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

[mlm Mike]

Good question. I need more time to get the coop built, but all of a sudden the leaves are turning and summer has lost its teeth... I don't know how on earth I am going to get the coop cleared soon enough. Going to take several more weekends.

Going to have to put the rugrats to work!

I have. Even the youngest has pitched in and carries shingles away. He's too cute.

A bit on the cool side for late August, but feels good after what it has been. 60's here now.

Well we enjoyed a week of low 90's now it's climbing back up. Weekend 102
Today 98
64 degrees with 81% humidity right now, the humidity thing can quit already. Usually it's around 30% average

Good morning everyone

Interesting, never would have thought to use it on chickens.





I bought wasp poison aerosol spray the other day at TSC. When checking out he asked my birthday, I asked why. He said people sniff anything aerosol, I'm like that's nuts, this is for killing things.

We were watching a re-run episode of "Alaska-The Last Frontier" last , & Axe (sp.) Lee was burning a hornets' nest in the roof of the chicken house, with a propane torch. Had I not already seen it once, I'd have thought the chicken house was going up in flames.

Wow, it is late August, how did that happen?

The acorns are falling and they are huge. Not as many as years past but much larger.

Hello Pensmaster! I don't know how you take the triple digit heat. It's up to 54*F with 91% humidity, supposed to get rain sometime today.

Isn't that on Sally's list of tricks?

Ah, the coffee shop's open. Good morning, Abi. Can I buy you a cup?

I don't know. Can you?

Hi, Peter

Sounds risky. I have those ground yellow jacket nests out at the lake cottage. My neighbor found the one whole when cutting the grass, I found the second by being close to it and getting stung on the calf. It started out as a little round red spot, by the next day mid calf to down around the ankle is swollen. Hopefully I'll make it out there today and take care of any remaining little b*stards.
