Yes! A friend of A friend didn't have room anymore for it and is giving us everything for it. Tank, heat rock, heat lamp hiding log, and extra bulbs!

You & your hard water!
I seldom throw live bait, myself. When I do, it's minnows. Takes 3-4 decent-sized tackle boxes/bags to carry all my "essential, no-need-even-going-without-it" gear, then I only use 2-3 all day. Can't use it if ya ain't got it.

Nice 'Eye. What'd she hit?

I'm guilty. One huge tackle box that goes if I'm going to be on different types of water or a lake.
A couple small ones if I'm just going to a single stream, pond or trout fishing.

Basically my guess at what went down is this: just before our vacation the dandilions were letting their seeds go out into the wild blue yonder. One probably got sucked in while she was breathing and lodged in there, then just festered. It's happened with foxtails, I'm not surprised if it happened with her and a dandilion fluff.

Its not fun getting it out.

That's a new one on me.

Something went wrong with my hatch, one zipped so far then died, temp was 100 and humidity was 65, so that was fine, idk. I opened the egg anyway and it didn't have defects and nothing looked wrong. I have 7 more and hopefully they go much better or this may be my one and only time incubating eggs!

A pipped or zipped chick that died could be from breeder nutrition, breeder disease, low humidity, prolonged egg storage, low temp for a prolonged period, high temperature at hatching, poor ventilation or inadequate turning during first 12 days.

I missed out on those times. One grandfather died when I was a young sprout barely out of the ground. The other farmed 120 acres 750 miles away. Only time I was ever around him it was for only for a few days at a time. I did get to stay a couple weeks with him one year; I believe we hit every sale barn in IL, & he knew someone at every one of them! Clinton, Montecello, Farmer City, we hit 'em all.

One of mine died about 5 years before I was born, the other died when I was about 3.

That's unfortunate. Snake is some good eating.

rattle snake, yes. Rosy boa, no.

Morning y'all. River is down, I noticed yesterday. I'm sure it's down in Crowley by now. DH can tell me when he passes through to get our new pup.



Love an impulse dog.

I realized last night that my pup-sized kennel has the world's meanest broody on six eggs. So I've got a fun job today.

Didn't take long for me to have a 12x20 pad poured w/7 kennels on it. Made life a lot easier to clean when I could hose it down into the gutter. Had 17 dogs at one point, including 2 litters of small pups.

rattle snake, yes. Rosy boa, no.

Boa's taste just as good. More meat to them as well.

In the last million years, chicks hatched without any help.

So it isn't a rare breed that needs to be preserved at all cost.
Thoughts?
My thought is that if a chick is too weak to hatch on its own and needs to be sprung, its offspring may also not be able to hatch on their own.
Just sayin'.

I get your point- But these chicks aint getting used as breeders. All I care about is getting it out alive!

And the reason it flipped is I put it the wrong way up- not that it didn't have strength to pip the first time.

Morning Whites!
