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

[kwhites634]

On a hatchin note, I did start cooking 12 Rouen duck eggs, 6 silkie eggs, 12 Mille fluer eggs, and two 'who dunnit' eggs that were in the duck nest today.

Looks like we're on identical schedules; I started an even dozen of my own shortly after noon today...all RSL x BCM rooster. God knows what I'll get.

Every time I see another news item about that fire I think about you; good to know you're still far away from danger. Thank God the evacuated have a place to go, even if they have nothing to return to.

I appreciate the thought and concern
I have relatives in that area that made it out safely early in the week, they have been informed by a firefighter friend of theirs that their house is still safe, but that fire is going to be burning for months.
Our area has had less than 50% of normal precipitation since last August, western Canada where Fort Mac is has been in drought conditions since April 2015.
We drove through the area on vacation last year and had to detour around a few major forest fires in July.
The majority of the province of Alberta has seen less than 20% of normal precipitation for the past 2 years.
The forests there are bone dry, and the majority of the vegetation is pine or spruce which ignites like gasoline even when green.

They do eat a lot and grow a ton faster. They are pretty mellow and none of them are crowing. They are fine with the smaller birds. A couple are posturing with each other, but most are very laid back. It may be because they have not been free ranged, and the current pen is not made for this many birds. The new coop is almost ready.

Good to hear you finally fell off the fence!
Good luck with your hatch, mine will likely be quite staggered as the silkies and mill fleurs are bantams, and the ducks are gonna make me wait an extra week.

Yep that's exactly what happened in California last summer. Devastating. You realize how insignificant your problems are when you hear about people loosing everything in the fires, including beloved pets.
