YO GEORGIANS! :)

By the way, the teacher from Conyers that contacted me wanting eggs...

She's covering FIVE total 1st grade classes, so she needs about 100 eggs to hatch (20 per class). But they moved the set week to April 11th. That's pretty far in advance, so if any of you think you can spare some eggs around then, let me know, and I can pass on the information.

Since they are doing it for a class, there is a chance that you could probably ask for the chicks back (or at least most of the chicks) once the eggs are hatched. I can only imagine the trouble this lady may have with 100 newly-hatched chicks and a bunch of first graders who can't keep them.
Hopefully she's very careful about allowing them to go home. When I do hatching for classes here I make sure to meet with the parents (or at the very least talk to them on the phone) and am sure to explain what the needs are for properly caring for a new chick through to adult chicken.
 
Well.. I just get so disheartened every time I look at my Brahma eggs. I swear I get the feeling that ALL SEVEN are duds. And they're the ones I paid cash money for!! :(

Honestly I feel great about my AMs, and I swear I can even see a difference in my BCM too.. Seriously!

Where did you buy them from?

That's why I figured it might be okay if not easier on her if you just ask for the chicks back after they hatch. Then no one has to worry about whether or not they can get rid of them all, and whether or not they go to good homes. Just "breeder wants them back" and all is well.

Besides, it's cheaper on the one supplying the eggs - because you aren't using your own electricity to incubate them! lol!
 
I just recently joined Backyard Chickens and wanted to drop in to say "Hello!' to my fellow Georgians!

I don't have any chickens yet but I hope to have my first chicks in the next week. I'm sure I will be here frequently seeking advice and moral support! I'm very nervous about this new endeavor!
