[Glutton4...]

Blimey Lynda you are a glutton for punishment, perhaps you should change your name - Oh, sorry, someone else has already got that one!

It was very brave of you to open them and thanks for posting the pics, I just had to look. Anyway, I wish you the very best with this lot. Like everyone, I'll be checking in regularly.

[kirsty b]

And me. Hope the next batch are successful. All you guys hatching chicks is making me determined to have a go at it next year.

....... well at least theres only 6 days or so to go

You might have arranged for it to happen at weekend Lynda!!

[lynda66]

ooops sorry was one of them spur of the moment decisions lol anyway, they may be a bit late cos of the early low temperature

[moggssue]

Lynda, I looked as well, beautiful babies! I'll be with you in spirit with your new eggs and wishing you all the very very very bestest of luck with them .... you are a very brave lady (and yes, a glutton for punishment I agree with too haha!!).

[Bephlam]

Oh lynda - the chicks were lovely!! You were very very brave opening them up, and burying them is a lovely gesture.

Here's hoping your 'secret' eggs will hatch - you naughty thing!!

B xox

Here's hoping for the current batch of eggies then! I also didn't fancy a look at the pics but well done for trying. Silkies are lovely - do you know if they are black or white ones? (sorry, no time to wait for this steam-powered pooter to load the links)

I kind of hope one of ours will go broody in spring but hope they wait until we have built a bigger home with more than one nest box - we see the occasional queue for egg-laying now so never mind if one was sitting

[lynda66]

thesilkies are a mix of gold white and partridge, so no idea what the 2 growing chicks will be ..... and i still have to get them to hatch yet ...... so still keeping fingers crossed

the new eggs i bought are .......... hatching eggs all crossed silkys, polish, leghorns, warrens, ixworth, stars and marans

so should be a nice selection as i bought 10 eggs this time

*smiles at the egg queue

[Nicos]

Oh Lynda....I've got my eye on some Marans...but they're about twice the size of my pullets!!!! ( watching the other thread about introducing bigger chooks....)

Chocolate brown eggs....yum!


Ummmmm....this chook thing does sort of get a bit addictive doesn't it?????

[Flummery]

Don't get yerself all worked up Nicos - they don't TASTE of chocolate! Now that'd be a winner eh?

[lynda66]

rings up and cancels the non chocolate chocolate eggs
