You're not very good at not-telling.

I'm not very good at a lot of things, depending on who you're talking to.

When you get done with the rain, it's coming here...sometime this afternoon

That'd be yesterday's, you'll get today's tomorrow, and Thursday's on Friday.

Yep.that's the way it normally goes, unless we have sustained airflow out of the East.

It’s been two days, and I’m dying to candle the eggs.

Candle candle candle as someone told me way back in 2016.

Do any of you have a Huskee or a Troy-bilt log splitter? I'm weighing them one against the other; plan to buy one of them.
Interested in the maximum length of wood each will take.

I wish I could help but I just cut my wood set it all the side and then on a 3-day weekend I pay for a one-day rental of a splitter and get er done so I don't have to own one.

Not really surprised; bound to happen sooner or later with a topless enclosure. I went several years w/o it happening.
No sign yet of a return

I decided to take the chance of letting them out some days and their enclosed run because they're so much happier that if I lose over here or there it's a small price to pay the big worries it would be a bunch of them. Interestingly my llama also watches the chickens, not that he can really do much for the ariel predators.

Afternoon everyone. Today is looking up to be an abysmal hatch day. Only one birchen hatched during the night, and I'm not seeing any others even pipped. No CCLs pipped, no OEs, no BCL. Today is day 21. Using four different incubators, one was an auto-turner the rest were by hand. Feeling in the dumps. I've got over 100 eggs with only 15 of our own custom EE's to show for.

catching up so I don't know yet.

That wouldn't be a bad idea if I never needed one away from home, which I normally do. Last time we cut we had two splitters going most of the time
