Making the most of it.

They fit into an automatic turner. The egg cups are sized for quail eggs, which flop around in the chicken cups.

Ohhh okay. I palm turn. My bator isn't big enough for turners.

I just candles four of the quail eggs and all four looked to be clears... Not a good sign. I put them back in cause I'm not sure how they will look at this point...

Hey, Friday. How the heck, are ya?

Hi Whites,

I'm good, but working too hard. Then we had a fire across the street and I wanted to make sure the flames didn't jump into our trees. (That's why I'm 8 hours late in sayin' HI.) Our Village's little tanker kept running out of water, so I had the garden hoses ready to wet things down.

Not a fan?

Silkies are not my thing. Kind of like owning a Pomeranian for a dog,

Wouldn't be interested in raising them for any reason other than as broodies, which I hear they are quite good at.

It's not dictated by financial circumstances. It will be dictated by a want for healthy, hormone free, grade A meat that you can't buy in any store. My expressed reason for getting chickens has always been as dual purpose birds which is why I only get dual purpose birds. But that's not to say I'm not a softie with some animals, chickens just currently aren't one of those animals.

I process my extra cockerels. Besides what Chaos said, it's one less chicken bought from a factory farm and treated horribly. At least I know my boys had a good life and a clean death, even though I cry every time.

They're moving soon to a bigger bin soon I hope?

It's bigger than the box they came in......
Just kidding. They got moved to a big box Tonight! Thought that old bin was going to be big enought, but it's not! I sure don't want them to start canibalism. I have an awesome brooder box, but it won't fit inside the house. Temps outside are freezing, so they are inside with us for the time being.

Yes, they are all doing wonderful so far

Kwhite634, what I meant about the comment at work, that guy thought I ordered "chicks" online.......not poultry. Well......I'm not that kinda girl!
