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

[kajira]

Well, the five for today are done. And the forecast wasn't quite right. it got to 100F, with heat index of 109, while I was out there playing with chicken guts. For the record - not pleasant. I managed to keep myself upright long enough to clean the processing area and all tools, and then move the remaining boys to be culled tomorrow to their brooder pens with water only. Aaaaaand now I'm gonna lie down in front of the AC vent...

My poor chickens were standing out there, while we hosed them down, i thought one of my polish crested was going to die, she's not doing very well. She's literally been laying in the pool of water, trying to cool off, and there's nothing else I can do to help her, she wouldn't lay on the block of ice i put out there.... dunno why.

I NEVER sweat, but it was so hot yesterday with the humidity, I was sweating, it was the oddest feeling. ^.^

The "Sqewwwww webisssss" does indicate, but not to grave.

I disagree, I think it shows severe brain damage!

 

[duluthralphie]

That's an indicator of sanity. Insane people such as Ralphie lack the SQUEEEEE response.

That's because I have a normal reaction to dux...

Sabrina has her baby by the duck pen. The baby's food and water are by the nest. Grr!

Good morning Abi

The broody hen had her chicks 50 feet from any water supply in the middle of all the hens and rooster. Not good. Moved them to a quieter area even though I promised myself that I would let let it take its own course.
Anyone know how to get pictures to go where you want them to be rather than at the top of post above quotes?

You have to remember to put the cursor at the end. Obviously, I still forget to sometimes.

Ok. I'll keep trying that. I even double space before loading pic weird.
Anyway down to 9 chicks now something happened to one of the lavenders.
