[daxigait]

Help we are supposed to have some severe weather hit later tonight and there is a pretty big risk of electric loss. The big issue is I set eggs yesterday and the consist of 5 chicken eggs, and 1 call duck egg. What am I to do if something happens? Thanks for any help ahead of time.

P.s just got on this thread in the first time in a month because you guys talk so fast I can't keep up, but its nice to have question to ask.

Go to the notes section on the first page. Sally has suggestions. . Good job planning ahead.

Morning everyone.

Good morning, Pensmaster

As far as I know, this is the only time this thread's been this dead at this time of day since its birth in November.
It is awfully quiet here. You have any big plans today?
I'd like to finish the skirting around the new run. Other than that, no.
That sound like a good project to get done. How big is the run?
Just 4-5' x about 20'; nothing monstrous, but I don't need to keep many birds in it at a time. It's just for young stock to choose replacements for the older hens.

Sounds like you could finish it today.

Quote: I guess you won't be finishing your run, something else seems to have come up.
Tomorrow's another day; the work isn't going anywhere.

It'd be nice if some of the work would just disappear.

No, I haven't; don't plan to.
She must be in a remote place. Too bad you don't have a Ditch Witch

I was thinking I needed something else to rile her. Finally got the shovel under her and convinced her to move. Laying on hot granite rock 100* day reaching as far as I could. Only one egg. Did I mention no more broodies?

Yes really short egg harvest. I count on them to provide at least some of their food.

Morning Mike. Even when it's not the season. During the little time I had to have the incubator going for the leftovers from the broodies someone hit the power pole and electricity went down.
