MORNING ALL, happy Saturday!!
WHATS THE WEATHER IN YER
NECK OF THE WOODS?
My internal clock goes off between 4 and 5 most days. I worked evenings and midnights most of my life. I hated it. I love seeing the sunrise. The only time I saw it back then was before going to bed.Same here. My internal clock wakes me at 4:30 most days. Even as a kid. So I was shocked when I found out it was 10:00. Lately it's more like 5:30
They almost never hatch out of a big shell either. Twinning is a death sentence in egg layers.We've gotten double yolkers out of several of the tiny Olive green eggs. I'm guessing the big one will be breakfast tomorrow. I'm concerned because I set several of the smaller army green eggs before I realized it kept giving us double yolks. I can't imagine 2 chicks could ever hatch out of a tiny little shell.
Good one.Both my daughters hate it when they call to tell me what one of the grandkids have done this time and I burst out into a maniacal laugh. Then I stop suddenly and say in my best Keanu Reeves impression, 'w hoa, flashback dude! '
It has gotten to the point recently they have stopped telling me what the little 'Angels' have done. They tell my wife, and ask her to relay the message now.
I didn't know you had eggs cooking in the incubator.Two internal pips
I checked yesterday and the late April frost killed all of my fruit. Apples, pears, peaches, apricots and plums are all gone.That's typical spring here, 5-6 days in the sixties, then one or two in the thirties, then right back to sixties and seventies.
That cycle usually lasts till the end of May.
I do raised beds for most of our tomatoes, peppers, and other tender veggies with cover later in the year.
I have tried covers in the spring, but have lost the temperature battle too many times.
I just keep them in my sunroom until the end of May now, transplanting to successively bigger pots until the weather cooperates.
I usually plant them six to eight inches deep when the go out permanently
About?I'm so excited
A roll of remesh can be cut into 10' lengths and make a hoop pen 8' wide and 120' long. Or some combination thereof.will you PM me pictures and how to on your grow out/hoop coop?
Anyone else who has a quick inexpensive pen I can do as a grow out coop for the young boys for the summer I would appreciate it.
Thanks
You could have thrown the last 2 eggs in an incubator, just in case. They will certainly abandon a nest a couple days after the first hatch.alright! Broody hatch is done, hen isn't interested in the remaining two eggs, I candled And I can't see much, But I didn't see any movement so They are going to be thrown out tomorrow if there isn't anything interesting. I PROMISE I will post pics soon, Like tomorrow if I have the time. The chicks went outside for the first time today, it was pretty funny! I have some pics of mom stretching out and sunbathing with the babies about to jump onto her! I ended up with a total of 5 chicks, I think I am keeping two, or maybe three, Deff. keeping the third one until november. Two are going to a new home as soon as they are old enough to leave mom!
Meat.What is everybody's favorite treat besides mealworms for your chickens?
They really avoid anything they've never seen or seen another chicken eat.You think that's weird - my Naked Neck flock doesn't like mealworms!!!!

This place sells dried ones by the pound with free shipping.Mine haven't because the price is crazy.
That's nice.I get it, alright; have for 43 years. I worked in Gaithersburg, MD; in the heart of the richest county, per capita, in the country at the time; concrete, traffic lights, and far too many people. 30 miles to the north was a whole 'nuther world. I'd made up my mind that my kids would grow up knowing what a tree was without looking in a book. My daughter was once overheard telling one of her girlfriends how glad she was to have been raised in a country environment, rather than in the city somewhere. That made it all worth it for me. She actually woke up one morning telling us there'd been a cow mooing all night outside her bedroom window. She was right; I found the tracks.
These days she and her brother have both made their homes & raised their families in more urban surroundings, and it shows, in their children. Me, I wake up every morning to the sound of a rooster crowing outside my bedroom window, can still hear the cows, and find deer tracks year 'round on my own property...HEAVEN IS......
My eggs set last sunday took a temp spike (106F) the first day. I hope that didn't kill them. I caught them at 103 yesterday.Temps holding fine on my eggs set last Sunday, but I can't get the humidity down; still running mid-high 40's.At first it was running low, so I put in a folded paper towel with a bit of water in it. That didn't help, so substituted a couple Rx bottles; not a lot of help. I added a couple or three 3cc syringes of water to the troughs; humidity shot up into the mid-50's.
Water's evaporated in the troughs, Rx bottles have been removed, a small bowl of rice added, and a de-humidifier, that we normally use in the summer in the basement, has been set up right next to the bator; current RH 40%.
Other than relocating the 'bator to the spare bedroom upstairs, which is an option, I'm fresh out of idea. Problem is, I haven't a clue if the humidity is any lower there, and no known means of finding out other than pulling one of the gauges out of the 'bator.
I can't wait to see what AC's look like tomorrow!
Any hints out there?
I want to be in high mountains closer to the Equator. My perfect place would have no need for heat or air conditioning. Cool nights and mild days year round and no bugs (flies/mosquitos)I want to go more west. New England is going to be worse weather this weekend.
I'm no longer big on crowds. But I do brave them for the farmer's market. I'm going today. I think I'll pick up some goat meat.
If I went in the city, I think I would have severly compromised mental health. I can't even stand being in the city for more then a few days, I get claustraphobic.... Too many people and cars and flashy lights..... And I miss my critters dearly.
Good morning everybody!
