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

If you do, we NEED video.

Here's what my daughter wants to do with them to start off with. They have more advanced courses once they get the gist down and don't have to be "guided" through a course like she's doing with that one.

Edited : this is not my daughter, but videos she watched to get ideas.

Hey folks! I'm kinda sorta back. I've been trying to take some time to get better. I was basically told that I have an unidentified virus that caused an Upper Respiratory Infection and a Sinus Infection within 2 days of contracting it. The fevers finally stopped 3 days ago and I'm getting better, but I'm still coughing hard enough to make my chest and arms hurt. It's sucked, but I'm finally getting over it.

In other news, I lost my Polish chick. It's like everytime my SIL gets attached to one of my birds, it dies. I'm not entirely sure what happened, but I suspect it just failed to thrive. Or I just really suck at raising Polish like I suck at raising Silkies. This is the second Polish I've had that didn't survive to adulthood. The first one (a little splash hen named Ugly Chicken) was pecked to death by an EE boy when they were young and I wasn't home.

I still can't ID most of the chicks. I do think I have some Marans, but I'm really hoping that's what some of the barred chicks are. I don't need more BRs I can't even give away. The chicks are about to be shuffled around. I'm fixing up the unused pen for the grow outs to live in until they're old enough to free range with the 'flock'.

FYI, I'm hearing a lot of adults diagnosed with RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) in the last 8 mos. Years ago, it was thought of as really only affecting young children.

Hi Peter!!

@BantyChooks did you see my tag on the lady asking the question on the Silkie chick? Did I answer okay?

OH MY, I can totally picture the clicker training. My daughter will be all over that! Wish I could have videotaped her putting the rude roosters in timeout .

Yes, I thought you answered great.

She only thinks people are insane that she likes. She couldn't be friends with a sane person.

Edited : duck haters don't count. They hate ducks.

True!



Hear, hear!

Ralphie is crazy, not insane... There's a difference.


EEEEEEEEEEEEEE.



Bingo.
