Aw, she is so pretty! She does look way more feminine in these pics. Awesome pictures too!

I love hunting dogs. They’re slender, lean machines that are super alert.

I know! They're gorgeous, and so smart.
You should get a lab.

I guess we always want what we can’t have.
But my current dog (who I love endlessly) is NOT a hunting dog. He looks like this. View attachment 2485095

Ohmygoodness, Nick is so adorable. I love his tail so much.

I just got around to watching this and now I want to do it lol. My fiancee would think I'm weird but he might come around for the sake of science. Heck I might replace him with this guy! I didnt see a wedding ring and he seems sensitive!

Joking obviously

Do chickens imprint when they hatch like ducks do? I plan to start incubating in the spring and I'm very excited. How long do you leave them in the incubator after hatching?

Do it!
Yep, they imprint. Most all birds do to some extent.
I leave mine in 2 hours max, I remove them as soon as they're dry-ish. The longest I ever leave them in is overnight. It's good to get them out and eating/drinking, and before they start pooping. Cleaning those first poops out of incubator grates sucks, lol.

Great! For some reason I thought they didnt. Showed my fiancee the video of that silver fox and he just said "great...we're gonna end up with like 50 chickens".

I know they feed on what is left of the yolk in their bodies. Can they just eat normal starter/grower after that?

They definitely do! I've had some super imprinted babies.
Silver fox? Sorry if I'm missing something
Yes, the yolk lasts them around 48 hours. My babies never really start eating until they're 3 days old though, so don't be nervous if they don't eat right away. They should always drink before eating for the first time though, and they'll start drinking around 24 hours old.

@Magapoule do you think you could try to get a candling pic for us tonight?

I had an only chick that my broody wouldn't take, and since none of her brothers/sisters made it, I raised her for a few days. I spent literal hours out in the garage holding her. I read Jane Eyre watching her lol. But we ended up getting her some playmates after a while.

A silver fox is a gray haired handsome man. Like Clooney or Ryan Reynolds. I just happen to have a thing for men with long hair. My fiancee is just now getting gray hairs and he has really long hair. I think I'm giving them to him because I dont have any yet!

I am really trying, but I swear, I can’t see ANYTHING through the egg! I will try again I promise, but gosh the egg is so dark, I think it’s a heavy bloom
