Feel so bad since there in so much mud but we're trying to rectify that. Been looking for a builder to build the new chicken coop. I'm hoping we can find someone soon!!Hey there Missyall's good here, how bout your end, and whatcha been adooin'?
Jeff
Yes ma'am it has!! All your garanimals doing alright??
That's so cool! (pun intended)Almost forgot to update on the refrigerated turkey eggs. Everything is going fine. The temps have been perfect as well as the humidity. There was one day that I had forgotten to check on the humidity and it had dropped down to 20 but I got some water in there quickly. Lockdown is on Saturday and hatching should commence next Tuesday. I have never candled because dummy me does not know how to candle.Everything smells fine. No rotten smells.
I will update everyone next week when they are scheduled to hatch. I hope that I have some "cool" turkeys (the refrigerated turkey eggs)
Hi Missy! good to hear from you!Hi everyone!!
Hope all has been well with you all!!
That's funny you mentioned a haz mat suit. When I worked in an oil refinery, Hazmat was one of the 150 certifications that were required. After about 40 hours in the classroom, we went to City park in N.O. for our physical testing. When we got there, the instructors had thrown out some pop corn that we were to pretend was a hazardous waste spill, we had to clean up. We put on what looked like space suits, with the gloves duct taped around the wrists and the shoe covers taped around the ankles and air tanks on our backs, to fish out the popcorn, before it was all eaten by the ducks. Even though the instructors were not in any protective clothing and the ducks were eating the popcorn, no matter how many times the instructors told the onlookers it was only a drill and no danger, everyone cleared out really fast!!!LOLI purchased 100 shoe covers from Amazon and they were only $9.00. When I was taking care of that old man's sick chickens, I put on my protective equipment. I did not step foot out of my truck into his yard until I had my shoe covers on. I had gloves and a full plastic apron on top of my clothes. I looked like a member of the Haz Mat team.I visited his house 2 times a day for a about 10 days and I never strayed away from my biosecurity steps. I was PARANOID about bringing any disease back to my flock. I couldn't tell the old man that I wasn't going to help him for being fearful, so I made sure that I was suited up. When I was done with his chickens, I removed my protective equipment and shoes before I got back in my truck. I put everything in a garbage bag and sealed it. I tossed the bag at a gas station down the road. I didn't even bring it back to my house. When I got home, I immediately took my clothes off and washed my clothes before going into my chicken yard.
I have had people to look at me funny and with stares when I tell them that they have to put on all of this stuff but I don't care. If they don't want to then GOOD BYE and GOOD RIDDENS. It ain't worth it buddy. That includes no spitting in my yard.
That's just a little lagniappe biosecutiry for the birds safety.TMI - too much information huh? Yea, I know.
You can never be too careful.
