Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

yea. well if no one bids on these. then i prolly will.
itl come to like $25 or 24
is that fair for campbell eggs

Yep. If you hatch 25% of them and sell them for $4 a piece you'll make your money back, so I'd say it sounds good.

Did n't DG-FM say she was going to her fathers today???
might be wrong

but I did rember her saying she was going to be away today

hope all is ok I am sure it is !!!

I cant wait to tell her about MY FUZZY BUTTS !!!!!!!

Probably. I miss a lot of things on here, lol.
Can't wait to see your fuzzies!!!!

Yeah Critter!!!! Congrats!!!!! Where are the pics??

Julie, I understand the watch dog honk vs yip alarm. My pair usually only honk if there is something real to sound an alarm about (or if we are late to feed). My hubby left a message for the local toulouse geese seller, but I am a little concerned it may be a challenge to introduce adults to my pair. I do not want my adults to feel displaced in any way. That is why I was leaning for goslings that could be raised simultaneously with the ducks. I think getting goslings from Ideal may be easiest, but my problem with that is they include male chicks for warmth that I would then have to dispose of. And that idea does not thrill me.

QJ, YAY!!! And stop worrying about DG! DG said she had to go someplace with her parents yesterday and did not think she would be back until sometime today. If the post wasn't dozens of pages back by now, I'd try to dig it up for you....

Alright, going to walmart to pick up some birthday stuff for my little lala. I need to hurry and get going so I won't miss cute chick pics!

well most of them i wouldnt sell until mid summer so my geese can have babies to be with.
but i think i might just go for it.
not finding any other offers close by.
and that seems like my best bet right now.

These are 2 chocs, 2 Lemon orps and 4 blue/black orps. I'm checking them now to see how they held up.

Are they ducks or chickens? Check the air cells and put them on their side if they are ducks and air cells ok. I'm starting to angle mine farther and farther towards being on their sides. The ones on their sides that had good air cells seem to be growing faster than the propped ones. Don't know if that's because they are on their sides or because they have good air cells though.
Your choc chooks right? Keep them up. Didn't you buy silver appleyards too? Too many eggs, I can't keep anything straight, lol.

 

[QuackerJackFarms]

Oh sure. Right when I'm leaving. So by the time I get back, I expect to see pics. That gives you 45 mins to drive home, put on jammy pants, and take some pics. LOL!!

around 3:30 today

 

[QuackerJackFarms]

I must have missed that one. I miss A LOT on here. Thanks though!
