Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Wanna know how bad I want those new chicks coming in today? I have called the feed store 3 times. And with my influence in this town, I also called my local police department friends to be sure they arrive safely to the feed store. I’m not kidding! As a retired deputy Marshal does have its perks! I NEED those chicks!

Tribe 2. On the ground what's more.
Well most of them. Tack is back in the yellow coop sulking because I stole her eggs.

Lovely, and I can't help but think of all those fertile eggs! I bought a brand new incubator. I had the heat set perfect. Ran perfect. Babies were coming alive. Shipped eggs at that. I had candled them around 9:30. Thought I would check the temp around 11:30. Hot! The eggs weren't just a bit too warm, they were hot! Then I smelled it. The motor! That motor malfunctioned big time. I hurried and unplugged it. What if I hadn't checked it before bed? Fire? I'm seriously thinking it could have happened. Of course, all of my babies died. To say I was depressed is an understatement. I actually cried a bit. I got hold of the guy I had gotten some if the eggs from because they were mostly fertile, ordered more. Taking that incubator back to the Cal Ranch store when I can. Hope they'll give me a new one, without a receipt. I know the gal pretty good now that helped me. She's in there most of the time when I go in for feed and other things. .

I am so sorry this happened to you. What a tragedy!
