I know that they aren't growing oranges any where near here..... So yup I can believe it.

Actually watched a u-tube Video on geothermal greenhouses growing Oranges in Nebraska!
This is the link (I think)

Yes that’s always good. We have to many chickens to notice if one came up missing. But I think we have been lucky so far with the lack of predators. Almost everyone on our street has a free rangeing flock (and a rifle or two, or......)

Used to have too many myself. Sold 60. It’s so much better here now.

We sold 19 roosters last month. Sooo much quieter

Quite is good.

Mixed brush goats, I’m not sure what’s in most of them other than about 50-75% Boer. We have 22 at the moment.

Sounds like you must be doing well with them.
Mine did not do well in my wet yard. The chickens are thriving much better than the goats did.

Hatch help plz: When to worry about a pip...

I had an egg make what I would call an incomplete pip about 14 hours ago. The tiniest bit of shell was raised but there has been no more progress. Very improbable that it got through the membrane. As I understand the hatching process, it wouldn't be pipping unless the air inside the egg was depleted. Would this be a case to intervene? Is it likely already too late?

Last night was the beginning of day 21 and others are hatching so they are right on schedule.
