@MotorcycleChick you can keep your freezing temps. I'll keep my 100degree heat.

35*C is freezing?

You guys won't believe what just happened. Liz found someone in Seneca for me on c l that had female calls for sale. I e mailed them and they said they were sorry but they just sold them all yesterday. I sat here and got remembering that my best friends sister had some calls so I texted her to see if she might have any leads and found out that she bought all the ducks from Seneca! Too funny! So we are gonna get together next week and do some swapping! She is interested in the three little ones I need to get rid of. Couldn't have worked out any better

I live between Joplin and Seneca. Hello neighbor.

Hey dax

Hi! I hope you are well. How did the chicks turn out?

 

[daxigait]

I lost one of my expensive shipped in HRIR Monday
How come I never loose production or general birds, but lost the best of last year's hatch, and now one if the two hens I spent good money to get shipped here? I don't know if the feeder, or the rooster got her neck or just the heat and her neck was floppy I didn't have time to check and I was too disheartened. She was dead in the run by the feeder. No signs of a struggle.

No, but I thought about it

Incredible. What about winter? Does it ever go below 0°? Or do you not have a winter?

Yes, we commonly go to twenty below. Two years ago it was forty below.

Yes, we commonly go to twenty below. Two years ago it was forty below.

I never heard of a snow day till I moved down to the lower 48. The only day we ever miss school was 70 below zero and they didn't want to have us outside. Or try to run the buses

Not too bad, then... But your summers are brutal.

What were summer highs?

I think AK would be a great place to live, minus the grizzlies. You get nice weather and you're still in the US, so you can get chicks and eggs from the lower 48 without so much hassle.
