Surviving Minnesota!

[Bogtown Chick]

Busy day..

My wife asked the question " when will you stop hatching? last night. Followed by " don't you think you have enough birds now?"...

These could be bad signs....

What could be worse is I just put:

15 JJ turkey eggs
6 Adam turkey eggs

6 Buckeye Eggs (Duane Urch)
11 Dominque eggs (Urch again)

in the hatchers! Can you believe 11 Dom eggs hatched, I got 11 from him and by mistake he had a BA egg in the dozen. The only non-hatcher was the BA.

The buckeyes are 6 for 12, not bad for eggs I traveled to get. Even so a 75% rate going into the hatcher is not bad for me.




Now my hatchers are divided nicely so I can mark each chick. This will work good today...However I have:

32 Creamette eggs
6 Partridge Chanticler (YEAH!! Surprisingly these are good, the first good ones of the year, It took Ed a while to do his job, now I feel bad I trimmed him...)
3 Partridge Chanticler over EE........)

I might need to find a new hatcher. or a place to sleep at night....The good thing is Judy is working this weekend and might not notice the new chicks....

Ralphie: She does make some valid points. Your hobby may be taking over! LOL. Are alot of the birds for sale afterwards?

Wow you just never stop hatching!

How many birds total do you have?

Counting babies? I have no idea,

I have 70 adult birds... counting the 3 that will be having a bad week..

They are, some are sold already, some I hope to get rid of at swap meets, some will become soup, some will be breeding stock..


I forgot to mention I have about 45 turkey eggs to hatch on the 19th I have not candled them yet along with some other misc, stuff..

BTW If you argee with her too often I may have to de-friend you..

aren't you supposed to be keeping hatching records for NPiP? Or not yet?

You aren't going to be on Animal Planet one day....on the hoarder show are you? I think Judy might be worried about seeing her living room on Cable TV.

There's chicken math...I know I know...

Oh okay, I thought you had like several hundred! A bad week for them and a good week for your stomach?

Sales records and records of your breeders. Not hatching records.

Nathan, as well as racing pigeons, I have Birmingham Rollers. I plan to compete in the NBRC 2016 20 bird flying competition which happens in the fall. I do not have any for sale, but if you go to Fancy Pigeon Auction,Com there is usually some listings there in the Roller category. You may also find them on facebook groups such as Central Pigeon Sales or American Pigeons Sales.

Ralphie, a chicken hoarder, perish the thought. He is going to be a successful Hatchery and make big money retailing chicks!!

I may be concerned that he could be a Turkey hoarder! How many Thanksgiving turkeys can one man have?
