Official Squatch Watchers

[Molpet]

Actually, I got my wires crossed. According to my breeding program. I only need cockerels from HAL and my original girls, not pullets! That's a relief. I need pullets from this year's cockerels and my original trio next year. That means that Robinson MAY be a keeper!
Ignore the turd, look at the legs!

Hmm. big, thick legs, small poop!! What's not to like?

Ignore me, I am just getting a crazy spell too much covid on the brain and same old four walls to stare at.

Looking for opinions....
my incubator arrived and it doesn’t have humidity readings. I missed it in the listing.

Part of me is thinking...no big deal I always incubated with secondary thermometer-hygrometer. There isn’t a whole lot of room in there but a hygrometer with a probe is about $15.

The other part is thinking...WTF!?! For the caliber of incubator why do they even make an incubator w/o humidity reader.

So my options are return this one and for close to the same price get the smaller 28 egg incubator with integrated hygrometer.
Or keep this one and get a hygrometer. It’s about $200 more to get the 56 egg with hygrometer.

online reviews are mixed... they love the incubator but wish they had gone bigger or wish they had sprung for the integrated humidity readings.

What do I do!?!?!

I would go with the biggest one.

The sole photo I was able to get from today’s distribution of bribes. I learned that the chicks will tolerate my presence if I sit on the ground, quietly and without movement. Picking up my phone though makes them bolt 9 times out of 10.

Anyone heard from @apryl29 lately? I feel like it has been quite awhile

I'm here. We were running on quarantime & the weeks blew through.

They are doing well. I was a bit surprised that at last vet visit with Tilly she was a bit chunky. More time outside should fix that. She is mostly over her panic attacks when I step out of sight.

River....well she is gigantic! She is 8 months now and taller than Tilly. I think she is a bit lighter than her yet.

River says staying at home is boring as tater. She misses her outings.

I still think they sold you a tiny horse.

Great to hear from you! I understand about the blurring. I missed a regularly scheduled meeting with my advisor last month after loosing track of the days of the week. Hope you and your younguns are doing well!

Id go smaller or just buy a hydrometer unless you are planning to hatch a butt ton of eggs at one time.

Hi everyone! Hope you're doing well. Yay for the new babies & sorry for the losses.
I've been trying to convince myself to get stuff done. We lost Nibbler a few weeks ago. She couldn't see to eat & when I held out food for her she completely missed my hand. The vet said she probably had internal laying. I'm down to 9. I got some scrapbooking done, though not as much as I'd like. Space is limited & I had to put it away when the kids had dance. Somehow I lost some school photos, looked everywhere & can't find them. Watched masked singer & tiger king. Carole totally killed her husband. Bought Kyra's prom dress. They rescheduled prom for mid June.. we'll see if it happens. Took her driving too. Younger one is a jerk. I know why some animals eat their young. Constant fight over homework & refuses to do it until last minute, then complains. But I can't ask about it at all bc she gets made at me, like I caused this. But it's totally not that she lies in bed 24 hours a day then says she can't sleep, but she also refuses to get up or go outside. Kids are fun! I bought a sewing machine and started making masks. Gave one to my daughter's friend bc she's allergic to staying home. Did she wear it out today? Nope. Smh. Went back to work today for the first time. Managers are half time til the 18th when staff return at half time. Still have 2 offices to clean, but made progress today. We're expecting 40% loss of income so I lost most of the budget I was given before this. I also lost my full time employee until at least the end of the year which is fine bc no computers means I don't need another person. We will have a levy on the ballot in November and if it fails we may have to close a branch. Dance comps were rescheduled for August. Who knows if we'll still have recital in June. Ohio is trying to do a slow reopen but ppl are being stupid. We'll see what happens in 2 weeks. It's winter again so hopefully people will stay home.
