I'm so frustrated I just read something on a chick being shrink raped in its shell. So since my eggs that should have hatched today didn't my mom and I checked them. We opened them up and all but one died from being shrink rapped. So now we are trying to save the one that is still barely alive.

Ohhh.... so sorry!

Yes, very productive day. We cleaned all the cages, pens and brooder. All the babies got moved around. I shop-vaced the webs and dust. The pen for the turkey poults is cleaned and drying. It will be ready by the 24th for them. I put eggs in lockdown and refilled the incubator with another 70 or so eggs. I saw my Turkeys getting it on today. I have three of their eggs in the incubator and developing. I have no idea if my BR or the other guys Narragansett toms are the poults' sire. We also got 20 of the 42 total 2x4x8' studs I need for the new turkey pen. We got fast framer kits for a 10x22' shed for them. Ah yeah. Good day.

Beautiful day to do stuff outside!
Can you take some pics as you use the fast framer kits to build with? My curiosity is up. Anything to save work interests me.

"wrapped", not "raped". You kind of freaked me out for a bit until I sorted that.

I must be getting used to the cold, anything above freezing seems like a nice day.

Same. Thursday was around 19 up here. That sun made it a gorgeous day!
