Very funny Beth!

I would take them, but I just sold my last BTW Jap hen, Buttons, and I'm not all that fond of Japanese bantams. I was eyeing those Duck, and Coturnix eggs...but since all the Ducks I'm hatching are going to a friend, and I already have all my packages ready to ship in the morning I decided against it. I would like to try some Coturnix quail sometime, but don't really have the room right now.

Wish I could take them quail eggs, but since I only have two Swaps left for this week...I want to save them for something I MUST have.

Oh, by the by, I will be shipping off your package in the morning!

Hope the momma hen and her biddies arrive to your home in great shape!

Aspen, nobody is likely to offer Chocolate Orpingtons! But if they did, I would need another coop!:-D

I had a busy day, today was the last day of the fair and since I won tickets and a parking voucher at a raffle last night, I had to go! When to see the chickens....not so impressive, there was about 5 buff orpingtons that looked like they were all hatchery stock and just 1 or 2 of other breeds and there had to be less than 30 large fowl total. I'm totally going to enter some chickens next year.

Heres an egg update, no naked necks so far...

Beth's Eggs: 14 made it to lockdown, I've had 13 hatch so far, last one hasn't pipped, i'm going to check it after my other pipps hatch. So 13 out of 15 total is awesome, that is like 87% and that includes the egg I broke, if you don't count it its 93%, that is amazing for shipped eggs that flew 3000 miles. They must have put your box on a pillow made of puppies.

Michelle: 2 have hatched and 6 have pipped of the 8 that made it to lockdown. That'll make 8 out of 13, so thats about 62%, that about the hatch rate for my last hatch.

Heres some pics, these are a dozen of beth's chicks, the others are still in the bator

And heres some of my broody pug looking at the new arrival, today I left her outside for 5 minutes with the older chicks to babysit, she likes to sniff them and she unintentionally herds them around, its funny to watch.

Don't worry about the chicks, I took the cone off the light... and she doesn't get alone time with them till they are able to peck her, watching a 3 week old chick chase a pug is a hoot too. She always looks so guilty when I catch her.

Pugs are soooo cute!

 

[CapricornFarm]

The chicks are adorable too!
Oh, I am so pleased, I put my polish hens in with the pullets and young roosters. Even though I moved them, they are still laying. So I am going to put a few eggs in the Bator to check fertility. Of course, there are about four roosters in that group, so it had better be good or heads will roll! I tried putting a rooster with the hens, but they pecked him. Crazy girls!
