In case anyone is wondering, this is the thread:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...ck-out-of-here-a-diary-of-a-crazy-chicken-man

It's one of those monster threads that you may not look at because it is just so big, and you have to read it from the beginning. I started reading the first few pages, and it's like a book you can't put down. I won't read current posts, or post on that thread, because I seriously don't want to ruin the story

I got 100 pages in and have barely scratched the surface. He should write a book. I am so early on in the experience that I look at it like a movie. Don't tell me what happens...

My lips are sealed...

Exactly... I went through it the same way... VERY worth it...

My broody is on 8 eggs since Sunday afternoon. Pulled one today to check, faint veining visible. She had a loco moment or two where she was off the nest for about 3 hours running away from invisible demons, but has been pretty much sitting tight to the nest since then. Am doing a repeat of my gender selection experiment. Broody hens are boring! Water: check. Feed: check. Still alive: check. Done.

Even one less step with a Brinsea. Water: check. Power on: check
I have never candled a broody egg
Did you say what breed it was?

Okay everyone!!!! I have a serious question here. Remember those chicks that I rescued...well now a couple of them are sneezing and I noticed today that one  pullet had a bubble coming from her nostril. Does this sound like cryoza? I mean I smelled everyone's faces.....  no smell....well smelled like a chicken. Nothing putrid. So I hope its just a cold from all this rain we are getting...and now if it worse case I have exposed my entire ****** flock!!!!!    What am I to do???? I have the pullet in quarantine but the other 2 that are sneezing are still in with the other guys because I do have a pen big enough to quarantine all of them. So.... I am treating the remaining flock with antibiotics...and probiotics.  I swear....I am never going to rescue chickens again. I cant even sell them right now because they are freakin sick!!!!! Someone please just shoot me.....plus my kids are making me want to pull my hair out!  

See this is exactly why I'm stopping myself from doing that rescue, I wanted to do. There is a great article on the BYC homepage about quarantine. At this point I would google it as a respiratory infection and treat everyone. Hope it clears up quick!

I have typed and deleted 3 responses. I guess I have a big heart, too

I knew you'd want to jump on that! See, you can sensor yourself!

I started reading it too, awhile back. Then I switched over to here and haven't been back. His thread is what made me start weighing my eggs. I gotta get back over there to read. I want to find out what happens too!

I hope she hatches some babies!

If you read this entire thing, I will give you a teaser. The post I am most proud of was the "Across the Pond " trilogy. A lot went into it, but Yorkshire deserved it

@Silkiecuddles, how do you do the guy that puts his hands up and shrugs on the mobile?
