So I popped into the "Incubating and Hatching Eggs" area to get recommendations for a good small-ish incubator... Haven't incubated before, so I thought I would take in the collective BYC wisdom on the subject. One of the first threads I saw was "Getting the flock out of here", and I must say, I was intrigued enough to click on it and start reading... And reading... And reading...
Good grief, this is more addicting than any television show and a number of good books! I'm on page 16 of the 300+, and have no doubt that I will eventually get through all of them! Reading time is severely limited by toddler activities, work, and of course the chickens, but I just had foot surgery (yeah, thanksgiving kind of sucked), so I have a little downtime. Silver lining, right?
Anyways, I just have a small backyard flock now, 5 laying hens and 5 12-week olds (at least 2 are roos, I think). I'm trying for a small dual purpose flock. I've only had chickens 2 years, but haven't hatched any eggs yet. That will be this spring's project! I need to go read about incubators, but... Page 17 is calling me... Must "get the flock out of here" before I get sucked into more hours of reading!! Nooooo....
Thanks to all y'all (yep, that's the Texas in me, though I'm currently calling WA state home) for contributing to this highly entertaining, yet surprisingly useful thread.
And my best friend is half-Filipino, and makes some amazing Filipino food... I haven't convinced her to get chickens yet, though...
Happy holidays, I'll probably go back to reading and lurking, but thought I'd skip to the end to say hi and thanks!
OMG you're in Dumauguete. I had no idea it's this soon. How's the road Oz? Hope the typhoon didn't damage the already damaged road.we checked into a budget hotel in Dumaguete. the whole room including bathroom and closet is 10*12.
But hey, its cheap, clean, with ac and hot water.
