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

[daxigait]

Thanks. How are you and your weather doing today?

 

[duluthralphie]

Just for that, I am going to set dux eggs today....

Okay, maybe they're infertile and I just want something to turn and fuss over. But you don't need to know that.

Try the "manure Incubation" technique to avoid the temptation to fuss with them on hatching day..

Thanks, should be a few more any day now.

Here's to doelings and safe deliveries.

This is another sign you need help, you could be relapsing!  Call me, consultation is way cheaper than duck ownership.

Ralphie, it costs me about $6.00 a week to feed my ducks, if you consultation is $50 an hour I think ducks are cheaper.

Good Morning all.

Thanks for the coffee, beautiful Abi! I hope you feel better soon! You could lay down and let Duckling be your nurse.

Just make sure she doesn't give you used tissues.

All this duck hate... and we are over here loving our new ducks! They are used to me now and no longer take off in the other direction. They just associate me with food, but I'm okay with that!

I attempted to list my rooster on the bulletin board yesterday and quickly had my hand slapped due to the bird ban in effect here right now. Guess I am stuck with him a while longer.

@daxigait Prayers for your work situation. I know how that is and feel for you. Make sure you state the facts, in writing if you can.

 

[BullChick]

Can I get back to you on that?

Please do! After all is said and done, we can't have you going bye byes!

Good morning everyone!

I am going to need this one today because it is an emotional time for me and I am still

I like good things!!! Great to hear Kathy!!

Hi guys, I have been feeling livid and betrayed in a way this evening. I would like you opinions as I figure out what I am going to do, and pray that I can be professional in my approach.
Apparently my employer decided to raise the top of the pay scale (not much, but a bit). Anyway I have the most seniority and have been at the top of the scale for years. They have started giving raises. The problem is they are waiting for anniversary dates to give the raise. Because my date fell just before they finalized this I am expected to work for ten month for less than people I have been there longer than, and whom I can prove I do more work than. While I can understand this for the new people, I can't understand this for me as I have had four years now where my date has passed without a raise. It works great for the guy who has been there a year less than me with a January date, and a guy less than a year behind me who was early this month. I just can't believe after years of working massive numbers of hours and taking the extra days they needed covered along with making suggestions that are now generating more loads a day for the company that I am expected to earn less for months. I am just praying because I don't want to go in there as upset as I am.
Is it just me or is this not right?

I dont think it is right, have you written a complaint and expressed your thoughts?

I don't think they go for much.

And the auction around here sucks.

I know a few people that have been ripped off.

cute little flock too!

Poor Jazzy looks like she's going bald. I blame the EE, Brick. He's pretty rough on her, but she at least kicks his butt afterwards.

stinker boys, always picking on a few hens!

Quote: of course let me know when she gets them please

She zipped about an hour after I took that picture. She's alive and well...

CONGRATS!!! great newS!!!!

@Auroradream26 @BantyChooks Thanks, after being there ten and a half years working 60+ hours a week for the last six or seven years I really am upset by this. Especially, since it is more the principle of it than the measly thirty five cents an hour.
