Gonna be getting some hatching eggs in a few days! 4 silkies, cochin, frizzels and polish chicks. Now Krone and Oats will have a better chance for survival with the winter coming. I hope they like them...and I hope most are hens. I'm cool with possibly having 3 roo's but no more. If I have to many roo's they'll be frees to anyone who wants them . (MASS)
Got the incubator set up and running. Doing 45-ish the first 18 days and 60-ish the last 3 for humidity. People seem to have good hatch rates at these numbers so I'd figure I'll try'um. Will be keeping an eye on their air patch, just in case I need to make some adjustments *3*
Got the incubator yesterday... so I asked if my sister wanted to come and she did. She wanted to get MC'Ds so I pull up... and took the wrong entrance. Had to go all the way around and put in our order. Missed the first window so I had to back up to it. Started to head down to TSC and again took the wrong exit. Found the right one then got the incubator and left to go home... took the wrong exit to the off ramp so I turned around and found the right one. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I DRIVE WHEN IM EGGCITED! I miss exits...
