Title: Hatching Eggs Wanted, Stirlingshire
Post by: Womble on August 09, 2013, 10:10:48 pm

Hi Folks,

I'm looking for an incubator-full of hatching eggs, and wondered if any folks local to me might have any for sale?

I can travel within Stirlingshire, Falkirk, out to Edinburgh a bit, and I'm also going to Kelso and back on Sunday!  :)

Any offers?  :thumbsup:

Want to try quail? 0

I've just been told by Kevin that I have a male and a female left, and that the one that died was a girl not a boy;  so my remaining girl and boy may have been giving me fertile eggs - I have 5 in the fridge right now you can try if you want. :eyelashes:

LOL, you haven't got anything larger have you Annie?  ;D    Whilst I'd love some quail, I'm really talking L/F hens here, and possibly some ducks once the incubator is free again.

Thanks for the offer though!

Stu has three in the big incubator, and after shutting them in tonight I now have a 6th egg.  I'm not quite sure what I'll do with them if they hatch though  :innocent:

If you're re-homing your copper Maran do you still want the one I have here for you?

I do Annie, I wanted to keep Cookoo and the Black came with a CBM hen I got. No need for him so I would rather pass him on than keep and although he looks great and very fit not knowing his age I don't want to try eating him!!!!!
