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

[BantyChooks]

Nice guinea soup will be nice in this weather!

Yup!!

I was outside because mainly it is 52* in the middle of winter and the sun is shining brightly, and because I wanted to map out the area of the coop inside my head some more. Standing there I realized that in a couple spots are some decent sized puddles of melted snow and rain..Is there something I could do to help make it not so water/muddy for when our chickens are out in the run?

I picked a place for my run that had some slope, no puddles but now every time it is muddy I slip and almost fall.

Dumb question for any electrical types in here: When joining two 14ga wires, what size wire nuts do I need? 14ga? Do wire nuts even come in gauges?

I think maybe it's a "76B"?

What for they are used? Got it , we use this

 

[Fire Ant Farm]

I'm not shopping, I'm sitting on my hands waiting for tomorrow, that's day 7!

Argh! I wish I could candle mine. I'll have to settle for Day 10 candles.

(If you set yours on 12/21, isn't this Day 6? I thought the day you set was Day 0... or did I get that wrong?)

Lol.


I set December 20th Wednesday morning at about 8:00 AM so is it day 6 or 7? ( now I'm confused ) I thought I was on day 6

A little, but I'm thinking very short term with her not having any calorie input at all. She's drinking.

The guineas are now going after Jazzy. That's the final straw.

I'm surprised you've waited this long. I'd deal with it asap.

Oh - you set a day earlier than I did (I set on the 21st). I thought Day 0 was the day you set (I thought that was what Sally told me once), but it always confused me a little, so hopefully someone will come correct me. So, if Day 0 IS the day you set, then your day 7 is tomorrow, and mine is Wednesday.
