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

[mlm Mike]

There was a hit and run in California. A guy killed the two horses, and knocked the riders off. I’m heartbroken over the poor horses. Do you know what made me laugh? The guy left his vehicle, and literally ran off.

Stolen car?

Power will be turned off at 6:36 pm today. Due to high winds and fire danger. New normal.
No wind yet thankfully. Spent most of morning getting generators ready. 11 of 22 eggs fertile. New rooster.

Good luck with the hatch and power outages!

Thanks. Working on getting water heater hooked into generator now.
Incubator is easy as I’ve already ran a wire to the heater that I can tap into. But that requires running generator all night.

Stolen car?

That was my first thought.

Stolen car?

Nope, just didn’t think, “hey, my car is like my license. If I leave it behind, they are going to find and arrest me quickly.”

And the power is off. Along with all my friends up the mountain. Fairly widespread this one is. No wind yet.

Keep safe

Thanks. All is well so far. Generator made it through the night not sure how much gas is left. It’s a little windy now.

Incubator is cooking away.

And we all have our hot drinks.

How’s the power situation in your area. Windy?

I hope the generator keeps running!

Had a busy weekend here, butchered 5 roosters yesterday after working till noon and even managed to make it to the pumpkin carving/birthday party at my folks by 5. Kids got their pumpkins carved and all the pizza, cake and ice cream eaten so we were in bed by 11. After church my son helped me go and get the 50 bales of hay I bought a month ago, and now i am waiting on the canner to finish on the 7 jars of chicken soup starter we made from the rooster backs and parts that were left after we pieced em out. Whew ... still gotta gather and wash eggs so I can take em to town with me in the morning.

So far so good. However just keeping it full and not having the luxury of turning a switch on or the microwave or oven etc has made for a busy doing nothing day. It could be far worse. But the incubator and fish tank are running.
