Title: Hatching Mercy Mission🙄
Post by: sarah angus on May 05, 2022, 04:15:19 pm
Hi Ya
Hope this finds the poultry fraternity well😂
So here's the story:
On a mercy mission. Been given 3 fertile aracauna blue eggs.   And 2 wee pals of mine would love some chicks to look after. Sadly I ve rehomed and passed on all my poultry and equipment before the covid. I
don't want to dissapoint the wee lassies or waste the eggs!
Does anyone have a small automatic incubator, that turns that I could buy, borrow or swap? I have established  and potted approx 100 small woodland trees, shrubs and plants of 30 varieties. Or a pair of black painted  iron  bench ends. Could swap these?
Can collect forfar, Blair, Dundee areas.
Preferably Monday at the latest.
Here's hoping.  🙏.
Sarah

If you’ve had no luck I could put them in my incubator for you?
I’d rather keep it here.
Been getting great hatch rates from my hens eggs. Wasn’t planning to hatch any more just now but it’s empty. If you’ve got people who’d take chicks at day old I can do another batch if you/they’ll take them off my hands?
I’ve got speckled Sussex and Sussex x Marrans.

Hi Ya
Greetings,
Quick update
3 hatching eggs safely delivered and  in expert hands ( thanks steph 😇). And hopefully 3 weeks down the line there'll be a lively brood.
Also two exuberant girls praying for a time machine so as to take home chicks today. Even mum's relenting. Chicken coop blue prints lining the kitchen floor.
Thanks also to Rosemary and family and their vital TAS platform.
Thanks to all who helped even in thought.
Good health to you all.
Sarah
