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

I just looked it up. Thanks for that.


California?

Sounds like a good idea to me.

A rich buddy of mine that lives in Santa Barbara was at a community get together at a neighbor's house.
He was astounded at the vast green lawns on this monstrous estate. He figures that the guy pays around $10,000 a month in water usage penalties. People with that much money use up all the water and don't care what it costs.

All the while large percentages of farmland are unused because there is no water for irrigation.

Both had their points of interest thanks for the ALBC video. I actually got a copy of Walters book. Easier to read. Been trying to follow that method for the past year. Slow process

There are several people that don't follow the water conservation process. In Roseville the city pays 4 water monitors to police the usage.

I know some can't comment, but I need help deciding which of these two to enter in the fowl celebrity contest as my last entry. Help!
Lady or Willy and the electric socket?

You have any idea how much oxygen is put into the air by plants, or how much poisonous carbon monoxide is absorbed by those same plants?
Wouldn't it make more sense to limit water usage than to charge usage fees to fat cats who don't give a whit what anything costs? If they can't maintain their lush green acres of lawn on their allotment of water, they can plant drought-tolerant grasses or keep what they have & watch it turn brown.

three look like two boys and a girl   I must admit I am loving that swedish chick, she is so mellow and pretty!!  coloring reminds me of polish the tolbunt chick coloring!  so lovely!!

I like the one OE with the biggest beard too, sweet chick even though I dont spoil them she runs to me.  Not sure if thats smart or dumb at this house! I should have given those two to a broody serama I didnt even think about it until too late! ughhh

my Swedish are all super friendly. I am glad it was fertile. Poor ole boy in that pen is not well liked by his older ladies but his younger ladies love him. The older ones avoid him and produce infertile eggs on me. :/ keeping 2 more cockerels this year and hoping for them to be able to get the job done. All I got was uncrested chicks this year from them.

Darn on 2 isabel boys. Hoping you'd end up with all pullets there. Next year I'm hoping to have an isabel only pen. See how that goes.

My easter and olive eggers are the friendliest birds. Most of them were my own home creation Easter eggers using ameraucana and a couple other breeds plus a few hatchery Easter eggers but they turns out awesome.

I'm now working on sex linked chocolate colored Easter eggers. Also chocolate paint Easter eggers(although these all appear to be bantam size to start).

If I remember correctly sate or federal offices were watering their lawns, probably both.

Fine, as long as they don't exceed their allotment, based on population, not acreage

I've seen it both ways. When visiting my SIL on base the place was all brown.
