Congratulations I am glad you are making progress. But how everybody is talking about building I got the runners and the 10 up on my 14 by 18 extension on my barn Saturday it was a good day's work.View attachment 1152089
Baby Sunday I said it's too beautiful I'm just going to go for a ride. It was a beautiful fall day and I really needed it.

@kwhites634 How is your tractor coming along?

@Pensmaster How did your hatch come out?
You remember those free cages I got from Culligan that they were going to throw away, I tore one of the two blue ones apart and then had the side of one welded on the other so it had four sides and added angle supports. Now all I need is to put the welded wire around the outside and put on a door. What do you think?

Is that the reading from the bator meters or calibrated Aux meters? Still air or forced?

I always go by my calibrated meters, forced air. Is that a good temp?

Good morning all. 5 of the seramas are out. 3 are in the brooder now, and the curl foot is doing doing okay and a malpositioned just came out.

It was. That is something I am looking forward to if I can get a job with more reasonable hours. I miss riding.

It's done, screw-ups & all, but it works.
Question: One of my previous hatches included 3 chicks that were yellow at birth, but later turned white. of the current hatch, one was white at birth. Out of curiosity, what should I expect?

So do I. I haven't been on a horse since I quit trialing about 15 years ago & got rid of my last horses. Doubt I'll ever ride again.
