yes first 

Hey Sally, you can learn about the ligament at the tail. If you run your fingers along each side of the tail from the top of her hips, about half way down is a ligament. It will get thinner and thinner feeling until you can't feel it. When you can't feel it kidding is usually within twenty four hours.

So, ummm... Anyone else awake?

Me?

Good morning, Abi

The fact that I did indeed wake up this morning automatically makes it a good morning. Whether it continues throughout the day is yet TBD.
Have a good day yourself now, ya hear?

Good morning! I am not going to comment on four days of read back except to say thanks Ken for the thoughts with the flooding I am fine.
Kristin, I am glad to see the progress on your coops, but that looks like a ton of work.


Oh @microchick As someone who has lost a flock. I am sorry.

 

[mlm Mike]

Oh, and I have more chicks now + a dozen and a bit of eggs in the bator..... This is me downsizing....

Sweet! How many under broody hens?

I've got 2 out of 8 Ayam Cemani's so far!!!!

Congratulations, good luck with the rest!

The neighbors broody has finished 9 of 9 of the eggs I gave her.

Here's 8 the other just hatched.

Very nice!

Quail are hatching in an incubator I never used before. Hard to believe but I set to many eggs and had no place to hatch them. So I made a hatcher inside the incubator, I am turning eggs in and it worked! The quail eggs I am hatching are the first 7 eggs I got this spring. I want to greatly increase my quail population so MUST SET ALL EGGS. I will get a picture of my hatcher net time I open the incubator. I took a deli container poke a few holes in it, put a water soaked paper towel in the bottom, put a few straws on top of that to keep the eggs off the wet towel and went into lockdown on day 15. Today is day 18 currently I am 4 for 7 with 2 more working on it. I never thought it would work. Best part no incubator to clean, just need to clean a deli container or get a new one.

Good job, congratulations!

GOOD MORNING TO THOSE THAT WOKE THIS MORNING!
