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

[LittleLakePhil]

I keep the curtains open all night on the window beside my bed so the light wakes me up. Closing them is my "snooze button", LOL.

not me i have those room darkening curtains.

I find that being slowly awakened by sunlight is a lot better than the harsh, scratchy blare of a 30 year old alarm clock.

lmao shame on ewe!

you were on my mind as i typed it out
lol

bathe a child before dinner? she musta been playing with the chickens!

yes, everyday
she falls asleep on the couch after she eats, did you happen to notice the time? we eat very late

She actually think she is getting that gorgeous egg!

gorgeous egg!!

she tried! stinker dog!

you basically handed it to her

I broke of shell in a circle without taking membrane and she quickly pushed out. It's an Ancona and is doing fine!

awesome! congrats!!

I don't often plan that far ahead to go fishing. Usually, I go whenever the mood strikes me. Besides, the last time I set a minnow trap I caught a water snake!

LOL, that would be a surprise

I need some advice as soon as possible. I have some 6 weeks old Magpies. I can now tell that I have 1 girl and two boys. I CANNOT keep the boys, but I do not want the girl to be alone. I have some ducklings that I hatched yesterday mostly, but I don't think she will accept them, and she might hurt them. Anyone mixed ducklings varying in age that much? I say I need to know ASAP because I am bringing the new ducklings to a swap tomorrow. I don't think I could do that, but It can't hurt to ask if anyone has done it. What do you think I should do?

i dont see the issue, just keep an eye on her

Another reason I don't use live bait. When I did use minnows, I'd often take leftovers home & keep them in a spare aquarium for next time.

i feed them to my ducks/chickens

Well, I should have known from the way I could barely stay awake when I was at work for my meeting. My body rebelled - when I got home, I fell asleep for 3-1/2 hours. Then collected eggs and changed out chick water. And THAT'S IT - no building or lumber tonight. I just can't stand the thought - still tired. I think I'm going to read and go to bed early, and start over tomorrow.

i'm glad you didnt work on it last night, your body needs a break sometimes

Just wanted to pop in and say thank you all! My little turkey chick is doing very well, as are the other two that hatched. Also, got my new incubator today so I won't have any more temperature fluctuations from now on.

Turkey chick is sleeping on the stuffed sloth, to the right.

awesome!!! congratulations!!
