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

[hippiestink]

Thanks @Fire Ant Farm and everyone else for being nice to me today. Bit of a blow to my self-esteem but pretty much everyone agrees that this is a good thing and i did nothing wrong.

Yes Sally, yes .... What so special about it?

It says God knit you together. That you were made special, that he knew you and had good plans for you before you were even born, and lime Chaos 18 said, you and the rest of us were blessed by your birth. So it is your day and it is special no matter how many bad things or people try to rain on you.

I agree! She made a birthday up for me because I wouldn't tell her when mine was. I think you and I should be depressed about birthdays together.

WHAT

exactly...what?
You just throw a bunch of headbanging out there...

LOL! I have my reasons, and I have been given a death sentence before. I wasn't begging for my life. We don't always understand the feelings of others.

but that makes no sense....death sentence?...begging for life...then you say you don't like living......I was given a death sentence and I'm glad I didn't die....I chose the alternative.

You don't need to separate the chicks. They will be close enough in age.

Not helping!!!! Lol

Speaking of...I was going to separate my little 1 week old bantams from the other chicks (because they're still so much more tiny that the others) and put them in a new brooder with the new chicks that HOPEFULLY hatch this weekend - should that be ok??

I learned this trick working at Denny's Restaurant. Haha.

My first restaurant was Sizzler.....that's where I first saw it. But they did the same thing at Chart House!

Look y'all, LOOK! It was Blanche's first time, she's being a great momma

I love the mom and the babies!! How cute!!!! I want to steal Blanch though. She is such a good mama!!!!

I have 2 month olds with 3 day olds. As they hatch, I let them spend a couple days in the incubator to get a bit stronger, then I put them in the same pen as all the others. Good luck!!

So i have a question. Why is it important to wait till they dry off before putting them in the brooder?

When they are wet they cant termoregulate properly

You might have to move them to the brooder....
