Here they are fluffed up. A 3rd is hatching now.
Here's the hen who's getting the April Fools Prank. Not only will she hatch more chicks than eggs, but they will be bigger than her in about 3 weeks!

I think a dispatching is more likely. Y'know the last skunk I caught i seriously had to talk myself out of Putting him in a box or sealed bucket. I thought it'd be hilarious for the trash guy to get half mile away and hit the compactor and think he ran o er s skunk. Was so close to doing that or setting him in a box by the road when the teenagers get off the bus and curiosity overwhelms them. Could a had so much fun but would have been a bit less humane.Can I suggest since you caught him, keep him inside your garage, and keep feeding him well. When TIMES GET HARD,,You can still keep all your chickens as egg producers
By the size, I estimate him to be about 1 1/2 years old. Still tender. They only have a lifespan of 3 to 4, and constantly grow during their life. The larger, you see one, the closer he is to Retirement Golden Years.
I could use one of those BABUSHKAS for one of my chickens that keeps getting scalped. The lowest on pecking orderI was thinking of getting some of this for her.

Surprised the controller doesn't have more control. Is it for incubators or repurposed?Checked and moved eggs to hatching try . Some were pipped already . Due Thursday . Hmm might need to lower temp if they hatch too early . Put a digital controller on and need to find the sweet spot . Set it at 100 as it does not do half degrees .
It is one of those $12 types off eBay . They are better than the old GQF type . I quit those and went back to wafer for a few years . Love these digital types . So easy to set . I use them om my brooder also . One degree increments and down 1 to 1.5 degrees to kick on again . I now think I misremembered the day I set them . So on time I think . Those older GQF were hard to dial in and about $70 . Junk really .Surprised the controller doesn't have more control. Is it for incubators or repurposed?
My turkeys always hatch a day or three early. Even under a hen.
