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

Good grief, is this because of all the rain? We really got pounded on this year with the rain too. I don't buy hay though, so haven't noticed.
the problem here this year is the rain. we have had massive amounts of it from the second week of May until the first week of July we never went more than a day or day and a half without rain and at one point it rained everyday for like 14 of 15 days. we got almost 15 in in May which is way over I didn't hear what we got in June but it was it wasn't just that it was raining it was raining massive this problem is compounding because not only can we not get the hay harvested but the Farmers can't get the crops in what they did get in which riding in the field added to that last year we had a massive drought so there is a severe shortage here in the Midwest. the Lord finally blessed us with a few nice days to get the first cutting in, but most of it will be really low in protein because of the massive amount of rain that which could be saved Alfalfa most of it was lost.
 
Good morning Whites. Was going to mention I really messed up the box scraper on my tractor to you a few days ago. Tried to remove a tree root bent the stabilizer bar into a 90 degree worthless piece of metal. Back together now. Lesson learned.
ouch. I hope it's usable it didn't cost you too much to fix.

I was blessed that this limb that came down Friday and one of our storms didn't do more than put a little crack in the concrete of the porch. it's 18 in around the base and over 25' long. it was not fun cutting it up in the 90 degree temperatures this weekend but it is done and stacked.

we are now getting another problem in our area because of this crazy desire to reintroduce big predators close to where lots of people live. just a couple of miles from me somebody lost an LGD to either a mountain lion or a black bear. given the fact that the night for a black bear have been seen about three miles from there I'm going to bet on that one for the moment. I didn't see the injuries and I know there's a big cat in the area now too. Just not a good deal with this many small farms.
