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

They're telling me I should go back to bed. Bad voices!

Hey it’s 5:00 in the morning go back to bed. Isn’t the front door blocked with snow anyways?

It's been shoveled out, or it would be. Good idea... may I just hibernate until spring?

It's been shoveled out, or it would be. Great idea... can I just hibernate until spring?

That’s what I was thinking.

 

[BantyChooks]

That’s what I was thinking.

Great. See you in a month and a half.

Great. See you in a month and a half.

I have to go wash 5 dozen eggs before work.

Update on the eggs from my two hens my daughter hoped would hatch after they were killed. Neither were fertile or had any development after a few days in the incubator

Oh, that's too bad.

So on the chicken front do I keep my layers or my Heritage Rhode Island Reds? I am on a major Purge I'm getting rid of all my Boers except for a pair that are my pets. I'm going down to one horse and going down to run cow and a steer. I'm done spending so much time working not only doing the chores but aren't in the money to feed them all.

Depends on what you want out of the chickens. If you just want eggs, the layer flock could be the choice.

Well I thank you for the sentiment but I think I'm boring you guys to tears with my goats. Unfortunately, in kidding season I work and do goats.

Not boring at all.

 

[mlm Mike]

Oh boy that just ruin somebody's day not to mention maybe their retirement or vacation. Sitting at a light here seeing somebody's motorhome burn

Wow, that's a shame.
