➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

Good question. It is beyond me why the United States refuses to switch.
I bet you become fully comfortable with the system in under a year.

If I actually wanted to learn it I could tonight but since I don't really want to it might take me a month.

Ok. So it is day 21 and I have two eggs left in the incubator. Normally I would say they’re done...but...

I just had one pip and hatch last night, all nonchalant, like it was no big deal.

I candled them tonight and the embryos look well developed (fills the eggs) and the air sacks look drawn down. That is about all I can tell.

Thoughts? Would water testing tell me anything. Am I just wishful thinking?

No! No water testing. If there's any malpo pips you can't see, you run the risk of drowing them. The only thing it could potentially tell you is whether it wiggles during the time that it's in the water or not. Far from an exact test.

I think it'd take a bit longer than that to know it as fully and instinctually as you know Fahrenheit. It's like learning a new (albeit rudimentary) language.

It's 30.556 but it feels like 35.

Don't you dare put them in water.
It will kill me.

Can you see any movement in the air cell?

my french bulldog once ate a whole squirrel skin before DH got finished skinning and disposal!!! he was constipated and pooping fur for a week!!

Wait a minute. Have we seen this dummy yet?

You’re so much smarter than me

Nah. I've just put more time into this vein of thought than you have.

It's nice and cool today.

It's nice and cool today.

I think I'd rather go sunbathing on the surface of the moon than live in Texas.

To what extent? I can guarantee you that if you try to build a chicken coop but with measurements only precise to within a foot, you're going to have a real hard time of it. Yet at the same time, tolerances of .0000000001 aren't possible or useful. The concept itself is absolutely useful for daily life. Everything around you, every product of the modern age, owes its existence to the continually refined definition of "precise".

Very true!! And well said!!

And that would be one wonky looking coop.

YES. That's what I've been trying to tell you. If you simply learn both systems of measurement, by, say, changing your weather station to read Celsius, then you won't have to do the math in nearly so many situations. You'll just know, the same way you know Fahrenheit.

I’m gonna try this just for fun haha

I think I misread your last post.

:lay

Why am I just now being force to learn this at my age?

You didn’t learn it in school? We used to do both sometimes. Didn’t spend a ton of time on it but we definitely learned it and did it in science and math classes haha

It's okay, most people start getting crosseyed from boredom about two posts into any given one of my random essays/rants, so you made it longer than expected.

For what it’s worth, I wasn’t bored but did have to reread it a couple times cause it was so smart.

Wasn’t even that big of words or ones I didn’t know or anything just the way it was written was so smart aha but it was awesome and I loved it

I need to start reading and writing again

Good question. It is beyond me why the United States refuses to switch.

It is definitely weird since almost everywhere else does metric!

Although we did learn it in school. I just don’t remember it lol

I might try it again even just to practice something smart.

Speaking of which, I’m gonna brush up on my geography while I’m at it.

I used to be really good at it and at a lot of other things but I haven’t used that skill (or most of the others) in a looooonggggg time so I’m very rusty.

I’d like to get less rusty though lol
