Paid 935 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Going for variety over numbers this year Some barnvelders, from my own flock Barnvelders are my fav utility birds, good eggs, and good meat. I also have a broody barnvelder who has hatched 5 today. These indian runners I bought in and these are the newest, some lavender pekins, also from my own flock, and I also have a broody sitting on some due next week. All others are incubated, and I have 16 turkey eggs in the incubator now. So who else is hatching what ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mackay 3,400 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Never bothered hatching before as I always just bought new stock in, I'm small time compared to you guys, but Jesus has the price gone through the roof or what, that Hugh Fearnimabugger guys got a lot to answer for.

Moll. 1,770 Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Must admit, starting to get a bit sick of chicks, another batch of 12 hatching as i type :wacko: Problem is you have to keep hold of the growers for a long time before you can really judge their potential, they seem to take ages to develop. Cracking little birds Paid, massive attitudes, not at all how you expect them to be, bit like the terrier version of the chicken world Quote Link to post Share on other sites
