INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[ChickenCanoe]

Welp. I gave my chickens bananas, they won't eat them. LOL

I gave my adult flock lettuce, broccoli and a carrot, but my goats stole them. So my daughter split a popcicle up between the chickens. LOL Apparently, my adult flock will defend their bounty if it's popsicles.

Chickens will ignore carrots and broccoli unless it is diced. Without hands and teeth, they need bite size morsels of hard things.

I dropped an egg yesterday on accident...my chickens swarmed! I didn't have to clean up a drop. LOL.

Fingers crossed they don't become egg eaters.

It was cooked.

No, not on mine. There have been sightings of a big cat about ten miles away near the Spring river. Predators actually heard or seen include skunk, coon, possum, cyote pack, and dogs. There was a bobcat a few miles away.

I floated the Spring river with my brother and nephew many years ago and Capp's creek too.
On Capp's creek we went trout fishing and snorkeled the old mill dam catching crawfish we cooked up for dinner.

Bloody yipping cyotes are my biggest concern right now with the goats in threes pens for breeding and only one llama. Thankfully, it is only for a few weeks (two cycles normally).

I have heard of bears in the forest though where we will take bells when we ride next month 1.5 hours away MTNF.

OOHHH! that works then.

Good plan.

That sounds like it was fun. The sad part now is I am not sure if I would eat anything from the rivers, though a lot of clean up has been done over the last thirty years supposedly.

Yeah. Spring river was pretty nasty. We caught bluegill, bass and other sunfish but we threw them back.
My brother got a raft as a going away present from his co-workers at Emerson in St. Louis when he moved to Carthage and he wanted to try it out with his son so I went with them. The industrial area we floated through was very disturbing.
I usually don't float water like that. The closest I've come was going through a deep hole on the Osage fork of the Gasconade river where people had dumped cars for decades. The other time was in the Missouri River race.

Capp's creek was pretty clean and spring fed which is why they stock it with trout.

Yeah, I didn't think the goats would eat cooked veggies, but I was wrong. LOL

In 1875 a Dallas attorney said that Fort Worth, TX was so dull, he had once seen a panther sleeping in the street downtown. People believed !
Rather than feel insulted (as intended) Fort Worthians embraced the legend, incorporating it into their history and architecture.















There was never a real panther, but people love legends.

What am I doing wrong?! They are 8 days old in the pictures (taken last night). The incubator is at 100* and humidity is at 45. I tried to get it up higher but it likes to stay at 45.

Why do I seem to have two air cells? They are not shipped eggs and are from a local breeder. Thank you for your help.









I will be surprised it this one makes it, as it is missing part of the shell. I have a paper towel over it. I am surprised it has developed this much so far. The shell was broken off a little bit at day 3.
