I can answer for Illia since I do the same. Well, you are supposed to stop turning the eggs 3 days before lock-down. Many folks place the eggs in cartons for lock down to help keep the eggs stable and still. If they are all place on the flat bottom of the incubator, as the chicks hatch, they stumble around and roll the eggs all over. By placing them in the carton with the large end/air sac pointed up, the chick that is hatching can focus on the job at hand instead of being tossed all around the incubator by his hatching buddies.

Yep, I do the same thing...out of the turner and into the cartons at lockdown!

They answered it for me.

Who was taking the order for Patriot Farms feed? I wanted to order one bag of the Poultry Special and then have it dropped off at the Auburn location. Do I need to order that separately or does it come on the truck with the rest of this order? I'll do what I need - my gf is really excited about trying a bag for her girls.
TIA!

When is the next shipment? Rainwolf was making the arrangements.

I was going to get a bag or two of grains if Scott is coming back up here.

I cannot make Thursday meetings, thats why I suggested Friday.

I have cherry rock and oyster shell if anyone needs a pound or two, or chick starter. The last meeting I think Hallerlake needed some but Mudbay also has it.

Who wants to or can make a 2/11/2011 Friday 11th at 7 get together? How about Wed Then? Can more people make it Wed the 9th?

I wish that this advice was taught to girls before they get to high school. We seem to learn way to late. While I have to say I still don't think that I have learned it for myself, I did manage to teach my daughter this before she has opted to have children.

This is so true, I found out at 20 years old with a 1 yr old and a new born.
T and I were discussing this very sort of thing while she was here 2 days ago..we think it would be awesome, if HS kids graduated with a SKILL::: a certification for SOME trade !!!!!!
They need to take life skills, how to go to a job interveiw, how to write a resume, how to get and keep a JOB!
They need to be able to attend on the job and classroon training just like "everett college" and Puma Medical Institute" and the other private for profit "colleges".
Our kids need to graduate capable of going to WORK!!!!!!!!
Dental Asssitants, Cafeteria/Institutional Cooking, Certified Nurse Assisting, Veterinarian Tech, Certified Welding, there are many trades !!
Our kids go to school for 12 years and still cannot speak the King's English, cannot write cursive, can barely print proper English and talk like trash from San Fernando Valley, dude.
Most cannot even do their own laundry.
Alot do not have a clue how to wash dishes...(doesn't the dish washer do it ??)

Well duh. Mom and Dad will make it all better if I don't get the car I want, or the apartment. Oh and if I want a very cool career and they are going to get that for me too. And I am going to need at least 100,000 a month or something like that in order to get the perfect handbag. Oh and I don't have to wash dishes, I will just buy new ones.

It's three weeks to hatch, and twice that or more to brood so I've got a little while, but I intend to start working on it tomorrow.
