That view is pretty slick, though. It looks like you’re RIGHT there!


Eeeeeeeeee. I’m so in love already with these ducks. The views are AMAZING.

All shipped eggs so very stressful to see if they hatch

Congratulations! How do you like hatching in the cartons... I’m considering it, pros and cons?

We have a dozen shipped BCM eggs incubating along with our own OE eggs; stressful indeed! Congrats again!

Great question! Did you cut holes in the bottom of your cartons, Doubletree?

I got the humidity up to 65% by putting plastic wrap over the top of my box and a teacup of boiling water in one corner....I pulled back a tiny piece of the pipped shell to see if there was membrane to be oiled, but there is a beak...and it's pushing at the shell.....View attachment 1811938

I have a chick this morning! The orphan egg hatched at dawn. Against all odds, I really was not expecting success with a heating pad in a plastic tote.
Broody hen and babes are doing fine this morning out in the coop. Next big challenge for this chick is will she adopt it?
Last night we went to TSC and got permethrin poultry powder. I swept out and dusted the main coop, nests, not the birds yet. This morning I will move mom and babies and clean out and dust their area and dust mama with the powder. Does this sound okay? Is this stuff alright around chicks?
