A friend has put us down for one of the pups of her bull mastiff. That will be fun. On another note, I'm excited

because I just ordered to be shipped on the 22nd a dozen SG Dorkings. Hortsman cock over Urch hens. Man some good genes. Hope I can have a good hatch. I was going to buy them for a buddy but he's not that good a buddy. I'm keeping these for myself. I have not told him about them, was going to surprise him. Next time.

How exciting you are having Christmas in July? How fun!

I love Mastiff's I had one and she was the best dog I ever had. And I hope you will have a great hatch with your Dorking eggs!

A member here, Redyre Rotties, breeds and shows absolutely gorgeous Rottweilers. She had a litter last year that had only one puppy in it. His registered name has "Fandango" in it, but he's known as "Dang" (probably her reaction on realizing that he was a solo puppy.)

I once worked in a veterinary clinic - yes, it kills - very painfully. There are far more humane methods of predator control.

LindaB220 I sure hope those shipped eggs will hatch for you. As for me, I'm done with them unless I'm desperate and I have enough birds that I won't be desperate for a long time. Good luck!

I do too. The last hatch was when the power went out for 14 hrs. I waited another 3 days and cracked and only one had developed. I didn't candle because I can't see what I'm looking at so I waited to day 23. Those eggs came from in the central area so not so very far but were not wrapped very good. Egg, tissue paper, egg carton, foil bubble wrap around all of them and then crumpled paper in one box. Bummed about that.

If only one developed then only one was fertile. People do not generally guarantee hatch but they should guarantee fertility. You should be able to get replacements.
