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

[daxigait]

Yes, that system just hit us. Upper 50s yesterday & lots of rain in addition to the snow melt. Then during eve rush hour - instant FREEZE. It's 13'F right now & all the water is ICE.

Like ours. Yuck

i had just finished when i took that picture
i had to get into the quail coop so i could feed them

the snow is over the bottom line of fencing in most places, or at least it was this morning

Makes me glad we only got 6".

I was away for a month and it took less than 2 hours to get caught up! Y'all have been pretty quiet.

Thanks for those who checked in on me during my hiatus.

The holidays were difficult from an emotional perspective, then my daughter and I got the flu for new year's, our new puppy broke his leg, my heat went out on the coldest day of the season so far, and I'm just hoping we got all the negative stuff out of the way early this year!

Hoping to get on the thread a little more often, since things are seeming to slow down a little.

Glad to hear from you!

Here’s the crew. Hard to count it’s so dark and they are dark. Is the lighter one splash?
The two that have different color faces are left corner and front right.

The last one is a late quitter. I’ve candled it’s not looking good. Left it in for awhile but I’m 99% sure it’s done.

and congratulations except for the quitter.

Sorry. Just haven't been too talk-y recently.

@BantyChooks I hope you are doing well. I thought of you this weekend when for the first time I decided to wear my father's coat. It just hangs covered in my cedar closet. I decided to wear it at least once to church. I did decide if I ever wear it again it had better be below zero with me in a tee shirt. It is real hand Indian artwork and fur.

Must be smarter than me, I'm the fool out in the stuff.

I get to drive in it.

I read an article about a guy that had an old navajo blanket. It was from the 1800s tough so not the same. It went for over 4 million

Wow. I wish

How beautiful!

Thanks. Very warm too.

The hood is kind of cool to with the fur that comes all the way over and out from your face and you would be totally covered if you're out in really cold weather.
