Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

Well... the lady with the BCM eggs said that she will leave 1/2 dozen eggs with her hubby who will be home, so I have 6 BCM eggs to pick up and some Ameraucana eggs to pick up. When it rains... it pours! I hope that Rumples cooperates and keeps the eggs warm and toasty.

Yay eggs! Do you have a backup plan if she gets restless?

I do not have a backup plan. Any suggestions?? Pips & Peeps is only about 20 minutes from my house, so there are plenty of fertile eggs there. The BCM guy did not call me back so.... maybe next time. I cleaned to coop and Rumples did not budge... heck, she didn't even growl at me. Now there is a waiting line for a nest. Guess DH will have to put in an addition. Tee hee.....

Happy Birthdays to you both!

it's pouring up here, but warmish... it's in the mid 40's, which in reality is warm... but it's so damp and there is still so much snow, it's misty and miserable. no free range today for sure! but I have nice treats to dish up later, so they'll forgive me

Speaking of "oopsies" I've done it. twice. the 3rd night that Peach, Sirus and Archie were here and in separate quarters... I left their door wide open, all night, and was shocked to see them all safely perched inside... and the second time was within the last 2 weeks. I did not return to the dome to lock the human door. it was closed, but not locked. and had a gap that certainly a weasel could have slipped through... lucked out here too! all safe. phew!

You jynxed me! I left the run open today. Most were happy to go back into the run. Then there are Moron's girls. He is my BCM. Great husband. I planned on keeping him, and ditching the Ameraucana. Almost got him a few times. The run door kept blowing shut. I am down to him and another BCM. I just heard them screaming in the woods. Couldn't see them. I also hear and see hawks.
I am staying out for a while. If they go into the run, I want to shut the door. I don't let them out for this reason. Not all are easy for me to catch, and there are too many ways for them to get hurt.

Wow... rough day. I am still sick and I drove out to Pips & Peeps for hatching eggs. She gave me 7 for the price of 6. They are Ameraucana from her Lavender pen. Some will be black and some will be Lavender. Rumples was from the same pen. Now all I can do is wait.
