The Moonshiner's Chick Chat

I know, I know during autocorrect. It's all good I fixed it for you

lol I always call waterfowl babies catfish. They are so cute for about the first 72 hours. And then they are disgusting until they are outside and fully feathered. And you could argue they remain disgusting for life.

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.

Good lord. That's insane! Lucky it didn't start a fire. What temp does styrofoam deform at? lol

I like how you said "20, plus 7 silkies" cause silkies can't really be counted as chickens, right?

 

[The Moonshiner]

I ended up with 50 so not as bad as I was afraid it was gonna be.
Now I got to see how next week goes. I haven't candle them or anything yet.

Nope
Lower right is a pullet. There's another pullet too but out of picture

Alot of boys isn't bad in the gamefowl world. Preferred actually
