Storm missed us it seems.
Last night though apparently wind tangled with the barn door. Lil country boy attitude ad a barn ckeaner (mini skidsteer 30" wide bucket. Have it close but the runner rail is twisted, so I can't open the large door.
Finished the 3'x5' brooder the wife framed. Could be better could be alot worse (You should see some of my constructions). Went to check out a Craigs list ad other day and guy "Wanted to get out of the chicken biz" and wanted new price for old supplies. Had a brooder 10+ years old 4x8 and wanted $40 for it Thats all he payed origanally for it. That irritated the wife, LOL. So she built 1.
He was asking $10 for all birds, hen or roo, and were all cross bred for sexlink. Wife insisted on getting a roo, now she wants a flock like him
now I need a Light Sussex hen, or a very neutral bird. Last option is 3-4 years of intense breeding. He can get me back RIR strain though mating with mine.
Anyway GL on the hatches. Hope power comes back. My last hatch (And 1st in 2 years) I lost power for 6-8 hrs and temp in bator was down to 60's. Still hatched 24/42. So hopefully you will fair as good or better.
Hoping my next hatches (4 counting a broody hen) I am hoping to fair better myself. Espeacially the guineas and duck eggs when I set them.
