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

[BantyChooks]

Make sure it is water based and not oil based. I got the idea from when I was doing my own aquarium props. could use just about anything to make the décor and then slap a few coats of paint on it to keep anything from leaching into the water. Theory actually worked better than I figured it would in the incubator.

Ok so yesterday volunteered at my vets office. I had a pretty good day started by making sure all the cloths were clean then gave a dog a bath. Watched a few pets get shots. And then the fun part I got to watch a dog get spayed except I got sick at the sight of all the blood and nearly passed out. So after regaining my head I watched the vet removed 2 cists off of a daschund. After that we had lunch and had to make a farm call for a sick horse. The horse had a twisted intestine and had to be put to sleep which was very sad. Then went back to the vet office and had a few more get shots and had to trim a rabbits teeth also had a dental cleaning on one. But that just about sums up my day yesterday. I am hoping to go back soon.

I am glad you enjoyed most of it. I never had trouble with the blood or autopsies, spaying, etc, but I am a wuss at disbudding when baby goat cries or when you have to put down someone's horse/pet.

I'm not sure I can ever get this LG truly clean.... It had 6 month old quail shells and yolk all over it from a failed hatch, spiderwebs, dirt, a thick layer of dust...... Even the bleach soak I did when I first got it didn't get it all out!

I use a lot of hydrogen peroxide or vinegar to clean with. A lot less toxic than bleach.

Morning Mike. Think I'm going to get those 5 orphaned chicks some friends today.

Woohoo!!!

Ooooh, I want to come. Have a great ride! What type of horses do you have? Hey @BantyChooks bring your foxtrotter, and I will get my Peruvian Paso. Anyone else?? Hey @kwhites634 I have a spare if you want to come.

I have a middle aged lippett morgan, we r trying to get some muscle in and fat off lol, she was an ornament for a couple years, but will be perfect for my daughter, and she drives

you know the only time I ever got to ride was in Jamaica on the white beach on a nasty old poor beast, in a bathing suite what did I know????

I always feel bad for those horses You can come ride my girl anytime! Lots of great animals around here

We need to fix that. I think I'd slowly pine away if I couldn't be 'round horses, they are truly medicine for the soul.....

so true!!

Don't twist my arm

twist twist

I need to go.

See you later!!

I have to go too... I do hope you all have a Wonderful Day!

have a great day!

Bare legs and saddles, especially western saddles, don't play well together. Talk about road rash!

sooo bad!!!

Got to go. BBL Got a truck & trailer to unload & a coon to dispatch.

have a good day!!

Sounds like the one I use. I really like the western cut, but got turned off of the true western saddles after getting punched in the stomach with the horn a few too many times..... A few weeks after switching saddles, (a while back) I was out on a trail, and ran across a bee nest... Horse became an acrobat, and I landed right where the saddle horn would have been and slid onto his neck. (but kept my seat, somehow) That would have turned out MUCH worse if I had been using a western! -Banti

ouch I have seen my share of acrobatic horses ugh

All six of six hatched.Sox new baby Silkie.I can't believe I got a white from my pair of blacks

Congrats!!

I have one of those with the automatic turners. It has worked well for me. I have an additional hygrometer (?) that I keep in it, but so far, it has worked fine. The hard part- I am dealing with it now, is cleaning broken yolk and other stuff from the styrofoam after the hatch.

I bought it after ordering eggs that arrived while I was banging my head against the wall trying to build a coolerbator...

The darn thing is sitting on the porch unfinished. DH says the thermostat is shorting out. So much stuff to return and I don't have the time or patience right now!

Good luck!
