That's about 12 miles to the gallon....what are you driving?

I remember when has was $0.99 a gallon. Those were the days!

It got all the way up to 70 yesterday--a regular heatwave. Foggy and chilly today--I'd take some of everyone else's heat, if I could!

Ok that sounds like @chiqita complaining about hatching too many pullets.
Like listening to rich people complain about rich people problems

The Konza Ranger eggs are ahead of the Pita Pintas. They have all four internally pipped and are very active in there. Do you think they spent a day under the Broody?

If so, it may explain why those four made it. There is a theory that incubating for a day and then shipping helps them survive shipping better.

My silkies have been doing some inaverdant testing of this by tucking eggs under their wings/and hiding them when I collect. I have noticed it being good for shipped eggs.

You're just a spring chicken! I remember when it was $0.35/gal! Does that make me old?

99¢ a gallon would be an absolute dream right now!

My SO has been saying the same thing lately... I have really had to bite my tongue on the on part!

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who emailed about the Wheaten/ BCM chicks.

It is seeming they will have a very nice home to go to shortly.

There is a huge fire raging in our Napa County area, about 1 mile away from us--you may have seen it on the news.
Many of the locals have already been evacuated. It is very smoky/ hazy this morning, and there have been helicopters flying low and overhead. We have eggs in the incubator, brooders full of chicks, and juvies of all ages right now. (Working on BCM F1 stock.) Hopefully, the wind doesn't change direction, and come our way.

Well I found one of my CLB boys perching on the edge of the box 3 times yesterday. He was just as happy as could be. He is also the one that seems to have overcome the flightiness the fastest. It was really funny to see yesterday. As I reached into the box everyone but he and the Delaware ran for the corner they actually ran up to my hand. We are starting to get there. It seems as the feathers start really coming in and they spend more time awake they get more interactive.

It must have been something like a bit of broody incubation. The first Konza egg will be out soon--One had a pip this morning.

the Pita Pintas looked like they were supposed to look on day 18 and will probably hatch on time on Friday. I bet the Konza Rangers will be hatched by then.
