Tis Time for a March 2020 Hatch-a-long!

I feel like I'm causing trouble here!

I must admit, I immediately thought, oooo, which auction?

You might've scared her with your enthusiasm for eggs!!

I swear all I said was, "Do you allow for local pick ups, I'm local to you." I didn't even send an emoji or say anything about the beautiful birds. LOL

Haha i ended up getting outbid, 23.16 to 23.66. Whew?

I was watching that auction too and actually talked with the seller and they package by just throwing them in a box with some bubble wrap and don’t double box...so maybe you got lucky by missing out!

 

[CluckNDoodle]

Yey! It’s my first time ever so naturally I’m freaking out lol that makes me feel better I was worried about setting them at different and having lockdown issues! Can I ask what humidity you are at? I’m trying for the dry hatch method so between 30-50 even though my starting humidity is 14 so I do still have to add water quite often. Are geese okay at that humidity I have American buff

What incubator are you using?

 

[CluckNDoodle]

I can't have a rooster. So buying hatching eggs is my only option to feed my incubating addiction, lol.

Same

You guys are crazy with your buying eggs I'm glad I have my roosters I guess.

I would soooo much rather just have roosters!

Oh wow! I actually checked this guy out over cedarhills marans because i heard some issues about their boxing, and this guy was like "I package them like I'd like them to be packaged for me." Well, I'm back to my initial skepticism about ebay.

NO NO NO NO NO NO. Do not buy his eggs. DO NOT. In addition to reading bad reviews (after the fact) on Good Egg, Bad Egg, I bought a dozen and got one baby out of them. That is highly unusual for me. Also, it was the first time I got a real stinker of an egg in the bunch. Wow. It was foul. The packaging was fine. The outcome was bad, and the customer service is nonexistent.

For Marans, there are better eBay sellers--foxfirepapillons, laurelmeadowsfarm, mashburn, greenfire, and another who has blue coppers is joshmooney0 and I have gotten good hatches from him.
