My 3 poults have officially been integrated in to the flock. I left them out of their separation pen all day yesterday, all night last night and all day so far today. They seem to have been put in their place and are doing well in the flock I'm really hoping that at least the 2 penciled ones are girls. Usually, that's not my luck but I'm hoping.

The poult on the left in the first pic is probably a Sweetgrass. The white poult without a dark center stripe may be a Royal Palm. The light gray with the reddish color on its head is some kind of buff, possibly like the one @holm25 had last year. The bronze looking poults may come out bronze with hidden color genes or may even turn out to be one of the Narragansett varieties such as the Semi-Color Semi-Gray ones or be the same version in bronze.

The kids discovered my garden... Today, I put up a barrier to try and keep them out. They totally decimated two of my raised beds. Thankfully, they didn't discover the peas in the third bed. So today I also replanted the first two and we'll see how it goes. I will give them credit for being some of the best tillers I've ever met. Once everyone rotates through the hotel suite, I'll send them back out to pasture and plant in the greenhouse. I had to break out the fans today to cool the greenhouse for them.

Oh no on your garden! I surely would cry over that. Cause it takes me forever to get my garden in because of my dumb degenerative disc riddled back. I am jealous of you havin peas! I have everything in cept for my beans and peas. Hopefully this week i can get those livin in the dirt. I do jave lettuces ready for the takin and radishes though in my greenhouse. . Somethin has dug up my new asparagrasses bout half of them. Ugh! I jad replant that this year cause they either didnt like the raised bed i had them in or the cold got them. Last year was my first go at them and we were lookin forward to gettin a handful of them thos year. They should have been ok though.... that is my only raised bed and we ised compost, peat and sand in it.

What humidity should I aim for as I incubate these poults-to-be in their final 2 weeks and also lockdown?

 

[rjohns39]

There are others out here way more experienced than me... But I go 40% to lock down and then boost to 65%.

 

[OneMountainAcres]

I incubate at 30-35% for the first few weeks then up to 65% for lockdown.

I aim for 80+ RH during lockdown to soften the shells.
