Why are hatching eggs so expensive?

Well, I would not say you shouldn't buy ANYTHING from a hatchery.

I think if you are trying for a bunch of laying hens that can be a good way to go, especially if you research the hatchery.

After all, you cannot incubate chicks asking just for pullets!

That said, I certainly agree that I would buy hatching eggs from a breeder. You can really really get some high quality chicks that way, and get into a line that you want very much.

Sometimes it is the only way you can get the birds you want without driving for ages.

And sometimes I drive for ages.

Don't you supplement your chicken's diet with the chemical dihydrogen monoxide, or DHMO for short?

Where did this come from, and why would anybody give this stuff to chickens? According to the info on this site, http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html#FACTS
it doesn't sound like anything one would willing feed to a chicken. I did not see anything about it being used as a supplement.

No, it isn't water. See above link.

Actually it is just plain water. Water (H2O) is a chemical.

The lady said her farm was chemical free. So... she has no water?

Dihydrogen monoxide ... H2O.

That site was very funny

I've been hoaxed! Thanks for the correction. Ya know, when I read the response from halo, I thought, well, dihydrogen, that would be 2 molecules H, right? Mono's one. So, yeah, H2O. Then I went and googled it, to make sure. And right away clicked the exact site to read a load of BS! How embarrassing...but funny!

Okay trinity duck, risq, dancing bear and halo....HAHAHAHA...

We use organic principles but are not organically certified due to huge expense of certification. Maybe I should say naturally grown plants and veggies....But you all would jump on that one too lol...

Yes they do get H20}:

Oh you kiddos.....

Have a blessed day....Glad we all have humor....it's free isn't it and it's the best medicine there is!

Sorry to blurt in but that was quite funny.

I thought dancingbear was trying to play a joke, but it turned out she was the one the joke was on.

Haha, I had my good laugh today. Thanks.
