Geesh!
I spend over an hour @ Lowes picking up an online order that was supposedly ready yesterday afternoon.
I finally get home, 50 posts behind, & by the time I get caught up everyone's gone bye-bye.
What a revolting development!

hope you had fun

Bummer on the roof and internet.

Yes I have/had two trios of Altsteirers. One hen has small feathers on legs otherwise she's good as far as I can tell. The theres the one with different color and floppy comb. One rooster great shape one with slightly bent comb.
6 Chicks of theirs hatched 7-14 by broody BCM. All six still doing well.
Eggs of the adult hens are coming in at 50 grams now if scale is accurate. I need to calibrate as I think it's weighing light. Last calibrated in January

How do you calibrate a grams scale? Weighing something of a known weight?

Sorry, I wasn't on last night. Dang cloudburst caused a roof leak.
I think I understand now. The original eggs were 55 grams. I don't think you have a problem. How old are the chicks?.
I might have missed the whole story but I get that you have some adult Alsteriers (pairs?) and some chicks that just hatched?
From this point on, it's about how you feed them.
Get some good probiotics in them if possible.

Putting buckets under water leaks. 2 3/4" of rain in just over an hour.

Did you cook that on the hood of your car?

I think that's possible. A switchback trail up the mountain, then an elevator to the bottom. Well, maybe not.

Why not?

I had a dream about a week ago about chicks hatching. But they were all the wrong color. In the dream, for some reason I had 2 incubators that were at school. After the chicks started hatching, I found out another professor had an incubator there and students had swapped eggs between the 3 incubators so no one knew which was which. I wasn't happy.

You should have time to get good size on the turkey by November. Is it a tom?



Hi!

It isn't hot enough here to cook on the car.
It's a hen. She will live if she isn't a good size. No point wasting her life.

Morning! 15 quail out, 2 passed, 3 with leg issues are improving. Have a great one and keep hydrated! Time to go turn and burn more on the lathe. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Sorry for the issues

Small phone sorry.
Yes I used a certain amount of paper clips or something that was suggested by Google. To see if it was accurate

I found three pipped Buff duck eggs when I woke up this morning! I've been at work for five hours and all I can think about are the ducks. Needless to say, I'm quite worthless today!
