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

[dan26552]

I'm in trouble here... [COLOR=333333]I knew nothing about this before today. I buy 2, 100lb bags of feed every 2 weeks here. So, now I have my first slip for 10 CX and by my calculations, I'll be there at least 3 more times for feed before april 15th, which means about 40 CX lol[/COLOR]

I am back for a few seconds. I have been counting and marking chicks that leave tomorrow.

I hatched my first batch of EE for the year.

The hybrid vigor really shows itself with them. I hatch so many pure lines and a ton of Legbars, they are healthy and all, but man these Easter Eggers can kick their butts.

purdy chicklets!!

Getting the goats tomorrow morning!!!!!!!!

Hello again Banty! Good to see everyone again - old & new!

I'm so itching to hatch eggs again - so am just re-reading & re-learning.....but I suppose it's like riding a bike, right?

I think you got it spot on!

@daxigait @mlm Mike @Sally Sunshine

Goat question - if I have to make a trip, that will result in me skipping a feeding for the baby goats, can I feed them a little more at breakfast time to compensate for it, and a little bigger dinner?

I don't want to over-feed them and cause any problems, but skipping a mid-day feeding for young goats isn't great, either.

you mean if you make a long journey for a kitten?

Hey all

I'm in trouble here...
