The Moonshiner's Chick Chat

[The Moonshiner]

Lost track of the threads for a little while there but Figured I would offer now that Moony is shipping eggs, if anyone needs some help with usps tracking or how to deal with your local post office send me a PM. I work for our esteemed postal service and can check on the status for folks and interpret the tracking info.

This is very kind of you. Good people are awesome.

So I figured for sure nothing was gonna happen with my motors order today so I checked and sure enough...... nothing.
That got me thinking, why do I not have a back up one in house?
Then it dawned on me.... I do have one, it's in the garage. I had completely forgot I had a damaged turner but the motor was good.
Sweet. Got the motor off and it indeed works.
That'll get me set up for the eggs I set tonight and then I'll hopefully have my order here before next Sunday for that set. Oh and I'll still have a back up for next time.

Eggtopsies are up on my thread.
But here's some happy pics too.

Cochin mama and her 5 adopted chicks.
1) The one with the back injury was in the same clutch as the two below with the Phoenix and Jezebel, but the Phoenix just kept stepping on him. He's got super long extra toes too. Like clownshoe proportions.
2) The blue and black barred ones are from the Barred Cochin that is on the cull list now. The blue is actually the cochin mama's chick and @Overo Mare and @WallyG74 would be jealous of her toes
3) The other two are from Bunny's nest. Pretty sure the back one with the brown head is pure araucana

Brahma Mama and her chick (pretty sure Wes is the dad). Johnny Law has taken them as his family though.

Phoenix amd Jezebel co-nested. They had 3 chicks hatch, including the one I gave to the cochin mama. Thinking the one with the Phoenix is part Russian Orloff

Holy $#!+…

69°

Naw, just kidding…It would have had to be at least 212°F/100°C to melt plastic.

What temp did it go up to? Geez!

🌡 after 120°
