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

You are so blessed to be able to still ride. I also miss it, so so much. I just get to have my great memories of riding back in the day. I've always loved horses and riding.

Why did you stop riding?

 

[BullChick]

It's rude and stupid to stand up for myself. I don't usually care if I get hurt defending others.

 

[daxigait]

@MotorcycleChick That is a great name for your dog

Imagine that from teenagers.
Have you improved/ not had more trouble? Are you resting?

We needed you the other day with the purple hair thing.

Just remind them next time you say no to something they want from you that requires any time, effort, or sacrifice.

You're good with the whole action choices consequences thing.

I rested yesterday a lot - and slept in this morning - something's been picking off our chickens 1 at a time - something our great pyr can't get ahold of - they usually do it at dusk, but today killed one, right by our front gate. A full sized chicken - one of our big ones. I don't think the dogs did it - the dogs were on the back of the yard and when I heard the scuffle, the dogs came running up barking at whatever it was and chased it off.

They aren't eating them - hubby thinks it might be roosters attacking things, or a turkey killing another chicken... but i'm watching the birds and they all co-exist peacefully, so if they are killing each other, I haven't seen signs of it, either.

See? That sounds simple! Yes to the brush swept.

Sheep are easier than that?

Yes.

She's a meddler; can't stand not getting "under the hood".

She's so silly!

Plan B is under way. Have talked with our far neighbors (whom will be effected) and he said he would lend a hand but not until Sunday. We will control drop it then. Cut it up and ad it too the road side mess except good stuff for next years firewood.
Big sucker. For some reason all 3 picks didn't stay together in that post.

Sorry for the repeat but I felt like I was robbed on the original posting.
Fencing and posts are clear. Neighbors aware.
​

You were pregnant?? Using "plan B??"

Yes. Hug the egg. You know you want to.

Then I feel guilty. There isn't anything to 'do' with it like there was the LG.


Well, it's on top of pressure treated trusses, plywood, and concrete blocks, so no ground within about 1/2m of it.

Gonna need a ramp for the ducks...



Yup.

If there's excessive moisture then I had probably best stop emptying the duck water onto the floor.

Still crazy. Check!

run a bead of caulk.

Don't just run a bead of calk. Just squeeze the whole tube out, YES, right out on the floor...use a trowel and trowel it across the entire floor. Tada....water proof!

I have had some rough hatches. Hang in there. Keep them warm. Let them dry. Step back and take a deep breath. You can dip the back flipper's beak in vitamins/electro but don't leave it in with it. in case of a flip in the liquid. Splayed leg can be corrected most of the time.

I try not to use sticky band aids because the stress they cause un sticking them. look at my perfered method if you have a chance. The link is above.
Sounds like you had a humidity issue. Again.. hang in there.. stay cool.

I agree...use the vet wrap stuff. I use the wrap for horses. I've also purchased the wrap for humans at the drugstore when someone hid my other vetwrap, er...when I misplaced it.

If you cut your foot and stitch it up, you can't flex your foot into your leather shoe for awhile.

Alrighty then...no more brain bleach for you. Cut off time!

Chrome =Google = they ARE controlling everything!

They are...just submit to the control. My aluminum hat doesn't work anymore

They know where you are, go,buy, look at, search, want, desire. Last week I was talking to hubby at the store about a subject to ask google. .When I turned it on, it was already there. If say Google, your phone microphone turns on.. creepy invasion of privacy.

Embrace your inner zombie.

Exactly, I don't have smartphone and I don't have Internet in my phone, but if I search somthing in my tablet or even TALK near it I find "suitable " advertising in it in a short time.
My concern is that they will put their servers in space, or on the moon and when they do it they will be REALY out of controling. Your federal government could declare that they are a Monopoly and divide them to Competing units, I am still waiting.

Me too!

@mlm Mike @Wickedchicken6 @Farmer Connie
I would love your opinions. Our local once a month goat sale split in August. It is said that one of them took three big buyers, but that is rumor right now. This month the two guys are each running a sale on Thursday. Would you take a your last three bucklings to one of the sales or feed them another month which in the small pen requires hay and grain every day?

I am formulating an answer separately...

That's terrifying.

Those near-magical "Ask Google" things don't have me resting easy either. Never used one but the idea seems creepy.

Embrace the insanity. Hug an egg.

I'm sure you did. Can't work all the time, eh? Looks peaceful.

I agree!

@kajira So how did your daughter's efforts at gardening turn out?
Have you heard from Kristen?

She doens't really garden - her dad and her tried summer before this one to have a garden but bugs wiped it out, something ate all her gigantic pumpkin leaves. I tried growing stuff in our window sill and I water it most days and I'm just over it. It's frustrating to try to remember to water it the just right amount, especially when my husband won't ever take these tomatoe/squash plants outside and get them out of my bathroom. They are like 3 feet tall now and the cats pick the leaves off and chew on these plants. It's been awful trying to keep the cats away from them.

I talk to Kristin frequently. I've just been busy the last couple weeks with other stuff. She plans on being there for the birth of the baby, assuming he comes when she's not teaching LOL
