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

[BantyChooks]

When I gave Chrissy a bath this morning, I had my tuque on cos it was cold in the house. She would not calm down.... When I was talking, she was okay, but she clearly did not like the thing on my head & kept trying to move away until I gave in and took it off. When I did, she immediately relaxed. Silly duck. Still moi!

Sorta sweet that she recognises me visually though... Never had a chicken that seemed to care about strangers vs me unless they used odd body language.

You did the right thing but It may not be worth quitting your job over unless you have a better offer. Suspect if you had been one of the "guys" it would not have been an issue. What is good will prevail in the end.

I won't just walk off and quit. I have more sense than that, but I will look around.

Quote: I don't know if UNFI has a terminal near you, but you might wanna check 'em out if they do. Son works for them in WI. Strictly reefer, I believe, 53'ers, to places like Whole Foods & some Mom & Pops. 5 days/week, home every night. Son left Tax Air (as did a gang of drivers) after 14-15 years 'cause they weren't doing what they'd said they'd do. He hasn't been sorry.

She would not calm down.... When I was talking, she was okay, but she clearly did not like the thing on my head & kept trying to move away until I gave in and stopped trying to tongue her. When I did, she immediately relaxed. Silly duck. A good tonguing cleans her like no bath along can.

Just sick, is all I can say!

I will tell you in three months when I mow, if it is an early summer....
