Just set the quail..... This'll be my first staggered hatch. Hope it works

How many incubators do you have? How do you do your staggered hatches?

I promise to never stagger again.

I promise to never stagger again.

Why? I know people all say this dislike it, I have never had a problem with it, so I am thinking I might not understand what it is.

Morning Abi. Just got up so no coops made yet. Coffee though

If I had two incubators it would probably work.

Ok, I have always hatched in a separate incubator even before I got a hatcher.. So it is what I think it is...

I forgot to tell Duckling that shoveling snow isn't fun.

baby girlzzzzzzz SNOW!! it didnt even lay here!!

That turkey hunter was so good I forgot why I came here.

I set 119 eggs ( or will in 2 minutes) I cleaned and disinfected them.

I have

43 Legbars I hope to get 15 whites from these but that is overly optimistic.
11 Dominques
19 Polish
2 SS
4 turkey eggs
7 PC
8-cuckoo Maran
11 toads
14 Yokohamas

I also sold 3 dozen this morning and I have 3 more dozen to go, so I had a good week for eggs, However the Marans, SS and PC need to pick the pace up a tad.

And of course the darn Spitzhaubens that have not given me an egg yet..



Edited to add, I am done setting Toad eggs for a few months now.. And my toad eggs have smiley faces on them! @meltel Thanks!!

Good Luck Ralphie!!

So far collected

Popping and electrical sparks are a sure sign for something bad, IMHO I would have shut all the power off.
We had a gfi outlet kept tripping, toaster and refrigerator plus who knows what else on the rest of the line. I figured maybe box was bad. Bought a new one to switch them. When I went to trip the breaker for the swap, wire to that breaker was melted...could have very well burned our house down if it kept up. It was just loose.
Power went out to half our house the other day. DW called me at work. She found the breaker and power came back on but she shut it back off just in case something wrong. After moving the TV to tbe dining room she found out one of the little one's tried screwing a flashlight into a socket. 'When did this happen?' When the lights went out...

Ouch. Lucky the breakers worked as needed.

Good morning Mel did you get the light bulbs? Are they working well? Thinking of buying a box.

Hey Penn. Yes got the lightbulbs. They are very bright (I got daylight white). Haven't switched them all over yet-waiting for Bill to have a day off since I am not allowed on a ladder

. Without the pool or air running last month our electric bill was a record high of $566

. And a lot of our stuff is propane! Hopefully next month we will see the difference..

@duluthralphie have you seen the meat crosses 'lpatelski' has with CX and DC? Amazing growth rate and self sustaining. I'm going to be trying CX NN cross.
What breed(s) did you use in your 'toads' ?
