[BullChick]

@BullChick hi, I hope you are well crazy with kidding season. Can you remind me which direction do you store hatching eggs? Round or pointy side up?

I am so glad you’re alive!!!!
Round end up.

Round end up.

I'm alive none of my chicks are though everything is drowning here we have had so much rain. Just a little bit like 5 in overnight repeatedly and then it rained all day today. The stupid hens took the chicks out in the run and they're all dead

I didn’t know I hadn’t updated my incubation stats here.
14 quail eggs in the incubator, one was added a day late.
The late egg is cracked, but I think it’s developing.
One egg is infertile.
12 eggs are developing just fine.
One Duckling knows now, and won’t stop checking the incubator.

Us too.. what Little we planted.

anybody who planted anything around here unless they're on a hill or well-drained is going to find their stuff as dead as my chicks,. drowning

I’m glad to say my quails are staying pretty dry. I keep meaning to add the ramp to the nesting area to see if they will go up. It would make me feel better. They do have a box to go into.

Pretty much what happened here as well. I found 2 tomatoes that were voluntary and planned to move them to the garden this weekend but the deer had other plans. Sorry to hear about the chicks.

Hi!!! I am really sorry about your chicks! I once lost about 25 because they decided to sleep AWAY from the heat and IN the spilled water from a broken water dispenser. It shows that they really aren't very smart.

We've had more rain than usual, but NOTHING near what everyone else seems to be getting. I still have to water my garden.....

I hope things start to dry up soon for everyone!

Is it next Thursday yet?! I want to count my babies!!
