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

[daxigait]

Hey Dax - is there no way you can plan annual leave to coincide with the kidding season?
I REALLY REALLY worry about your safety driving those semis on no sleep

I only get 2 weeks and 3 days off a year so not likely. The next year my goal is this fall to cedar everybody and have everything kidding essentially two different weeks in else there's a problem then I can just take a couple of long weekends it doesn't help for the bottle babies but I'm going to cut my numbers to help with that. of course this weekend was my weekend off in between kidding so I could get some rest and know I have a sick baby they kept me up all but four hours Saturday night. Then I was up all day Sunday feeding her with a syringe every hour last night we were at the vet till 10:30 I got home at eleven had to be up at 4. Sigh

Welcome
friendship is the best place to start a necessary if you're going to have any long-term anything anyway.
I I'm not a Hatcher just a long time chatter in this thread. I was going to try hatching once but I'm just play David does it for half the eggs or trade for different eggs that works for me.
I have heritage Rhode island reds and some mixed stuff. Then I have the rest of the menagerie lots and lots of goats a horse a couple of cows couple of cats . And my livestock guardians are two llamas. I work too many hours for dogs to get into trouble.

Friendship is indeed the best place to start. It’s also the best place to stay when neither person can afford to visit very often.

No dogs, dogs left alone get in trouble or end up on chains.
