Joy, I haven't had a chance to thank you for the soap emails. I spent all day Friday doing semi annual reports...

Tricia, my sincere condolences. What is it with our group? First Katy and Joy's Orpingtons and now our dogs. My 18 1/2 year old Papillon collapsed without any warning and had to be put to sleep this afternoon. She has left a huge void. Her daughter is 16, and she's been lying by Posie's bed since we got home from the vet - she won't leave it. It's been pouring rain so we will bury her tomorrow.

Sorry for your loss also Mary. 18? Wow. She lived a long and I'm sure a very happy life.

I just locked down 1 of my bator today... it is full of fertile eggs <G> I need a new brooder..

Hope you have a great hatch and lots of fluffy butts on parade!

I QUIT ! ! ! NOT ONE fertile egg. It has been over 6 months. I am not incubating any more Orp eggs. I am so mad I could spit nails.​

Well Kathy that stinks. I just trimmed Charlie's butt and the three girls i have in there with them. I Hope to get fertile eggs there too soon. I started out with lots of fertiles and this weeks hatch will consist of 10 eggs. Next week should be a lot better. You might need to give those boys some vitamin E

I just don't understand this. I have fertile eggs in every pen I have, EXCEPT these Orps! I am just soooo frustrated. I have decided I am not doing AI. If they don't reproduce, well then ......... that's all I will have.

Dangit Kathy! I am so sorry to hear that. Why don't you move a different breed of roo in there, to see if that is what is going on. You said you had 2 in, and took one out. Maybe you took the wrong one out?

 

[kathyinmo]

I have tried both of them. I now have 2 black girls in with my Lavender Orp. I hope those eggs will be fertile! I believe they will be, as I have seen them mate.

I sure wish one could tell what a chick would grow up to look like, but this one is pretty adorable
