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

[mlm Mike]

That's a real shame, and a crime. Unfortunately, this country's in a downward power spiral that it won't be able to pull out of if things don't do a 180, and fast. Hope I'm not here long enough to see it hit the bottom.

Yep, I try to buy things made in the USA, seems almost impossible lots of time.

Sad I was thinking the same for me.

Move to Canada; might take a tad longer for the crash to hit.

Morning, people. 3 chicks so far, 4 pips left.

I would but the wife’s not liking the cold.

Congratulations, good luck with the rest!

Doesn't it start looking like that about 10 minutes after you give them fresh?

Pretty much.
There was some ice, but a kick to the side of the pool broke it. They could have broken it by getting in, but that might have hurt.

Finally. This is the planter I came across @ TSC last week. So cute I couldn't resist. There's a little Bluebird on a branch above the hen, but it must be camera shy. It lights up; solar panel on the base.

Hey, Kid
Good to know you survived the weekend in one piece. May take y'all a tad longer if you buy a lot of imported products, but you won't be far behind us. Unfortunately, products that we consider indispensable, like automobiles, are all made overseas anymore.

What do you do about loner ducks? Aretha Franklin was the only female “Pekin” from TSC the first year they sold Muscovies as Pekin. So that would make her two. She had a boyfriend (he’s not the one I ate ) but I only wanted one drake, and that was my Pekin JoJo. Janice Joplin (aka Banty) was born a few months later, and is fine with her parents. Aretha is occasionally mated, and I’ve never seen anyone chase her off.
She seems so lonely, and it’s breaking my heart. Any suggestions on the why and what to do?
Edited to add that the other female born that year isn’t a loner.

Barely. I need about 10 hrs more sleep to be functional.
Too true.

Haven't dealt with that, sorry. I do have one kind-of loner duck, but she seems happy—just distracted. She's the one that would get lost as a duckling because she'd become absorbed in catching flies and forget where the flock was.
