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

[Pensmaster]

Ugh - sorry to hear. Weather hasn't gone too psycho here yet, but it's coming. I'm going to try to take some days off work to catch up on setting up the watering system as well as the mister system. Misters worked very well for me last year, but I have more pens/coops this year, and am going to try to DIY it putting those little brass mist nozzles into PVC. We'll see how it goes.

(Your FIL was brilliant!)

Still eating a BIG breakfast of eggs (I woke up HUNGRY!). Worried I'm going to be so full after that I'll want a nap, though...

- Ant Farm

Which reminds me the drip system to the flowers needs work.
The waterers for my hens are set to drip all day during the summer. This helps to cool them during the heat.
Guess I'll get breakfast going and get to it

@heatherfeather7 Do you have a number that you can call to check on Abi?

Preparation is going alright. I'm down to just a few more items that I need. As far as conditioning I have been carrying my pack a couple of days a week for walks I wish I had more time but I also have to condition my backside for the Six-Day horse backpack trip and it's all in August.

That sounds awesome but at the same time brutal. Good planning on carrying the pack.

So have you incubated or had enough broodies to try to recover some of your losses from this spring? How are you?

I have both broodies Altsteriers and incubators going. I was going to give the eBay eggs to the other broodies but I've been trying to get that bunch to stop for some time now and didn't want them to stop in the middle of the purchased eggs.

I knew she was going to check, but didn't catch if she had talked to her. I must have missed that skimming.
