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

[Akrnaf2]

Chasing pigs is only funny in the movies till you have to do it for real. That is part of the reason I quit pigs. I am glad that you got them back.

That is a fact. Gets my blood boiling.

Shepherd dogs can help in this situation?

Shepherd dogs can help in this situation?

To a certain point. Hogs are unlike any other animal. When they decide they don't want to go somewhere, they don't. Very colorful language occurs in these situations.

Evolving - pretty sure it's dry pox, other NN owners have confirmed. She's ok. (And the one with the affected eye is getting a lot better, eye is fine, thank goodness...)





Yeah, that's a good idea. If you buy dry instant yeast in bulk (a brick), it can survive for eons in the freezer if stored properly (I put mine in a mason jar). Get yourself an easy win, then graduate to sourdough.

I totally need some of these...

That's on my list of things to learn to do some day...

OK, so, here's the embarrassing stupid thing - I have quite a few of these 16' x 4' cattle panels (I got a bunch when I bought them since I had to pay for delivery). How in the world does one BEND them (without killing yourself, that is)?

That's kinda neat looking...

I'm totally going to try this for starting seeds. What a cool idea!!!!!

I got four of the apple trees planted!!!! (Didn't finish off the mulch yet - put a little around the trunk, will do it tomorrow). I'm beat - that was harder than expected. Still have two more holes to dig and plant...

Here's one of the holes (hard to tell here, but it's BIG - the reason, supposedly, is to allow the roots to expand a lot as the tree gets established).



And here are the two trees planted there (Anna and Ein Shemer).



Tank and his new girls are getting along a bit better now, hanging together when foraging, though they are still a little wary of each other.



I'm heading back out to ensure the girls go to bed in the coop like they should (and don't try something crazy like roosting on top of the tractor). They are heavy big girls, but they still fly very well...

I'm dealing with Pox right now, too. My poor turkey's came down with it. Other birds have shown more mild signs of it, too. But all are acting normal, besides the pox marks.

Apparently, misquitos are notorious in this area for spreading fowl pox.

The good news is, that it's about a 2 week thing, then your flock should be immune to it.... at least according to the research I did. Infection and secondary infections being the biggest issue when they are getting over it.

Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey ! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
