The Front Porch Swing

Date sort Score sort
A friend of ours has a crazy story about how his dad used him as cougar bate. He's a native american and his (foster/step) dad took him trapping. One morning, it had just snowed, they were out and his dad told him to walk ahead of him , and to just keep walking (he was bout 6 years old). He was confused but did it. Suddenly the snow exploded in front of him and he heard a bang from his dad's gun and this massive cougar landed about 5 feet in front of him dead.

Idiot people.

What's bad is I am going out of town to see my dad this week or the next and will be gone for two days and nights. That will be the true test of faith, which I'm used to doing by now. Whenever you free range at all times and travel away from home frequently, there has to be a measure of faith in God that He will be watching over things when you cannot. He hasn't let me down yet, so I'm going to travel without any sense of worry over these little babies.

It will be what it will be!

I've hit 100* on the egg surface!

Turned it down a notch......will wait and see if that will hold it there or if I'll have to turn it up due to the nighttime temps cooling the windowsill. Windowsill temps are 64 and will be cooling soon. I turned the warm side of the eggs to the bottom of the nest so they could warm on all sides, though I know that wouldn't happen in a real setting.

I'm wondering about something. When brooding on a nest out in the bush and the temps drop at night or even on a cool day, the bottom of those eggs are bound to cool off while the tops would be very warm next to mama. I wonder if the developing chicks migrate inside the shell to the warm side? An outside nest will always have a cooler side and I know a broody doesn't turn eggs that often, so how then does the egg itself stay a uniform temp throughout when one side is cool and one side hot?

Things to ponder.....
