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

[Pensmaster]

I am a genius!! I fixed it.

Your as warm as we are!!!!!!

 

[Pensmaster]

I didn't, but Thanks.

That dam of yours can't take much more, can it? Could get real nasty real quick.

They actually let more water out than is supposed to rain today.
But you're right they really need more than temporary fix.

Keets just love shiny blue things.

Don't worry, it'll pass more quickly than you think

Morning Heather how's the rest of the chickens doing from the dog attack.

Thanks for asking. The one with the worst injuries had to be put down on Saturday. It was really, really bad.

When you make a cake, you don't mess around!

If you're gonna do something, you might as well do it right, eh?

Quote: The roof panel is still mostly on (I have someone who's going to help repair it), birds are fine. When I get home I'll check the yard to see where the flow of the flood waters/runoff went...

@kwhites634 HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!

Happy belated birthday, Whites!!!!!

Quote: So far looks like they did. Full check when I get home from work today...

grats on the hatch.

Well - 2 nights of no power right before hatch, I just went into lock down today, so we will see what happens this week. They were alive when I candled them yesterday before my power went out, again. LOL

Sorry I crashed last night. Hope all is well.

(I crashed, too!)

Yikes. At least ours passed pretty quickly...

Here's radar it's supposed to look like this all day.

Nah, I was not freaked out, I wasn't swearing, that's how you can tell. I actually told someone I think he has White Legbars confused with white leghorns, I was trying to be Mr Helpful again and have him re-think what he had. Also I hate to embarrass people being the sweet kind guy I am. I kind of figured it out when he called them CCL which is no longer and accepted term in the Legbar community...

BTW I know I should sell them now, BUT I so like them, I am actually thinking of getting rid of my "normal" legbars and keep just the white. Besides, my reasoning is when the breed is accepted Whites will have a better shot at winning Best of Breed over the cream or crele. Judges (around here anyways) seem to like white over colors (in all breeds) because it is easier to judge and less subjective.

Well, if you like them for their own sake, that's certainly the best reason to keep them. I just get amused following the "fads" in chicken breeds and varieties...

@Fire Ant Farm

You got nailed, too huh??

​

​

What our horse pasture looked like this morning.

Yikes! Yup, got nailed bad, but my lot is sloped and water doesn't stand, it runs through (in a big storm, there's an impromptu creek that runs through the yard). You can bet the rain barrels are all filled to the top now...

I would say something, but my ducks are LOVING the flooded fields....... and I don't want to traumatize you by posting all the happy duck pictures.

Pleeeeeeease?! We'd LOVE photos!!!

Always buy land when you can.

I want to myself, but the land I'd get would be at a distance from where I live, so I wouldn't be able to care for it because of the commute. But I do sometimes look at land south of San Antonio (that's where the good farm land and pasture is - north is rocks and hill country, which is oddly more expensive land, but less likely to have good soil or water). What I'd really love is if one of my next door neighbors were to sell me their house (1.5 acres on one side, 2 acres on the other), but both of those houses are in families, and unlikely to be sold...

Look at this cutie!
