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

[ChickenCanoe]

Good evening all!!! I am so far behind I am not going to try to keep up. I just spent my birthday playing around in the San Diego zoo. Weather was so nice. Drove home today in horrible traffic. A 2 hour drive took close to 4 hours.

I am enjoying a nice cold Beck's beer. Hard alcohol and I don't see eye to eye anymore. If I do indulge I'll have a no salt margarita.

I gave 11 roosters to someone today and I have eggs to move to lock down tonight.

Happy hatching everyone!!

Another birthday person. Glad you had fun, except for the drive.

Get him to show you the side view he posted earlier; shows the detail much more.

This was the only picture with the can in it.

I took and worked on it at my old shop it wasn't the type of job I wanted to work on at home.
I miss working on my old hoist....some day I hope to build a garage and have a hoist again.

Keep an eye out for car dealerships going out of business.
A dealership by me closed and they had a liquidation auction. A buddy bought one of the hoists and a few minor tools.
He had to work the day it had to be removed so he recruited me and some other skilled trades from work. I did all the electric work, a pipefitter did all the pressurized stuff and a millwright did most of the grunt work. We had it dismantled in no time.
He had just moved to the country and built a new large shop where he set it up. Too bad he lives so far away, I'd like to use it.
He rebuilds antique cars and beefs up the mechanics.
He has some really cool cars.

Looks like my turn for chick problems now.....

While checking the chicks today, I noticed they seem skinny. (2 chicks)

They are alert, bright-eyed, and active.

I do not have any pictures of their poop, but all poop in the brooder (they share with 4 guineas, all of which seem to have a healthy weight) is normal. No blood.

They are being fed Purina flock raiser, which is not medicated.

Their brooder is clean, dry paper shavings with a seed starting mat for heat. Ambient temp is about 75 degrees f.

They are 19 days old.

I will get weights on them shortly.

Am I overreacting? Should I just feed them scrambled egg and see if that helps?

What did I forget to add info-wise?

That's a good run down. You may be overreacting.
Is the flock raiser 18 or 20% protein? Is it pelleted or crumbles?
Have they had probiotics? If not, I'd start there and add a little protein if their feed is 18%. Some canned mackerel is cheap and works wonders.

What time you picking me up for pool.

Don't know if my car could make it that far. We may have to do some repairs before the drive back.
It is a Ford zx2 with 240,000 on it. Just broken in.

It's 850. Do you know where your pool que is?

Yes. In my car like always, along with a fishing rod. Always kept a tackle box and rod in the trunk.

My wife's Grand Prix has 239,000 and we took it on a trip.....I admit I was a little worried.

20%, crumble. It says it has probiotics in it, but not sure how much.

I know where my fishing pole is....let's fish instead

Warm up the o/b...on my way

It's 850. Do you know where your pool cue is?

@Chaos18 It isn't just me, and it's only a few hours later!

Hello all! I didn't read all the pages i am behind sorry. I am incubating JG eggs again, sensor is taped this round so it can not fall below the eggs this time. On day9 with 11 wiggling, 4 no grows and 6 I can't see through the darn shell.
On a side note I like Jameson better than Crown (My Dads fault for putting me in touch with my Irish ancestry)and Budweiser Black Crown is currently beside me and going down way to good. Hope I have enough they are hard to find!

You rock!

I'm just terribly nervous about these babies..... My last two of Sally's lil uns left. I don't want to kill them by ignoring it........

 

[BullChick]

C'moooooon babies!
