Arizona Chickens

I just peeked in and had my hand's behind my back to make sure that I wasn't bumping anything, and seen an egg rock a little bit.

I still haven't had any hatch yet.

In the meantime, here's something that's a bit educational to read: A flock of about 240,000 chickens owned by Tyson Foods Inc in Kentucky tested positive for a highly lethal form of bird flu https://www.reuters.com/business/he...al-bird-flu-kentucky-chicken-farm-2022-02-14/

Here's another one from the CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/avianflu/

There's no danger to people, since they properly cook their food before eating, yet they cull the birds?! More fear mongering, I guess we all should stock up. At least they're admitting that wild birds are spreading it, and not the backyard flocks.

Hopefully you'll have some hatch!

I guess that will be causing a shortage on chicken's in the grocery store's now?

I went in to check on the egg's, and seen that 2 of them had pipped on the underside of the egg's, so I flipped them over. Hopefully they didn't drown before I caught that.

I'm taking Buster in to the vet's later today for his nail trim appointment.

But as all of the older bird's that caught that bird flue over there and had to be culled makes you wonder. They will have to replace their culled chicken flock's with chick's and regrow them out. I'm wondering if the hatcheries and post office is going to be able to keep up with that increased demand?

I don't know if they got caught up with demand over the past two years, so I guess you better hatch a lot of chicks to sell!

Nope, not me! Even those first 5 Bielefelder's that I hatched the middle of November will not be laying egg's in time for that. I figure that the first pullet egg's out of them will happen maybe by June? Those first egg's are going to be too small to hatch.

Maybe, that is if they have enough hen's to lay those fertile egg's that will hatch out all of the chick's that will be in demand.
