The NEW Crazy 24hr AUCTION thread

[wolftracks]

I raise black copper marans---so here is my opionion.

I wash all eggs from other farms. ALWAYS. I use a dilute bleach dip, others recommend oxine.

If you want a chance at a good hatch you will want to remove lots of the marans coating with a nail file until it looks like a brown watermelon. CHookschick posted the instructions somewhere. LEt me know if you can't find it.

So the scratches are immaterial-- that is they are supperficial. The brown coating is layered on last and is not part of the calcium layer, so it it prone to scartching

Hope you have an awesome hatch!!

Watermelon eggs! LOL

Darn I looked but I don't have a pic of them. She helped me way back and when someone looked in the bator, they thought I was drying something from the garden. LOL

Goody Grab Bag! You are bidding on EVERYTHING that gets laid on my place in the next 24 hours. I have a pair of pure Chocolate English Orpingtons, and a black 1/2 English 1/2 Dutch (slightly closer to American SOP) black Orpington, my mauve English Orpington (just moved and probably still bred by my frizzled roo) and a very nice SQ black Cochin in pen #1, Pen #2 is my back (carrying mottled) frizzled Cochin roo over a white American Orpington, and a dark lemon-blue cochin. Pen # 3 are my calico Cochins. Pen #4 are my SQ SEBASTAPOL GEESE, who are laying currently and are due an egg today. Pen #5 has my pure Boulanger rooster over my F1 Dorking x Faverolles hens- makes awesome layers and meat birds or breed the into your Fav line to improve utility traits. Pen #6 are my SQ Faverolles pullet Breeders, which consist of my winning hen, her 2 1/2 Merlin daughters and a pure Merlin roo. Pen #7 are my cockerel producers which are 1 roo over 3 hens, all Boulanger and out crossed lines, I guarantee there will be a minimum of 6 eggs, but it is far more likely you will be getting any more then that. Nothing will be marked except the F2s, unless I forget and mark them by mistake. I already have 3 chocolate pen eggs from yesterday to start things off.

I bid $16 on these Please if you can mark the eggs that would be Great.

I know this is the wrong thread to ask on but... how do you do it (bleaching)?

Goody Grab Bag!

Egg update, there are 4 Faverolles (2 from each pen), 1 frizzle, 1 calico, 4 chocolates, 2 F2s... and one beautiful SEBASTAPOL egg

making a total of 13 eggs. My sebbie eggs normally go for $20 each locally...but I haven't sold one in years because I get $65 for day old goslings, and $10 for blown eggs (very occasional duds, had 3 last year out of 26 eggs) to a local artist. Super chance to get a nice variety for one lucky person's incubator or broodies
