it's cold as all gitout but we are hatching up a storm here in N.H. buff orpingtons,lemon cuckoo orpingtons & a few english orpington X french bresse meat birds the crosses should be yummy come summer. i don't really sell eggs, i hatch em in season & get $5 each for them the left overs head...

Bee is that you??? i think we were both over on that other forum

well we got the eggs :) already set em the lady selling them said something about it taking 33 to 35 days for them to hatch ??? anyone ever hatched them out? she also had geese (loud) i don't think the people next door would dig all of that that is why i'm going with a quiet type of bird now...

they poor rabbit .....WOW:) we have 2 incubators running non stop with our buff orpington eggs in them in our area almost everyone wants pullets so we are left with lots of cockerels i love chicken but after last winter we figured out that chicken 3 times a week was JUST TOO MUCH!!! so we are...

over the winter i had one of my black imported english orpington hens fall over dead on me. (she was a $100 hen) sorry to say but it happens. this is why i love to hatch out babies you never know when a member of the flock will die so better you have some little ones who can take their place...

our 2 silkie hens want to brood almost all of the time we even had 1 that hatched out a cluck when it was -10f for a week they all hatched :) buff orpingtons can also be good if you are after another broody breed. the difference is the orpingtons can cover more eggs per cluch. good luck piglett

i had a silkie go broody in the middle of Jan. the next week it was -10f most of the week she hatched them all out now here sister is broody all the time i guess i should let her set & get over it she sure is lighter than the other girl her same age
