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

[BullChick]

Want me to just send you one? I would be very happy to! I can send more than one, if you need, and I made kid sizes, too. Just message me your address of you want!

No, thank you. I don’t deserve your kindness.

My lighter, more modern machine could do it in a pinch with care, but my all-metal machine just zips through what other machines chew up.

Don't you hate how the newest ones just can't do it well? I have an older Kenmore 12 stitch that can plow through almost anything. Last year when it was in the shop to be retimed, I had to pick up a new one as a backup. That thing has pretty stitch patterns but can't get through more than a few layers of cotton. I ended up buying a second Kenmore 12 stitch as my backup and the newer machine is buried in a corner in the closet lol.

My machine is lost somewhere. I do have an ancient one in the closet, but I’d be afraid of breaking it. It’s antique, and my knowledge of how it works is buried in the mind of the person I used to be. I’d have to hand sew or use a no sew pattern.

You certainly have evolved in your life.

You certainly have evolved in your life.

Ha ha. I believe you’re joking.

No, thank you. I don’t deserve your kindness.

Certainly you do. You've figuratively held my hand through at least a couple hatches now, never once letting on that I'm a bit of a dingbat, hahaha!

Yes! I was so excited when I got the bells-and-whistles machine on sale. Now I pretty much only drag it out for automatic buttonholes.

I failed at making masks. Apparently I can't just pick sewing with the machine back up whenever I want.

I have eggs, though.

I don’t think you’re a dingbat.

Awww, that's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me!

I love this dog for not jumping on me when my eyes open in the morning. Unless he has to potty, he’s content to let me go back to sleep. I went back to bed an hour or so ago, but the telltale sound of a loose baby quail drug me back out of bed. It’s a little early to be sure, but it looks like a little girl.
Okay, so it’s a given that some will be pullets. I’m just excited that I can start to sex them. I’m likely keeping a breeding group inside. The sooner I can separate the girls into a cage, the better.
By the way, the dog came out to see if I had food, then went back to bed.
