Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Hope so  ​ When i turned it back on, temp was 72F. They are on day 6. Nothing i can do about it now either ways I guess, but you've encouraged me a bit, thanks 

They should be fine, ralphie left his tray out overnight at a temp like that, cold is way better than hot (for eggs that is)

He left a few on top of the bator, not a whole tray. But yes, he still got a 100% of those eggs.

Seems like I should be ok. I've done ok with outages for 12 hours, so l'm hoping for the best.

Bit of a downer. The cleaner turned off my bator yesterday. I noticed 16 hours later

And being without a cock (

) there's no replacing 'em so I hope it didn't knacker them all

They'll be fine. What happened to your cock ? Did he die or did something eat him ?

Good morning, Pond. We're still here.

I dried your lily pad this morning.

Spook will be back in a few hours to poke around the new pond.
See if he can find anything different.


Spook...in his Sunday Sheet

Good morning, Sir.

Thanks, Sour. The person I sold his carcass to ate him (well, she paid for him either ways). The noise level at 4am was too much. In theory, I'm not supposed to keep chickens here, so I'd rather get shot of him than be forced to get rid of the whole flock. I'll just keep a cockerel from this hatch and set eggs when he's all grown up and doing the needful, then repeat the cycle.

Enjoy poking.

Your Sunday sheet is your best sheet, I'm assuming? (the one with fewer stains

)

So sorry you had to get rid of him. (sorry for your hens, that is...)
