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

[daxigait]

Lucky me! Woke up to a partially flooded basement. Something about the utility sink. Area rug soaked. Sink ran over for some reason; didn't leave the valve open.

Coffee's done; time to go see what's going on.

Oh joy. I hope it is an easy fix.

Good morning everyone! Four hours of driving before eight. Time for a break.

@MotorcycleChick This one is for you with a smile.

Introduced a pullet into the "big house" with the grownups yesterday evening. Tucker "introduced" himself right away, and she followed him around like she was tethered to him...musta liked it. Everyone else had packed it in for the night, but she wouldn't venture up the ramp; never used one before. Tuck had been hanging back waiting on her, but finally went in without her. It was almost dark, & she let me pick her up & put her the coop with all the rest, not knowing what I'd find in the morning.
Opened up this morning to find everyone just fine; no blood, no bodies, no sign that there'd been any disagreements at all.
I guess the almost dark introduction made the difference. I'll remember that the next time.

I thought you might like this.
Everyone could think cocks with this too.

I am glad it went well, that is why I like broodies. No integrating.
Did you get the water taken care of?

Partially. At least I can walk across the floor w/o my socks getting wet. Fired up the stove to dry up the rest of it. Still haven't figured out where the water came from; faucet not on.

That doesn't sound good. I hope it is not a pipe in a wall or the water heater.

@BantyChooks @mlm Mike do you remember who used an LG?

No I don't, sorry.

Definitely not the water heater; 20' separating it from any standing water.
Only pipe going thru the wall is in no way connected to the sink, which obviously overflowed.
