Wendell I think your idea sounds like a lot of fun. Can't commit right this minute, not knowing what will be happening at home and at work but I certainly hope to make an appearance.
My shed kit delivery is scheduled for this Friday. Fingers crossed really tightly. Once I get a time I can plan the rest of the day including picking up Bill and hopefully stopping by Wendell's on the way home. Unless the shed delivery will be afternoon and screws up the whole day LOL. Have a conference call late morning, and I'm hoping delivery is early so once the call is done I can hit the road. Poor Bill, I warned him I had been using his room for some storage and projects - wait until he gets here and sees a bin of meal worms and an incubator LOL. I actually told him already I had the meal worms in there - his response? "Cool!"
Speaking of incubator, the one I had delivered had faulty thermometer and hygrometer, which I could live with as long as the actual temp was stable. I ran it two days and the thermometer inside said 99.5 but the one on the lid said 89 (and with no water, humidity was reading 60-80%), so I unplugged it Sunday, and Monday on the way home stopped and picked up a thermometer at Lowe's to see which one was right. Plugged it back in, and it couldn't surpass 70 degrees even after 12 hours on all three thermometers. Packed it back up and shipped it off to return it. Stopped at Big R on the way home and bought a new one, because (OMG) I ordered 18 Silkie eggs from an NPIP show breeder in WA which are due tomorrow. Can't set them the moment they arrive of course, but I do have to know I can hold temp.
I also may be able to get some RIR eggs the following week from Greathorse, if if if his hens start laying better. If so I will add to the incubator, so I would have hatches a week apart, and will hatch (move eggs day 18) in a still air with no turner to keep the turner in the first one clean.
Spent some time this afternoon on the way home making sure I was still sane. I am simultaneously elated that my shed will be here and we should be able to get it put together in time for brooding chicks, and terrified I'll do something wrong; then I say to myself, come on, you've raised plenty of chicks before, hatching them here is the logical step, and the opportunity to have really nice quality chicks to start my broody flock and to be able to share or raise some really nice quality RIRs is one I can't pass up. Within a week or two I can pick up my share of the Bantam chicks from Dennarahl. Then the day old pullets will arrive, then the Albritton Sussex and the Urch Leghorns (plus all the poults and others' Urch chicks) and I will be immersed in fluffy chicks and think I am in heaven. Yes, even having to clean every evening and ensure feeders and waterers are filled and clean. I am excited beyond definition.
I am so excited about the chicks. I'm going to pick up chick feed tomorrow or thursday morning and on friday when they get here I'll let you know exactly how much you'll owe me.
