Mother Bird reporting for duty! I love these missions! Bring em on Silkie!!
Chief Petty Officer Moxon reporting. Congratulations Queen of the Fluffed and Furled Fowl! So happy that you are doing a hatching mission! They are fun!
Reminder thread for titles! http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/914101/
Wren, you are Chief of Wild Bird Operations (CWBO Wren)
Let's get those pics going and have a fluffing party! Hooray!!
Commander Catscan is hiding out on a secret mission... Maby a lil team effort will pull her out of hiding.. and maby even get her to post pics??
Commander Catscan, you get your fayoumi-buyin' butt out here and do your duty or else we're gonna come over there and haul you out for 20 lashes with a wet noodle.
Photographic evidence of your secret mission is requested. We are all at the "need to know" stage here. What's that? Did I hear the word "maran" echoing across the country all the way to Iowa?
LOL @ Moxon
Go get er Claire!
woke up to one buff silkie with a good pip and extra cracking but little thing is stll not out yet. got in the mail today 12 bantam barred rock eggs, a serama x sebright egg and a bantam rir egg. to kool my bantam barred rock daisy needs a flock for her so hopefully we'll get some babies in there too!!
Oooooh! Serama X Seabright! CPO Moxon is envious....
Commander Catscan is now my hatching pilot... All Mother Bird's eggs are going to the secret location as to keep mother bird's hands out of the bator and really get a hatch! LOL
Commander Catscan is a chick slave right now.. Oh to be overwhelmed with fuzzy life forms!
Okay.. I told.. Sorry Commander.. I was forced.. LOL
Aye Aye CWBO Wren back to duties. Was out rescuing some epies. May have to go on another run Wed. to get the other three. Poor plants!!!!
Where did you rescue them from CWBO Wren? Were they in a hazardous big box environment?
Mother Bird ZZ, Commander Catscan and I have had a secret penedesenca mission ongoing. Let's call it, Secret Mission P. It has been highly successful!
Acknowledged. AM involved in that mission, to a lesser extent... and alternate source..
Congratulations for a successful win Secret Agent P I mean.. Ummm
Continuing mission P.. standing by. *confusing self*
They where in a Ace store nursery. Not the right soil and too much light. the Rhipsalis separated into two plants. So with these 2 now 3 plants and two cuttings I get in the mail that brings my total of epis to----drum roll please----201 epis and 18 Christmas cactus and 1 easter cactus.
CWBO wren
Holy guacamole CWBO Wren! That's akin to a hatching addiction! I love my Rhipsalis campos-portoana, but it is the only one I have. I would like some other Rhipsalis species. I have 1 Christmas cactus, and it is presently flowering. :-)
My christmas cactus are budding up. And you are right it is addiction. I do not know the full name of the Rhipsalis that I get but it is hand written on the label "Twist" Iit says fall Blooms yellow-white
If you would like some cuttings from it d-mail me and I would gladly send you some.

Lieutenant LL 020179 reporting for duty
I am dyin to see a showgirl chick.. Just think that would be the cutest thing ever!!
Ninja Dahlianut reporting for duty sir. Aliens have fled and all steady as she goes in the coops. Ready at the go to man the TWT.
alright still on first pip, bummer, but it is 2 days early so i'm not messing with it. i have been checking every so often and it is peeping, has a breath hole and still wiggleing. it will be awhile for this first baby but i see a beak and it is chattering!!
they r not here yet for me to show u pics zz but here is siblings from the last hatch for ya to see. these r all showgirls although some look silkie,lol
pip #2 is a white silkie egg, woot!!! buff baby is doing good. i took flashlight and looked in at the membrain and it still has veining so it pipped to early but should be fine all looks good. watch those little turkeys will all start zipping and popping after i go to bed, ugg i hate that. then i miss it all and wake up to a bunch of babies, it's just not the same, lol.
Oh Oh Oh.. I love showgirls.. I just love em! They are so cute Silkiechick! Thankz for the chick pic fix till the current mission is complete!
Oh lil booboo babbiez... chicken babiez.. come on chicken babiez... LOL (If I were outside, I'd be attacked for saying that.. ) LOL
{{{CovertOpGrow is secretly watching from the wings in fear of being asked to behave properly}}} Love the pics...
Da Genrul is watching.......
Huggggs Moxon....
rotfl, i love u all ur a hoot!!! i got a killer migraine and can't think at the moment, i can't wait for hatching but i hope they r not to early.
I'm sorry you have those silkie.. the computer is killer when I have one.. I know.. it's so hard to read.. or focus.. I hope you feel better very soon!
i hate them they r not actual migrains it is from probs in my back from old injuries which cause migrain effects which r actually 100 times worse. sometimes i have bad spells so bad they r like have seisures when my back starts to spasm bad. they frighten me it can get really bad. i'm hopeing my meds work so far no luck. yes, light, comp, noise, everything kills my head and back.
going to check the sportsman again see if anything new. i just set more serama eggs and all my eggies i got shipped in. i do not have serama crosses so i'm actually excited to see what hatches from that one!!
here is another last hatch pic. i love to snuggle and kiss them on there hot tiny necks,rotfl. love, love to spoil showgirl babies!!!
#3 pip is a serama!!!! buff baby is finally slowly starting to crack around a little from pip. white still looks same but all r chirping happily!!! i can't believe i got 3 pips this early, holy cow! come on little babiez!!!!! momma can't wait to spoil all the fluffies!!!!
Feel Better Immediately Silkie...Thats an order...I hate to see you down in the middle of a Mission especially....
Hi Silkiechick - hope your head and back will feel better soon. I recommend a hot bath - that usually helps my back, but mine is usually muscle/tension related.
Here is a basketful of your chicks. :-) They are all adorable. One of the buff ones has stripes on its back - might be a bit partridge-ish? They hatched from Friday through to yesterday. They were actually due on Thursday so I had been nervous but they came through fine. :-)
Here is another picture of them. I just love them all!
General Dusty. Thank you for the hugggzzz! I send some back your way too! We hatching crews must keep each other supported sometimes.
Covert Op Grow. Please come out from under your rock, or you may be accused of improper behaviour. ;-)
Here are my 2 hatches of gold laced cochins from this past few days.
This is just their heads. I love the coppery top on their head. Any guess on M/F?
hmmm. what initials were on the eggs?? either i sent u extra colors or someone messed up marking eggies cause now i think of it i thought i sent u all whites and buffs. the only other thing could be is if they threw some partridge cause not seperated long enough. i think it was u who asked me when i listed them i said it was possible if they hadn't been seperated long enough but if that's the case i'm surprised there is no showgirls that color. however u got a splash and a blue in there that is what is confuseing me,lol. let me blow them pics up again. by the way they r very beautiful so glad u shared pics with me!!!!
i'm feeling better some but my pills r makeing me loopy and i don't like it, can't think.
if i'm not mistaken i believe u got-
1- blue
1- splash
3-buffs
2-whites
3- partridge at least the 2 darker ones i'm pretty sure r. the light chipmonk one mabe a buff partridge.
houstan we have a baby hatched!!! the buff silkie has officially zipped and kicked it's way out and it peeping mad!!! rotfl, omg it is so cute!!! it is kicking around the egg carton mabe the sound of it will intice the others to come out while it is working on drying. still same 2 pips left the serama and white silkie. mabe by morning we will have at least 3 of them hatched. i can't wait to see this one all fluffed up!!
