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

[daxigait]

I definitely would! You are so right!
That's what we're getting for temps right now and we're loving it!

Is it a diesel?

Yes, I drive a semi locally for work.

 

[daxigait]

So what type of chickens do you have? Are you incubating right now?
Did your shopping trip go well for your mom?

Yes, I drive a semi locally for work.

Oh...I imagine their like a school bus then. You freeze to death first...and then, eventually they warm up. My last gig, I had to drive close to an hour before I got to the first pickup...at LEAST it was warm for them by then.

I'm glad the busses are going to gas.

Up there even thinking about a diesel makes me shake.

60* @ noon on Jan 23rd....ya gotta love it! Ya also gotta watch where ya put your feet or you fall down go boom!

We had that warm weather briefly, now it's 30*F with snow. At least the mud is stiff.

Popping in to say hi!

I also have a minor confession to make...

I don't know how many chickens I have anymore. I keep losing count. 20 or 24? Maybe 25? 30?

It's ok, I don't know how many chickens I have either.

I guess Ameraucauna/EEs, OEGBs, Barred Rocks, just a pair, Cuckoo Marans rootie, Icelandic rootie, Silkies, BCM infusion type rootie, a few interesting ones I don't know what they are and lots of crosses of the above. I think there are 80 or so hens and about 50-60 rooties. And 24 guineas.

Not hatching. Yet. But all this hatching talk has ignited the bug. I think I should wait for warmer weather though.

We got everything we needed to for my MIL. Pickup tool at the assistance store...$14-$30. Pickup tool at Dollarama...$2.50 I think. I've been using mine for quite a while. I think it'll work out for her fine...and be $20 less.

That's just frustrating. Spring once is bad enough!

Good morning Mike!

It can be done but there's paperwork (Dept of AG) and it has to be NPIP ... Will check to see if I can find the file ....

Legally all state to state transfers have to be NPIP. I've know people that have moved to HI and their dogs had to be quarantined for months. You're allowed to visit them, but I would never put my dogs through that. You can take your dogs to USVI and as long as the shots are up to date you are good to go.

Better that way because then it's not lying to the spouse, right?
