EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

Good luck. Getting someone to do more than talk can be a real PITA

30 minutes on the phone with three different people. Refrigerator can not be replaced due to it only having parts replaced twice in the last year. It needs to be 4 times in a year with parts replaced. They don't count the other two that were before last years time. More fun. Tech will be called on Monday for yet another appointment.

I hope is is a pullet. Enjoy Ireland. That is somewhere I would love visit for vacation.

Thank you! You can visit me after my house is done. Although it is not in a very interesting area. It's a rural area in the middle of the country, no tourist attractions. I am mainly looking forward to having some space for more chickens, haha!

Yes, I am putting field fence over the five wird barbed wire fence. I have seven rolls left to buy and hang after this one to be done unless I build a dividing fence. I hope you are drying out.

Nice I need more fencing.

If not I understand,,

Oh, Ralphie.... I'm so glad you're ok. I must admit, I'm a physician, and like Mel have been known to refuse to go to the ER before, etc. After I hit my head and hurt my neck, I probably should have sought treatment. Why not? Too much to do (including all that heavy lifting, lumber prep, yard work... ). I'm a horrible patient.

My first thought was wow why didn't you go but then I thought back and well I've done the same so glad your still here.

Yuuuuupppp...

I see you lurking, Kristin

I think I fell asleep leaving the thread open.

@Fire Ant Farm !!!!

Hey, Dad!!!!

Chicken Math

My last feed run ALMOST looked like that (or at least it seemed like it did).

I was running on a bad sleep deficit, so I slept in this morning (in a big way) - up briefly at 7:30, then back down until 12. Still need more catching up, but at least I'm feeling human. Of course, that's less time to do all the chores. I just finished coffee and breakfast/lunch, and so I'd better get going...

Now you REALLY sound like my Dad - when he wanted to call one of us, he would run thorough all the names (including the dog's name) until he hit the right one.
