, lol. Yes she does have alot to learn, as do I, but if someone emails you and asks you several questions you should email them back, not wait til the person starts to gets upset and then get smart with them. She acted like she was tired of hearing from me It's funny though that she answered me immediately after I emailed her the very first time about buying the eggs but now that I need replacements it's taken her over 2 weeks to answer me, go figure.

I had you quoted somewhere and it disappeared... :/

Send me her FB link, if you can... I have an idea...

Ouch!

I don't understand what's going on with the FB stuff, but I'm not on it enough anymore to even look it up.

Sorry, but you HAD to bring him up, didn't ya??

I'm not on FB either, but my OH is a $&!t starting, drama loving loudmouth who loves to make people feel foolish when they deserve it...

Well.... If the deserve it.....

 

[Ravynscroft]

He's nice otherwise... helps a lot of people out... usually he just asks me their questions and posts whatever I tell him, lol... took me a bit before I figured out what he was doing...

But having someone tell everyone they were incubating totally wrong and they absolutely had to soak their eggs in Listerine or they would be spreadihg horrible diseases kinda rubbed him wrong... and when he gets irritated, he has no filter...

 

[NatureChica]

Well, neither do most of us. My husband's buttons are easily pushed by stupidity. He's the jerk of the two of us but I'm guilty of it as well on occasion.

I still try to be diplomatic for as long as I can... he has no diplomacy when stupidity walks into a door...

I butted heads with a very senior sales guy at work today who is lord of his universe. He learned that my opinion of him is not as high as his. He actually called me on my cell phone to scream at me.

Now, I am the hockey mom who would take on fans in the stands who cheered when someone was intentionally injured...a hockey wife who will go face to face with angry hockey players who want to bust into the dressing room or go after someone off ice...who has had several people believe I am insane because when I rage, there is no stopping me. I actually held my tongue, took the high road, told him he certainly had that option open to him when he threatened to go to my boss to make me drop what I was doing in order to do something urgent he procrastinated on for a month...
No go. He did call my boss, I am still wound up about it, and just want to rage on something, and I am still doing what I was supposed to be doing and my boss found someone else to work on the late project.

I vented a bit on my family when my husband let the dog escape at rush hour when someone rang the doorbell. The dog heads straight for the pond across the highway when he gets loose.

My husband says I act like a jerk when I am mad. Maybe I should find that FB group and have a little fun.

 

[Ravynscroft]

Walnut, you sound so much like me... and that's why I keep super control and use diplomacy... if I didn't, well... yeah... my OH says I'm a super b**** when I'm upset too...

Hey, that pretty black and white fancy EE pullet you posted the other day... do you get similar color/pattern like her regularly??
