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

[kwhites634]

If you mean CANADA ...Oh yeah, I caught that...it's too bright....too sunny and it's going to be WAY too hot.

Right now it's lovely except for that darn sun. Where's my dark, cold days???

How are you this morning fine sir?

I'm in pretty good shape, for the shape I'm in. Round is a shape, after all.

 

[kwhites634]

Well, Banti is most definitely not a god... she isn't even an angel.

Sure she is. She told me so

I think that's much better than be flat and in the ground.

Sure she is. She told me so

She's sneaky that way.

Looks like it's going to rain for most of the day. I need to get that pen finished for the grow outs. I also need to kick out the chicks in the house. It's no fun to find one of my CCL boys wandering around the house. They both do it and set the dogs off. The shipped chicks aren't as well feathered and they've taught them how to get out. I'm glad my brooder is a box on the floor or I'd have some hurt chicks.

Speaking of, what are the chances of lacing expressing itself as barring in a chick? I'm still thinking it's an Andalusian, but it should be laced and not barred. It's showing as blue and white barring. I haven't taken any new pics of them, but I can try to get one later when I (hopefully) move them.

 

[BantyChooks]

Is there another name you want to call me? (Derogatory...probably)

What are your temps?

Yes? Hey back at you! View attachment 1031923 (Darn halo!)

Well, I'd get detention if I said it, so Wicked is fine

Oh, not too cool.... I didn't have to pull more than a jacket out this morning.

Sure she is. She told me so

I like you.

Morning!!!
Can stiff wire be put over the brooder? That 1x2 stuff? Just thinking out loud here. I've got my Barred Rock pullet who has to go into a kennel come H or high water today. She's been jumping out since last week and I don't want her jumping into the new hatchlings.

Lacing and barring....I'm not sure. I wouldn't think so. But hey, I'm still learning colors and breeds.

Lucifer is an angel too.........

Morning. Is there a name you want us to call you other than Wicked?


Hot in your corner of Canada, maybe.


HEY!!

HA!!!

I would do that, but it's also getting crowded. The CCL are a week older than the other 15, so it's about time they went out. It's not getting cold enough at night for me to worry about kicking them out too soon. More like not soon enough!

I like you.

Wicked's probably one of the nicer names I've been called.

Supposed to get to 30 or so today. (That's 86 Fahrenheit) for those of the Fahrenheit persuasion.
