EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[BantyChooks]

Yeah i hear you. I used a kids bow for years cuz i couldn't pull back a adult one with my shoulders. I was good with it.... But eventually couldn't pull it back anymore....

 

[BantyChooks]

Well..... Time to get going. Y'all have a good day!

No, but Fred and Cmom said 30-38 weeks on the heritage RIR.

I had wondered about that. So they should be getting close.

so...with our decreasing daylight, do you expect them to begin to lay before February?

edited to add:
I have eleven Australorp with only two laying, the others might delay until late March

I don't know. I found a partially formed one under the roost when I went to get them to move them to the coop they will wintering in. Between the lack of light and integration I am doubtful. I will start light at the end of January if I have to so I can incubate sooner. My EE and Sapphire and production birds are still laying OK.

Fine.. the benedyrl seemed to help - he got eaten by fire ants yesterday, so he was a real grouch last night.

Ow, I don't blame him. I'm a grouch without being bit.

Some of my pullets have started I'm hoping they continue

I'm at home today with my daughter (she has a tummy ache). Normally when I am at work all I can think about are all the things I could get done if I was at home. Now I'm actually at home and can't think of what I should do!

This is a banner day.
It's not every day you can take a vehicle into a dealership for service & have it finished before the time they estimated it would be.
Maybe someone told them I was anxious to get back on here.

I had to take the truck ( '05 Dodge Dakota ) in for a safety recall; driver's side air bag could activate without warning...no collision needed. It was comforting that Chrysler waited 11 years to notify owners

As I was checking out, the service guy told me I'd be receiving another recall notice for the passenger's air bag, as soon as the parts are available

Strange that the parts for one side are available & the others aren't.
