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

[campingshaws]

@campingshaws, I throw my ducklings out at 2 weeks to an unheated coop. As long as they stay dry and out of the wind they can withstand down to freezing easy. Ducks are super tough

Thank you! The tractor was built for chickens and has a loft for shelter, but I really don't want scovies trying to manage that ramp. They're getting a house in March, so I'll just keep rigging them places.

OCD?

You've gotten deep into advanced chicken math, haven't you?!

Love this! Have seen it before, but it seems so much more.... TRUE... than it was before.

How about pigs?

Skipping that course, but yes, it's close to goats.

But they are so cute!

Gotta run Kristin, keep an eye on that bator or eggs might jump in.... <>

THAT'S how 49eggs got into mine! Phew! I was starting to worry I had went crazy and wanted to keep a bunch of chicks in my house during the coldest two months of the year!!!

You gotta watch her EVERY MINUTE!!! I swear!

Speaking of which, I miss Yokel. Anyone heard from him?

He's been tagged from this thread several times that I know of...no response I'm aware of.

I checked his profile - he hasn't been on BYC since September. But I was off of BYC for several months earlier, just because I had gotten too busy to keep up. Hoping it's just that - I know he was a pretty busy guy...

[COLOR=0000CD]GOOD MORNING, MY LOVELIES! I HOPE EVERYONE HAS HAD A PLEASANT NIGHT, AND A GOOD START TO THE DAY![/COLOR]

Thank you, ma'am!

I've got an egg chirping this morning!!!

no pip, but heard a sweet little chirp.

Yay!!!! Isn't it amazing?!

Wonderful! e

Hard not to when you have a friend that raises dozens of kids a year for resale...

OMG, how have you not gotten them before now?!

Don't be embarrassed! We are all here to support you!

It wasn't me!! I've been at Kristin's since.... Oops. Busted.

[COLOR=0000FF]I KNEW IT!!!!!!!! [/COLOR]

And I have an external pip from another egg! Must be the one making all the racket!

I just saw this interview with some lunatic! https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1145141/byc-member-interview-akrnaf2#post_17846248

Somehow, though, when I think of you, I will always see The Godfather... Awwwwww.... So sweet! - Ant Farm

It's not personal, only business

Miss Sally, Miss Sally!!!!!

@Sally Sunshine

Can you remind me - you run your 'bator a bit hot, right? Like, 100.5F?

Meanwhile, Puppy got out this morning - AGAIN. I couldn't find an outdoor nest (though I bet there's one somewhere) - I wish I could, I'd set all those eggs right now. I worry that she'll do this when I'm out of town, it's hard enough for me to catch her, the chicken sitter will have a bear of a time.

- Ant Farm

I run mine CALIBRATED at 100.5 ALWAYS but I have no flux

oh no!! you need a puppy to help find her!!!

 

[Sally Sunshine]

Well, at least you guys kept me from losing hope. Thank you! Now someone please convince me to leave the house and go grocery shopping instead of sitting here watching the eggs

Never!!
