Morning Uncle Pen. How goes it?

Morning Chaos went to work feeling a little better. Everyone here burst the bubble. "You don't sound or look better".
Other than that I'm fine. How about you?

That was nice of them to share. I'm sure the rain is much needed.

My dog somehow connected the shock to the collar, despite giving her treats with it on and not only putting it on when I needed to work with her... Now she only behaves with it on

my old Rottweiler I lost this year did the same thing. Put the collar on and she was a good dog. Take it off and wait about a week and she was back at her bad habits. Solution, leave the collar on. Didn't matter if it was dead

Had pups on a pillow on my lap attempting to keep them sleeping so I could take some snapshots, needless to say I took images of two pups only

this failed, the goats somehow got the pvc pip out and devoured 5 gal bucket of chicken feed!

Not sure WHAT to do now!!!! DANGGOATS!!!

lol good luck

I'm incubating eggs for the first time. I've been candling them every few days. I had been noticing their air cells hadn't changed much so I made sure to make a dark outline the last few times. Well, now I'm seeing charts and it looks as though they should be a bit larger. I'm on day 15- day 16 tomorrow. I have reduced the humidity because I read somewhere that it would help. I plan to increase the humidity at lockdown in 2 days. Is this correct? Also, all of my eggs look good, plenty of movement, great veins, but I wouldn't necessarily say that the chick is filling the egg at this point, is that normal? Thanks for any info or tips! I appreciate it!

looks like you got lots of good info, so welcome and good luck!!!

Welcome

There is a great notes section on the first page. I am a novice so I will tag the experts. Though I know you do increase it at lockdown.

i try, when i can keep up

good evening everyone! It's been a busy day here. My dad had surgery on his shoulder first thing this morning to fix a torn rotator cuff and a couple ligaments. It was successful and he sounded good this evening when I talked to him, though he admitted that he still couldn't feel anything from the nerve block (he sounded rather goofy too lol). We also had my son's band/chorus concert tonight which was really nice. Hope everyone is good and staying warm! (I'm freeing my tooshie off!)

hope he behaves himself, glad the concert went well

The egg is leaking stuff from the aircell end

toss it

well I got a rooster that is poor and got a hurt leg but he is gaining weight but slowly but I don't know what else to do

can you take it to a vet? maybe bring a stool sample to the vet?

You should secure the PVC with zip ties make hols in the bucket and the PVC tube with hot screwdriver and then connect them with the zip tie. You should do it from all the tube sides, 4.

yep i have this problem too

my old Rottweiler I lost this year did the same thing. Put the collar on and she was a good dog. Take it off and wait about a week and she was back at her bad habits. Solution, leave the collar on. Didn't matter if it was dead

my dog likes to test me, so it has to stay charged at all times, AND i need my hubby to actually use it and not encourage the dog to eat my chickens
