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

Pluck them first and you'll have ready to eat chick nuggets.

A friend in NJ likes to go into restaurants, and ask for Toasted Parakeet. You use a bread tie to tie it into the toaster slot. Put bread in the other side. Within a few minutes you have the makings for a sandwich! The feathers should char right off.

Probably singes the hairs off too! Genius. Now if only it took the beak and feet off.

McDonald’s is removing cheeseburgers and chocolate milk from Happy Meals. Chocolate milk is expected to be removed from the menu altogether. I think we’ve gone too far with the health craze. Stop feeding your kid fast food all the time. That is the only real answer.

Don’t breathe. They just went to sleep.

A colicky baby doesn’t bug me this much!

Don’t breathe. They just went to sleep.

I'm hyperventilating.

They woke, but are asleep again.
On Tuesday, it will be in the low seventies. Wednesday too. The overnight low Tuesday will be low fifties. I have a small prefabricated coop for them to spend time in. Should I bring them in overnight? I’m sure they will be fine temperature wise, but it’s just so wet out there! I don't know that it’s a good idea to have them damp and cool.

I feel like an idiot talking about all this, but it’s a chicken thread, and it’s quiet here. So...

I had wet chicks outside once when it was below freezing. They were fine. Admittedly, they did have access to a heating pad.

I'm considering asking for an incubation crash course just to keep the newbie-helping skills up on the thread residents.
