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

Morning peeps,
Hope all are well.

Looks like it's time for me to go predator hunting again. Spring brings out the hungry animals and looks like they are coming for my flock.

Lost a hen and a rooster Thursday night, set up and waited fri night, had a fox come in right about dusk. Shot at him, didnt get a clean kill, which really bugs me due to the fact that I don't miss. Was hoping I had at least scared him away for a bit. Lost another hen and a rooster yesterday afternoon. This seemed different though, no feathers, no sign of a struggle, just gone. I could tell something was different when I went to lock up due to the fact birds were all scattered and over half were not in the coop well past usual roost time. When I came out I had onesies and twosies come running to the coop. Was hoping maybe the rooster at least was hidden up somewhere so I did a walk around this morning before leaving for work hoping to hear a crow or see him pacing the coop door trying to get to his ladies but it was silent. Put out the trail cam and realized the batteries were dead.

@MotorcycleChick Thank you for the Java.

I'd be shopping for a different feed PDQ. I thought there were laws against rape!

I didn't even remember turning off the heat until Heatherfeather7 mentioned having to turn her heat on last night.

How can you live like that?

LOL
How can you live with the heat?

I can't I HATE the heat, I am a winter man BUT my winter is barely the beginning of Autumn in your place, mo snow and the minimum temp is around 4-8C.
