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

[mlm Mike]

After this week I will be down to just two bottle kids! Well, unless I pull the two boys left of the quad. I sold one :yesss so if I pull the boys my doe will only have the doeling. Maybe she could gain some weight back.
Next year the boys will go early.

My broodies are not doing well. One hatched nine of 13, but the other five are taking up the boxes, going back wrong, and breaking eggs. I may have to buy chicks I don't want to give them each a couple just to get them off the nests. I need them off so I can get some HRIR eggs that I do want to hatch. :/

I have two kids leaving Sunday.

Down 23 more this weekend. 6 roosters left. Whoops make that 7. Still much quieter.

Not counting Surama, I'm down to two LF roosters. Much quieter here.

I’ll be getting mine down to two as well soon. 4 of them are young and too loud for their size. And they can’t tell time.
We had a good lightning storm yesterday with a burst of rain. 3/8 inch in short time.

Good news on the rain. We are rain free today, then a few days of rain.

I just read several articles about the life, legend, and legacy of the Ramapo Indians of northern NJ, who've been there for a few hundred years & continue to be there today. Very interesting.

I finally ordered internet. The customer service guy I was texting with at Verizon was ... he needed a lesson in manners, punctuation, grammar and his job in general. I was transferred to someone else, got the answer to my question, and an apology for the booger head.
This time next week, I’ll be a part of the Netflix/Hulu etc. crowd. Wish me luck getting used to actually using apps on my television.

Sold 15 more chickens. Either picked up tomorrow or next Friday. Getting numbers down this way is fairly easy
My incubator has been fixed and is being shipped back from manufacturer.

I think we have all that. I still don’t know how to use it. Don’t really watch that much tv to learn.

When I was rearranging the living room, I didn’t even have the furniture facing the television. I am actually thinking of just covering it with a blanket to protect it from flying toys as well as dust. I think we will be using our tablets when we want to veg out. Mostly before nap time when I’m trying to get her to wind down.
I watch television to drown out the voices in my head. I can honestly take it or leave it when I’m not stressed.
