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

[BantyChooks]

Put a life jacket on her and the two of you go swimming buddy style in the tub. Get over your aversion to duck poop. Your the one that loves the ducks now is time to embrace the poop.

Ducks and poop go together. I am sure you are hindering her healing by not truly loving every bit of her. Besides you might like taking a poop bath.

I'm crazy, but not that crazy, Dear.

I saw a video several months ago, possibly right here, of a baby bird leaving the nest for the 1st time. He hit the ground & bounced!

Yep, that was here... Looked like they were falling onto a trampoline!

Have tried that before. Didn't do anything.

Yes, sevin kills them. I have permectrin/permethrin (never can remember which) in dust form, which always has knocked louse population way down for a month or two in the past... I don't say cured, coz it sure didn't, and I doubt much can in this wreck of a coop...

I am not taking a bath with that little poop machine.

I luvs my birdies dearly, but she ain't goin in my bath tub.
Well, I guess if I bleached it after, maybe...

That's the only thing I had luck with.

I see you lurking, bestie!!

Taking a break from brooder building - I just cut all the lumber (no small task for three large brooders built out of panels). Been on my feet a little long, so I came in and played with the chicks some more (they are so nuts!). Speaking of nuts, I also moved the OE eggs into the 'bator with the high humidity, and since the other 'bator was looking so much more empty, well, 4 more Puppy eggs and 2 more Switch eggs "fell" in. They have china marker "x"s on them so no mistakes on which ones go to the hatcher at lock down. I'll brood them together (after brief separation for the younger ones to get their footing).

Come on, guys, somebody post something funny so I have something to read while resting!!!

(Or maybe I'll go read more about American Buff geese...)
