Nice work! Could I order one of your little free standing peeps? I need one for my collection.:<)
Adorable babies. Don't feel bad. incubating is very stressfull. I've had only 2 100% hatches and it felt like a miracle. Then in 3 bators out of 120 eggs only 40 or so hatched. It really in my experience is shipping-packing/humidity related. Basememts for me are the best places to hatch because of the unchanging barometer/temps/humidity as compared to heat/air conditioned floors.

Just tell me what color you want and I'll send it to you. I even bought yarn to try to make silkie chicks...

Anybody go to the Stormville flea market? We went early this morning picked up a few things and was done by 1130.
Here are a few pics of the roos yesterday heading to freezer camp, my daughter was traumatized. But she got over it. also note to self, don't butcher chickens on hot and humid days. Feathers stick to everything.

Rich, we just got back a few minutes ago from Stormville. Got there late, around 11. It got sunny and hot and was pretty packed. Got our pickles, though.

Nice job you did on the birds. Besides the sticking feathers, plucking has to be the longest part of the job.

Thanks Al.  I knew you'd have the poop on run bedding.  Get it??

 

Got it . I may not know Jack, but I do know my poop.

In non-chicken related bird news, my daughter Jane spotted a Killdeer nest in the beach club parking lot. Can you see the 4 eggs? This has to be the bird with the worst evolutionary instincts.


We had to try to help them out a little bit so we circled the nest with bits of brick. The funny thing is when the female came back to sit on the eggs you could hardly see her. I couldn't help but wonder what would happen if Suzanne put the eggs in her incubator - other than someone going to jail naturally.

I have a bunch of Chipmunks brothers.... I think I'll just bring them to the Boston show next week.

You need to make them tiny shirts that say "Alvin, Simon & Theodore"

The eggs probably stand a better chance out in the open than in my incubator!
