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

[Pensmaster]

I kinda sorta broke my toe yesterday. Not like 45° angle break like a often do (major break fifteen years ago that would have required surgery to properly fix). No, this was a 90°, off to the side, “I can’t look!! “ break. So the work I wanted to do between rain bursts is on hold.
Meanwhile, anyone know when I said my Muscovy went broody? I have no clue.

A couple days ago you mentioned she might be.
on the toe.

I've been busting pallets up, collecting material for a coop to replace the Chinese prefab I started with...this time. I've gone the pallet route before, with just a hammer & crowbar; that's too much like work. This time I spent the money for a Pallet Buster, from Amazon. Best 30 bucks I've ever spent. I figure it's paid for itself already in time & effort expended.

DH uses a saws-all between the planks & the 2x4's. Then belt sands the nubs. Leaves the nail heads to seal the holes. We get a butt load of pallets Makes fast time of the chore.

I have the saw, but I'm not convinced that sawing the nails would be easier, for me. I don't have a way, short of wrestling a pallet onto the workbench (aka a pair of sawhorses & half a sheet of OSB), to get a pallet so I wouldn't have to be bent over that long or stand it on edge & re-position it a few times each. I've run across some that have the 2x4's doubled up; the pallet buster won't handle those, so the saw would be useful there, but I'd just as soon use those to keep firewood up off the ground.

@mlm Mike
Morning Mike. Did you get your boat in yet? Still working on coop here. Will probably cut back the number of chickens I kept for eggs also.

Do you have problems with algae on the boats? My brother seems to. I think he keeps it out due to that.
Speaking of brother there another fire in his area. They seem to get an unusual amount of fires. There was one near by here last night but the smoke seems to have disappeared. And it’s cooler until Saturday.
