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

[Lazy Farmer]

Move north if you don't like the AC bills. I only ran mine a few days this year.

we have not used our central heat in 2 years. Our fireplace keeps our brick house warm. We still fire it up for 10 mins or so to exercise it so it doesn't go bad on us. We have high bills in the summer and almost no bill fall, winter and half of spring. We had snow one year. Nothing like yours of course.View media item 7895339View media item 7895338View media item 7895337View media item 7895336View media item 7895341

They look really good!!! That's a lot of work...bottle babies.

Thanks, I did not mean to post and run but my dispatcher caught me as I was leaving and gave me an extra hour and a half of work. Bah humbug

For those who remember my bottle bucklings they have grown like weeds (though Fire and Ice got Barberpol so he is a bit behind). They are going to the buck show next month, but for now they are meeting the girls.

@Akrnaf2 Here is the dark egg he passed to the pullet, and the olive which my phone gives a yellow cast this evening.

Thoughts on these? Look interesting.

Ok...so they are supposed to have some growth factor as the bird grows? That's not quite so worrisome then. That's the part I was worried about. I like that they are narrower.
Are you going to try some?

I am not sure....Grasshopper... Thinking of it..

I am in a bad mood... I got this today:

My mailman brings me all kinds of junk to the door but this he decides to leave inside a black Mail box in 80 degree sunshine.....It was actually hot to touch.. I am guessing he thought the inside of the box was not a warm place.
I am guessing it is worthless now, I shall be visiting the Post Office tomorrow.
