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

[Beer can]

I am very interested in the Native American, I prefer to call them Indians, history since I was a boy, all the beautiful books of Fenimore Cooper karl may, Jack London, all the comix of Tex willer, al the westerns I LOVE IT! I see alot of films at You tube about old technology and cooking ect.

I think most of us typically call them indians. The western tribes interested me the most. And the Florida Seminoles, read a good book yrs ago about the group that refused to be relocated and hid in the Everglade swamps.
Was just skimming through Wyondot and Iroquois history. Loooks like the Iroquois Haudenosaunee chased off the Wyondot with newly acquired rifles over the fur trade, eliminate competition I guess.
My ancestors came to the new world from Holland to New Amsterdam in 1644, moved to the Catskill Mountains shortly after and supplied tree bark for tanning hides to the settlers in New Amsterdam and lived among the Natives. Read a story the men and boys lived in a cave while the women and young children lived in a cabin at the time.

It was sealed!!

I highly recommend a large Mediterranean or similar rooster as a flock protector. I've never lost a bird to all the hawks we have as long as I had good mature roosters running with them. I turn out about 40 birds every morning and they are all still here at night. The threat of hawks is no longer on my radar.

I love the story of the Seminoles too. They were never everglade dwellers before being forced from their native territory.

no because I still don't see how I would do the spot check and you thato better then the one I showed

What confuses you about using the spot check? You turn it on, stick the probe into the vent hole and read the temperature. What don't you understand?

And what does "and you thato better" mean?

I'd love to get one. They are not common here, but I could probably at least find leghorns...... Not sure if I can find anything but pullets tho. Feed stores are just chock full of sex links, Easter eggers, and fancy bantams.
