So anyway...

I went into lock down on the eggs. Fingers crossed we dont get too many that were late quitters. Lost just a few to not being fertile out of 18. Candled the rest for the last time at 2 weeks and saw nothing but solid mass..so I know they were going strong up to that point.

Of the eggs you ordered? Pictures are a must when they start to hatch!!

Here is a picture of my "water corner" that I promised. Nothing fancy but works great for all the different age groups that I used to have. I did the PVC thing with the central water tank and it looked great but was over kill. These are much easier to remove and clean or fill.

You know you want him stang

Ive got them down for the 27th but was on the low side of the temp, so am thinking the 28th will be closer.

LOL, I am trying to remember where all the time went, I'm a bit "off" my game today. I tried to "like" this comment with the green thumbs up button, does that tell you anything?

Does anyone here grow fodder for their animals.

Sounds like a great ideal, especially if automated.

I am sure that if anyone has it would be Rodney, Hannah, Terry or Daph.

Here is a link to the discussion: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/713334/growing-fodder-for-chickens

Seems like a good way to keep them green food for the winter.

not me.. I did some research on plants to have around the grazing area a while back and came up with Mustard, clover, and rape though.

those are nice. It looks like a rainbow! I am considering going a route similar. I guess for now my regular ones will have to do.

So, the mystery will be solved soon?
