➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

Yes.
I think if the baluts hatch they will be going outside on day one.
Same with my future quail.

You're going to put my babies outside on the 1st day?!?!

75ish. I checked after a few minutes of power and guestimated the gain.

I looked it up.

I've not heard of that brand name before. I noticed a trail of ants yesterday. They need to die...today. I'm actually fixing to head out now to go find something to kill them with.

Sevin works well (carbaryl).
Canada just banned it

I went ahead and just bought more permethrin.

We use sevin dust frequently on our property, never had a problem with it yet. Works very well for ants.

ugh
I'm in bumblefoot hell right now. I was trimming my chantecler trio's nails last night and discovered they all have it. Managed to get one all cleaned up and bandaged. Then when I went down to the coop with the next pot of warm water, I lost the tweezers.
My poor roo has it, just starting, beside one of his nails, between his toes as well as on the pad of his feet.

Need to get a really good set of tweezers tomorrow. Only problem is, today was Canada Day, so most places will be closed tomorrow so that all people can enjoy a long weekend.

Bumble foot is what I originally ordered my surgery pick ups for. They are basically long handled tweezers with grips cut into the ends. I've used them for so many chicken related things.
