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

[ChickenCanoe]

I think our spider brought the trick or treaters. I had moms tell me that their kids have been talking about it all month and they really needed to come here!!! Lol

I'm sure you're right. We used to live in a neighborhood with many awesomely decorated houses when the kids were that age. It was really fun. A lot of them had things like complete graveyards set up in their yards.

23 weeks old & still no pullets laying. Guess they missed the memo

I have 3 that are just over 6 months and a couple more that are a week shy of that with no eggs. It's the time of year. I'm not mad about it cause I'm not quite set up for it yet.

We have had this problem for Yesrs!! Now almost 60% of our water come from Desalination plants! YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE !

The Ogallala Aquifer is diapering! And that will have a tremendous effect on you!

what does Israel use to power the plant?

The majority is powerd ,sadly, with coal, some with natural gas. In a few years ALL of them will be powered with natursl gas, as you know ( I hop!) We found in ouer comercial waters in the Mediterranean A HUGE gas filds, so everything will be Gas powered, I hope that ouer cars too.
