Tis Time for a March 2020 Hatch-a-long!

Yes!!! I’ve started using it instead of ND.

When I move geese are the FIRST THING I’m hatching. ❤❤

Fingers crossed!!!

What did you get?!?!?

Bantams from the TSC bin

Do you have antibiotics on hand for infection?

Yes, he got amoxicillin. I forget the dose now. I had it on hand from when I was supposed to be on it - long story short, I apparently go into anaphylactic shock when I take amoxicillin. He was on it and aspirin for 7 days after the attack.

That is the most exciting box of peeps!!! Are they all bantams?!

I know how it feels...

I'll cry with you if you want

We are heading to tractor supply soon. Hoping the bantam bin is full because I promised my roo that's sick that when he gets better he will have bantams just like him. Told him he can't die yet till he has a HeiHei Army. I think Squatch manned up to him and the results aren't good. I don't blame Squatch, he's just doing what roosters do. Needless to say... HeiHei will have his own area with his own kind (bantams) I'll never mix bantams and standard chickens ever again

Surprisingly, my bantam roos are the jerks. My standard roos are terrified of them! So are the hens. I’m debating making a coop to separate the banties from the standards just because the banties are always so crotchety.

Hey sounds like my experience with antibiotics! I always have extra because after a week my body reacts with badness ughhh

I hope he recovers

I’m debating RK vs TSC right now. Just getting out of class. RK is further but has the most recent shipment, plus I like their variety more compared to TSCs. And RK just seems so much cleaner and their babies are always healthier...

We were talking in here about not going anywhere during hatching season. My husband was getting the wild hair to take a trip to HI. He saw a show where they were talking to a Dr. and he said if you already bought your tickets go, if you have not you should consider not going. They say the news has pumped up the virus just to freak people out, My brother-in-law is in HI right now, and he said if he had not already paid for it he would not have gone, he said the grocery store in Maui, they bought the very last disinfectant handy wipe.

These just came in today... The manager keeps the store really clean and the bins are always really clean too This is usually the only tractor supply that we buy stuff from.

All of the hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes are all out of stock where I live! We couldn't even find antibacterial hand soap the other day and when we did we stocked up because we will never find it again!
