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

[Cynthia12]

ouch. I hope it's usable it didn't cost you too much to fix.

I was blessed that this limb that came down Friday and one of our storms didn't do more than put a little crack in the concrete of the porch. it's 18 in around the base and over 25' long. it was not fun cutting it up in the 90 degree temperatures this weekend but it is done and stacked.

. Glad it didn't make it through a window. That wind can do some crazy things! We get micro bursts here. They can be pretty bad.

I wonder if that would be useful for chickens?

it might be is a good source of calcium and I use it for preventing milk fever but in the heat might be a good idea. I don't know about the concentration though.

No worry just yet; God still trying to figure out what to do with me. He just took my sister & brother in; not sure he can handle all three of us right away.

Death is such a bummer still for those of us left on this side, but there is so much hope in the promises of Jesus.

I was very glad. The Lord deflected it off another branch and turned it. We get back reverse tornadoes straight-line winds you name it we get it around here and it was just one of those when's that blow up with our summer evening storms. I am just glad I didn't lose the whole tree. people are losing a bunch of them around here because the ground is so incredibly wet trees end up with shallow roots a lot of times cuz we have so much Rock.

The doeling tried to come out tail first so I had to reposition and pull. Sally talked me through it. a few hiccups (didn’t realize they could still get chilled when heat index is 104) but they seem fine now.

Oh yeah..the wet! I can see why trees are going.

I get some it really depends on the doe. last year I had a set of triplets and a set of quads this year I just had one set of quads.

 

[daxigait]

my poor broodiess. first they took all the chicks they hatched out and let them drown in one of our arial floods and now they keep fighting over eggs and breaking them with half-formed chicks. I just don't have anywhere to put them to keep them separate so it's just kind of sad.
