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

[mlm Mike]

Weed whacker will sure do it. I had a couple of places I mowed where the weed whacking took longer than the mowing. After half a day holding onto a vibrating weed whacker, I couldn't hold eating utensils or a glass w/o shaking like a leaf in a wind storm.

That's probably it, not certain why it's never happened before. I was having trouble holding things last night, seems to be getting a little better.

I was back to normal by next morning, or as close to normal as I ever was.

Good, maybe It'll be back to normal by tomorrow. I hope it doesn't do this everytime I weed whack though.

Off to lunch, then someone is coming to pick up a couple of goat kids.

If it doesn't mess with your routine too badly, try doing half the weed whacking one day & the other half the next day, and see if your hands still go numb.

I still have 9 left that don't know the difference between a goat barn and a chicken coop. But no extra roosters, much quieter, and the hens don't seem to venture as far, haven't seen them going up the hillside or into the garden.

Maybe for a day or so they learned a lesson.
3 chicks this morning 2 white Cornish and one Dark Cornish 2 more White Cornish have pipped.

Where have you been? Did you finish the walruse meat storage for winter?

Oh, just busy/distracted. I have somewhere around 45 birds, 10 eggs in the incubator, another bunch going in in a week, and two goats arriving sometime in the next two weeks.

I just collected 28 duck eggs. I might need to collect more often.
There are only three hens. It’s been raining so much, the eggs were wet. I don’t like wet duck eggs.

Dry duck eggs are better???
2 more chicks hatched. Last 2 probably won’t.

 

[BullChick]

Yes. They are like chicken eggs when dry.
Are you trying to take over for @duluthralphie ?
