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

Thanks been needing to get a set myself. Getting enough of the breed I want to keep and breed several pens keeping them separated with identity.
same here. startd this year with a crazy amount of different birds. got me some great layers and learned what i like and what i dont. but now since I know it's the seramas I really love and will be able to handle long run, I will stick to those and probably my swedish flower hens and a couple nice colored layers. they all look so cool in the pics and descriptions but you learn what you love and what works for you really fast!

Ice auger.... It's getting old( I've had it 25 years) still works okay.... I rebuilt the carb a few years ago.... I think I'm gonna get either a new propane one or electric.... The only bad thing about electric is how long till I need to replace the batteries.... With propane is nice not to have to mess with gas or oil. And they are four stroke.... But i have bad shoulders and think electric would be nice cuz no pull starting.....

Those descriptions are really deceiving. So I'll be weeding quite a few and sticking with the Altsteriers. Smaller pretty bird, egg laying is ok NOT what the description says but still fine.

I see. Yes agree on the shoulder part. Neck won't allow me to pull anything.
 
It's raining!!! And really windy. Lost power three days straight about the time I'm resolved to go pull start the generator the power comes back on. thankfully

Supposed to stop on Tuesday


I caught something about storms out your way on the news earlier.... Sorry penns.... This you are in a drought anymore..... But kinda like the saying.... "when it rains it pours"
