➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[BantyChooks]

Huh, I tried ones and I indicated 2 chicken eggs as quitters based on bloodring, but since it was the first time I was identifying quitters, I left them in the incubator and surprisingly they hatched. I have not done it since then. I was only looking for a bloodring and if they move or not. So shortly - no, I cannot identify quitters yet I am thinking of doing it at Lockdown though, as I do not like so many eggs in the incubator.

Gotcha. If they quit at more than around a week along, they no longer show a distinct blood ring, but rather a fuzzy, sunken look.

I'm just the opposite, I lose more birds in February than I do in July or August. Eventhough, I worry more about the high temps than low temps.

The yankees make me wanna pull some s out. Weak!? Ha! You go do my hour long feed up in 110*F sun and we'll see whos weak. Over 100 every day for 2 months (our heat wave is finally! breaking!) but i havent lost a single bird to it cuz my southies know how to take it. Ship me up north where it freezes for weeks and id die too.

I'm going to say since you've already had one egg explode you should go ahead and try and candle the other chicken eggs to see if you can tell if they are bad or not.

Do you have regular blood, or do you have lava in your veins??

That still doesn’t sound too bad to me haha I just looked it up and according to Google, Boston is like 30, 35 miles away. It’s like 40 mins to an hour usually but in rush hour traffic it can be several hours each way.

My brother goes the other direction to the cape (Cape Cod) but it’s still about an hour to and from work. Nobody goes that way so really no traffic.

Some people also live just over the border in New Hampshire, North of Boston, because New Hampshire has no income tax, and commute from there. I think it’s slightly further or maybe about the same distance as it is from here.

Some people also take the commuter train or subway in which I think is kind of a good idea cause then you can work on the train. From our train stop which is only like 5-10 mins away it’s an hour in.

Most people do this every single day.

My dad is lucky that he’s always worked from home. He does travel but at least doesn’t have to commute into the city every single day.

So I think some people would likely be jealous of your commute.

One year I had a job that was 50 miles one way. It was 100 miles round trip. I have had a number of jobs over the years that were 20 miles one way for a 40 mile round trip. Because of the distance to the mines here, there are a lot of people that ride company buses for their 100 mile one way rides to work.

Oh, I wasn't implying that 20 miles is far. That's a pretty normal commute, maybe even a little short for around here. There are a lot of people who commute from my town to San Francisco every day and that's more than twice the distance.

Wait why?

It takes a certain discipline to work from home. I did it for a couple of years and I loved it, but I had a dedicated home office and I considered my "commute" to be from my bedroom to the office. If you're the type to get easily distracted by the things you have at home, telecommuting is not for you.

When I candle I just take one egg out at a time.

Because I have a cabinet incubator, I pull one tray out at a time and close the incubator, candle the whole tray and put it back in the incubator.
