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

[campingshaws]

Why are duck and goose eggs always so dirty? I guess because they are waterfowl.
I finished incubating a taken down nest of Canada Goose eggs in my homemade cabinet. What a mess. Between the dirty eggs and all the down clogging my fans, I regretted it.

We had nonstop rain when those were gathered. I gave the cleanest ones to the breeder: those are the lings in the video.

No I have not. I guess it is good?
A Tolkien event I remember is when my son and I were caught in a blizzard while trout fishing on opening day (which is March 1 every year). It closed the interstate for a couple days. We couldn't leave our camp, get to a road or even get to the trout stream for 3 days.
Besides him doing his homework, we read The Hobbit to each other and played in the snow. Nice, extremely cold, bonding event.

It is kind of History book that attempts to describe the historical evolution of the Tolkienic universe. In Israel, the Hobbit has a special meaning. During the Yom Kippur War, in 1973, some pilots fell captive to the hard Egyptian captivity . During the long months of captivity, some of the pilots translated Tolkien's "Hobbit" to Hebrew from memory and wrote it on a tattered notebook. When they returned to Israel, the book was published and was very successful!

I wish you'd keep your blasted snow up there where it belongs & give us a chance to dry out a little bit.

Nonstop rain is a bummer for poultry operations.

Sorry, I tried to keep the snowstorms locked up here, but a few escaped and ran south. Trust me, though. I still kept most of it.

You seen any of Phil's snow shots? He's got his hands full up there, too. Better y'all than me. Mud's deeper & at least as slippery as any snow we've had so far.

Chickens we’re moved into new coop yesterday. Had to put them in roost area as they wanted to go back to old coop. Tonight all were inside for the night which is very good as chasing chickens at dusk is not my idea of fun.

Well done

Just got an email back from the brewery! We're setting up a date for me to go pick up a bunch of spent grain! Now these pigs won't be so dang expensive to feed. I'm going to be drying a bunch of grain soon.

When I do that, some try to go back to the old coop for weeks.
Good luck.
