Okies in the BYC The Original

[luvs2garden2000]

Good morning all.

Boy was it humid yesterday. Got the incubator a going again. Thanks Sharon them are some pretty eggs we got from you. Will make candling easy, Rebecca I got you doz of BYS eggs. I see some EE's in there.

I only did top and bottom rack this time. seems that it was over crowded and not much air flow going thru for the middle rack to hatch.

I have the micro bator and Sunday we played around with it but couldnt get it to keep a steady temp 112 at the back and 98 at the front. We have not had time to mess with it again. At 1st couldnt get the temp up past 95 then covered up some of the micro vents and now it is to hot. Maybe if we could mount some how a tiny fan in there.

Rain and Rain and Rain and chicks just DO NOT mix well. Them chicks have plenty of room but they ALL decide to huddle in one corner and thing they need to play king of the mountain. So now I have 4 week old chicks in my computer room, they stink, they are noisy. They ARE going back out today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Teach... that hen is seriously over the edge! I love her! I went out and put trash out and she got all jazzed, so I have to go get her and drag her around for awhile. She was really yelling in there to let me know I had dropped the ball bby leaving her in there. LOL.

The EE cuban gave me is doing OK....The rooster is tring to "conquer" her and she's so far been able to outrun him. The hens seem to accept her OK. Checked the chicks and they are hummimg along.

Can you stagger hatches in a Hova? I've heard people yell don't open the lid.....Is that just during hatching? TOH is sending me my BBS on May 11th.... Oh never mind... what a dipstick I will just grab some reds and "Mark them" (Teach) and throw them in at the same time.

See y'all...good luck with the weather. If you need them there are plans for an ark in Genesis! Chapter 6 I think or 7.....

It is pouring here, but sounds like Pryor, about 23 miles North
is getting hammered. They've gotten 5.8 inches of rain in
3 hours !!! They've closed a long stretch of Hwy 69.

Henny - I was thinking along those lines.....We might otta
gather up "two" of every kind we have............LOL
Like God asked Noah when he sassed him, "Just how long can
you tread water? "

Have a good, and safe, one !

She'd been kept with older but not mature young'uns. I don't think I'd ever seen one of the yard roosters catch her when she was free ranging. Maybe she'll make him woo her before she lets him.

You Okies that are pigeon fanciers, I stumbled across this developing thread:

https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=172907&p=1

It started out about tiger swallow pigeons and progressed into the cruelty of plucking feathers for looks.

At this point, it's closed from Chouteau up through Pryor.
That would be from #412 - North. They have been showing
some film and say they've got air boats out doing rescues.

Stay safe everyone !
