I won't have eggs set till around midday tomorrow, will that still count? Late to the punch this year. Wasn't gonna hatch at all but our favorite breeder is like urgently trying to get rid of hatching eggs before they go bad. Figure what's the loss 🤷♀️😅
I'm in the desert now. I get to avoid most that. We actually had a tornado about 10 miles from our house a couple weeks ago. Uhhh. I think if you google shallowwater tornado it'll pop up. It actually threw a chicken run at a storm chaser. 😮
I'm happy to no longer be on the coast in some senses...
Our area is having bad windstorms daily so as a result lotttts of pollen, despite not even having trees. I wake up every morning take claritin, benadryl and either us my inhaler ot keep it on hand. It has become a serious nuisance. But at least it's become an automatic habit now.
Brought home...
Yours are growing fast!
Mine are officially in the garage as of yesterday. Needed space for the new chicks. All but one is fully feathered tho so they're ready enough. The silkies feathers are a bit crazy atm. But I figured id just go get him at night if temps were a little low. My runs are...
When I first hatched a chicken egg 2 weeks ago I was so stressed when things would pip and take 12+ hours for action. But on the other hand, I was used to hatching quails and those things will pop right our consequences be damned. I've yet to lose any of my chicks that pipped or hatched. Unlike...
Second pip is soon to hatch here. They coming so early! The other I expect to be a few hours after the rest as I placed it a few hours after the original noon timeline
Give me a few weeks to know the sex of my silkie. If its not a male I'll need one. Ideally a blue. Trying to work on blue laying silkies who lay more eggs 🤣
And yeah I'd definitely send pullets or just eggs for you to hatch. But I actually would need to research and probably breed for a few...
I have a polish roo. But current pairing will lead to only lemon males, and silver females. However with a lemon male I'll be able to produce silver and gold of both genders with my silver and gold hens. There will be lemon roos too. But 🤷♀️ can't win them all.
One of those date exceptions huh? I set at the 12 on suggested date thing. So mine are obviously due soon. I'm excited. So far my own polish eggs have had a 100% hatch rate. And they're cute af. I need at least one roo from them because they'll create bigger variety of morphs.
