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

Quote: 'Member the rat I told you about that I got a trailcam picture of in the run scarfing up the chickens' feed? Ether didn't help. Neither has rat poison underground where the birds can't get at it, so I trained him to dig up worms for me. Had a devil of a time finding a hot collar to fit him, though.
 
I did, too, 'til someone on here said about layer being bad for roosters over time; shortening their life, if I recall. I've never fed Purina anything, to any of my animals, except maybe once or twice. When I was a Nutrena dealer, I naturally fed Nutrena. Other than that, it's been all Southern States. I feed their answer to Purina's All Flock, but I'd have to dig up a receipt to tell you how much it runs.

I see where another pullet has finally decided to join the egg-laying party today. 'Bout time; they're 7/2 hatches. They free-range almost daily though, so some of them may be laying God-knows-where. They have access to way more ground than I'm going to scour looking for eggs. I've kept them in the run & coop several times, though, and just now's the 1st time I've seen two of their eggs.
Congratulations. I wish my 3/26 and April HRIR would start, but they take 8-9 months anyway. Next month I will have to add light so I can set eggs if they don't hurry up.
