Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

[crfarm]

I think we all need a vacation.... or Calgon, or a stiff drink.

yes I could use a stiff drink. only problem for me is the nearest liquor store is 34 miles away. I live in a dry county.
for me it's a wine cooler.

and I think a nice soak in a tub sounds great. Good idea. I hope you are doing better. On the rare occasions I get a migraine I know they really are or can be crippling. That with other added stress or problems just makes it that much worse. I hope all gets better soon for you.

back at ya.

I don't know but it is the FIRST time it's done that and I have had it for 2 years. It's a gqf redwood hatcher. so depressing. Thanks for the thoughts, just I knew you all could sympathize.

so sorry for your losses Steph

Oh that is funny! I so needed a laugh.. THANKYOU!

I THOUGHT I was having a good afternoon. I had chicks in the hatcher and was going to get a brooder spot for them when I was done with chores just to make sure those that were hatching could finish. Check on them and went back outside to make a new pen for the new coronation trio I had picked up last week and move some young ones out of the basement.
I came in and went to the hatcher and the first thing I see is it had spiked and temp was 104+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't reach that hatcher fast enough and sure enough my 5 cream legbars that had hatched from CJ were dying. Well 2 pullets were gone and the cockerel was on the way out. So instead of having 4 pullets and a cockerel I have 2 pullets and a cockerel and they are iffy right now.
I also lost my FIRST set of Isabella Marans F3's!!!!!!!!!! all 3 of them!

I also lost my 2 blue coppers that hatched.
I don't know how except they were on a lower shelf, but Papa's chicks that hatched this time are so far ok. 2 light sussex, 2 lemon cuckoo (one is not quite right though) and one rhodebar.
I am very depressed. I got the poor babies out and turned the hatcher down and monitored it for awhile. I have a blue cuckoo that was just hatching when I pulled the others out. I really don't think any of the other eggs are going to hatch.....

have to laugh when I remember first moving up here to ky. I told my husband I wanted a wine cooler and he said honey, we are dry. I looked at him real weird thinking, what has that got to do with a wine cooler? then proceeded to tell him, ah no we are not, it just rained yesterday..... he about hit the floor and could not stop laughing at me. I asked him what on earth is wrong with you? When he could breathe again, he said we live in a dry county,,, again huh? he says, dry county, no alcohol!! What?! are we living in the dark ages again???
I have never in my life heard of a dry county and didn't think it was possible in this day and age. oh well, he had a good laugh.

The people around here would have no idea how to even function in a dry county. The town I live in has about 2800 people. We have 3 liquor stores, the grocery store sells alcohol and we have 5 bars. Our town festival involves a beer tent and a band. If beer wasn't there nobody would go. lol
