Just out of curiosity, how large do you make the breeder pens and runs? And how many do you put in to the lens? I'm NEW to the world of breeding chickens, well new to the world of chickens period really lol but I noticed that pen wasn't really large like and has me interested[COLOR=800000]Deb, you can throw a few of those in with my Silver Campine eggs!! As a matter of fact, the CDM Turkey and Tutors Hatch is next.........hint, hint, hint.......[/COLOR] [COLOR=800000]
I'm busy getting the spring breeder pens ready right now![/COLOR]
Good morning to you too! We were hit with a LOT of rain and had some pretty bad flooding in our area. From what I gather though no major damage and no injuries. We were out in our yard though cutting larger drainage paths because with all the leaves and extra muck blocking the stream it was just going into the yard! We have some good plans for better drainage, his dad owns a construction company so that helps! Anyway I'm so glad you weren't hit with a lot of this weather, we didnt receive a lot of wind but. It was scary to look up at the clouds how fast they were moving and sometimes you could hear the strong wind too.
So sorry for the bad luck. I hope those last 4 hatch for you. If I was closer Id give you some chicks for your friendI'm afraid this is going to be a very disappointing hatch for me... Out of 13 of my own eggs I set, only two are developing. I promised the chicks to a friend to start her flock. She wants to surprise her little boy on Easter morning, so I really hope those two hatch.
Of the 12 eggs I got through the Easter swap, only two of the 8 silkies are developing and the only one of the four Seramas (which I was SO excited about) that was developing, now has a blood ring...
So out of 25 eggs, if all of the ones that are developing now hatch, my grand total will be 4...
Oh My Word!! Love 'Em! Congrats!New baby goats tonight!! Mama is Saanen, dad is a nubian.. Twins, a boy and a girl..
I could use a day like that! Got all excited and prepared for it last week, and NADA!Good morning
Woke up to another wintery day. Kids have no school, I have no work today, so its a chore day.
I'm sorry. I threw out 14 eggs yesterday too. I guess that's just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes.I'm afraid this is going to be a very disappointing hatch for me...

[COLOR=FF0000]OMGoodness! That happens? I just bought mine Saturday, and never even plugged it in yet. Eggs are sitting still right now because of detached air cells. In 2 days I planned on plugging in the turner, anything I should know??? And my temps are exactly 102 at the top of the eggs, I am so panicked that if it goes up one degree it's gonna cook 'em[/COLOR][COLOR=FF0000]. I've always laid them on their sides and run at a lower temp. so I had the luxury of slight fluctuations. I am a nervous wreck over it! AND is the temp. gonna go up once once I do turn it on? Anyone with knowledge feel free to answer....[/COLOR]
