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

/me is irritated. I'm trying to get ahold of the scheduler for the MRI department for pediatrics. She was supposed to call me back last week, and won't call me back, answer her phone, etc. I get it's a gigantic hospital, but since his MRI is like 6+ months overdue to begin with.... UGH.

And, now I also know how my son responds to general anaesthesia, and it wasn't pretty. So I'm even MORE positive I need to talk to their team for his MRI to make sure they do the simplest options first, and only use general as a last resort.

Having him wake up from it and hide under the hospital bed and scream for hours while biting and attacking the nurses, was not fun, poor little guy.

so sorry

That's good to know. We'll have a total of 8 of the RSL hens, if all make it to adult laying. And then 6 EE hens. And, I will be adding more down to the road... Once my silkies or cochin's are big enough I may let the broody raise a batch and see what I like doing better. (i.e. incubator vs. broody hen.)

Our newest batch of babies, with the polish crested are super flighty/nervous. The cochins and RSL that's mixed with my polish are nicer and less frightened, but despite daily handling, our polish crested seem to hate us. LOL They run away and squeak if you try to hold them

Broody hen is the way to go. So much easier.

Sorry to hear that.

The broody raised will be more like chickens., the incubator ones you will be able to handle more and therefore like you better

Try giving the polish haircuts

so far, their fluff isn't very big, or over their eyes, so i'm not sure it would help, not to mention the screaming that would ensue if I made my daughter hold them to trim their feathers right now. They really dislike being held.

They were pretty friendly as chicks, but the older they got, the less they liked us.

Kaj yours are probably bantams then. I just hatched a bunch of those under a broody.

Here's my fav pic of Mae West the cochin.

Soooo you have done some upgrades to your bator, does this mean you are setting eggs soon? If not, why do the upgrades??

especially if they are freshly trimmed

Loved having my Oscar. He almost made to 12 inches before we had to rehome him. Moved from Alaska to North Carolina and didn't think he would enjoy the trip. Been here almost 9 years now and haven't set a tank back up. Have both a 90g and a 180g sitting empty. Maybe one day.

wish I had one that big

No you don't! It is a powe consuming! And if you want dome tropical fish you need yo warm thw water!
