She said/He said Who's right? Who's wrong? No one!

I never caught up, I lost my place :( I stayed away too long again. I went to quote someone and lost it, it was a long 1 too. Oh well, nothing important.

How's everything going? How's all the chicks/chickens?

4, 8 & 12 look good...
Humidity been 25-30%... hand turning 3x a day...

Oh, Ruby? Does this look familiar? lol...

400

X2!!

Ha! I guess it does work then!
Do you find hand turning the calls does better? Thats what I read about peafowl too. And i had a good hatch with them doing it that way.
 
When I was growing up my dad bought and restored a 57 T-bird and I was always out there tinkering around with him and my oldest brother was really into music lessons cars so I just kind of picked alot up over the years and then I took auto mechanism in high school and went to an auto mechanics college for a little bit til I couldn't afford my student loan anymore, lol. Me, my husband and my brother all went together and all ended up quitting around the same time.
 
Thanks. While the perpetrator was in lockdown, one of the hens needed to go lay an egg (I could tell by the way she was pacing) so I put her in via the nest box flap. After she came out, I was trying to let her out of the run, without letting him out, but he's sneaky and I couldn't get her through the door without letting him get out too. Hubby asked why I didn't just go inside and pick her up and bring her out. "Uh...uh...I'm not going in there with HIM right now!" ... that's when the decision was finalized that he was the roo that was leaving.

Mine may be going down the same road before long. Went to open up this morning & as usual he let his girls file out first. He came past me in the open gate & caught me in the calf. I wasn't sure whether it was intentional or not, since I didn't see it coming, so I let him be. Went out later to collect eggs & he made a run at me, only this time I was ready for him & caught him amidships. We'll see if he needs any more altitude adjustment.

Shipped Calls have to be hand turned, so just doing them all same... in Spring when I'm getting more eggs I'll probably put them in a turner...

They're all doing really well. The silkies are getting big, it looks like I have 5 pullets and 2 cockerels, so far. The Nankins are fast becoming my favorites though. They are a cute and comical bunch. The older welsummers have settled into their new pen and coop and are loving the space and all the grass. I'm putting the 2 "babies" out tonight after my husband brings me an extension cord for their light. The Icelandics are growing like weeds, I can't wait til I can put them outside, they are a stinky, messy little group.
