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

[BullChick]

The dog and I got into the garden. He happily hunted... something and I was able to clean up a good section. I also finished getting all of the trash into the fire. No plants made it into the ground, but any day now.

@Uff Da How is everything going? Have you locked up your children during lockdown yet? How are the chicks?

Instead of bothering one person, I’m going to bother several!
I found a guy willing to work on my roof. I have to buy apx 25 gallons of tar. Tar isn’t as popular as it was in the 80’s, and that makes it a headache to find tar instead of a stupid reflective coating that is $60+ and doesn’t do anything for me. My other option is that rubber sealant that is over a hundred dollars a bucket.
These are what I found. Of course one is only small cans. Regardless, if you know what I need, please tell me.

Black Jack's been around for a long time, and is supposed to be pretty good. I know nothing of the Ace Hardware product. Fortunately, I've never had the need to use either of them.

I knew there was something wrong with the Lowes one.
This is the one I was looking at. Both this and Ace are Black Jack.

Okay, the product has been chosen. I think. The hw store said BJ All weather roofing cement. It can be used over shingles.

Going into lockdown with 18 eggs. They're still moving and the air cells look good, so here's hoping something hatches that doesn't have a ton of problems.

I think it may be time for most of the chicks to go out. The ducks really need to since they've gotten huge. Most of the chicks (and the ducks) are sleeping on top of the brooder plate at night. The Houdan, OEGB, turkey, and Salmon Fav are staying in for now.

The more these chicks feather out, the less certain I am of what they are. On the bright side, one of mystery lavenderish chicks is feathering out and I can actually tell what it is. It's a Silver Laced Orp. Cool because I've had buff but not SL.
