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

[Fire Ant Farm]

Quote: Dief!!!!!

As @heatherfeather7 leaves Pennsylvania, she is 3 ducks, 6 hens (I was going for 8, but her daughter is too well behaved in chicken math) and three fish richer. She also has the answer to yesterday's question. "Abi, what is that stuff on all the cars?" Her car is now discolored by road salt too!

I am richer for meeting Heather and her daughter, as well as the stuff they left with me. Including the three hermit crabs, and a hamster.

This is so awesome!!!

GOOD MORNING, COFFEE CREW. I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A SAFE AND PRODUCTIVE DAY.

Thanks, MC! Good morning!!!

*happy dances*

all 4 of the baby chicks survived the night. They are up and running over each other in the incubator. I'm going to feed the pig, then put her outside, then move them too the brooder with my 2 older chicks once i'm fairly certain they are stable enough to move to the heat source. I just wanted to give them a chance to recover before moving them.

Morning all.....


I have decided to follow the @Auroradream26 method of chick hatching. Call me Jess from now on.

Good morning, Jess!!!

Who wants to make guesses on who will pip first? Ma, mb, mc, md, me, mf, mg, mh, aa, ab, ad, ae, or af?

af, only because those are the initials for Ant Farm.

@meltel

And good morning to everyone else. I gotta run, just wanted to say good morning!!!

That was my guess too, but I saw it had been taken. What is mg?

If the first letter is m (ma, mb, mc, md, etc.) it's a magpie. If it starts with a (aa, ab, ad, etc) It's ancona. Then I just put letters to tell one from another.

so Big Changes here as soon as I am able to permeth dust and ivermectin birds.....
I decided to sell off the Tolbunts, and the majority of the Marans, OE and misc in the OE Marans coop.  And the crele orphs and those  growouts have to all go as well.  I also canceled the hookbill order from Metzlers.   But I do have goose eggs that should arrive today, oh and a few eggs from Jess. 

Been doing some reading on wormers. Valbazen seems favoured by most. Interested in why you choose ivermectin.

Morning all.....

  method of chick hatching.   Call me Jess from now on.


I put my eggs for this Thursday in the hatcher last night around 5pm.  I was slower than normal in placing them in the hatcher.  I always have placed them on Tuesday afternoon so far this season.  When I placed them I had the one Turkey egg that had pipped...Which puts me waaaaaaaay into Jess territory.  I went to look today and I have Chicks in 2 out of 5 trays.  These chicks should not be here until tomorrow evening.

They are my EE's They are a day and a half early.  The turkey egg has not changed.

Haha, and I thought you were so organized! You know my way of doing it just hurries the process

Please tell me that they made it ok!

Quote: I alternate and only have wazine and iver right now. I dont want to send any mites or lice if I got some over winter, since I am not the one cleaning coops and caring for them right now, its best to be cautious. internals are easier to treat than externals by far so I will do both the iver and permeth dust before they go.
