Afternoon.... (Just barely)

TO - That Phoenix Rooster is looker! I'd like to have a good lookin' Rooster like that running around someday.

Cindy - Sorry bout your Chicken - Sounds like you did everything you could. Sucks not knowing why though...

Had a flock of 38 Wild Turkeys running around the Chicken Run and then they spotted the bird feeders on the back deck... What a MESS! My dog got a hold of one of the med sized hen. By the time I got there, the Turkey was pretty much done dancing. Can't let that meat go to waste... (Breast, Thighs and legs) - Soaking in a salt water/brown sugar brine as we speak.

Guess what I'm having for supper?

I MIGHT (Keep your fingers crossed) be getting a deal on ALL the Mink Cages I want. A friend's neighbor lives on an old Mink Farm and want's to get rid of a big pile of them. I have not seen what condition they are in yet. I'm thinking they might be perfect to start raising some Quail.
I'll definitely let you guys know if these things are worth anything... If there is enough, I have no problems with "sharing."

Dreary, kinda "icky" day out there today - little bit of wind but at least it's well above zero.

Laters ....

Jeepers Creepers! I go to Great Wolf Lodge for one night and I have 3 pages to read!

In all of this posts there was not a response to my question: what is the best way to maintain the higher humidity during lock down? Does a wet sponge work best, or is there something else that works? I would love to hear from you super chicken folks. Where's the Chicken Knowledge Fairy when I need him?!

BigFam - This is where I got most of my info re/ incubating eggs... I hope the link works.


https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/incubation-cheat-sheet

If it doesn't let me know and I'll copy and paste/ email it to you. It goes from start to finish using an LG-type incubator. It goes into detail re/ the lock-down phase using paper towels.

GOOD LUCK!

3 pages THATs nothing! lol
I put a wet wash cloth UNDER my wire floor in my 'bator. I add water on to it with a fish tank hose (run through on of the holes in the 'bator) and a big suringe

I did find out that you can INDEED click on that little word bubble and green arrow and it will take you to the last post that you read.

TO to get a pic from your online BYC album, highlight the picture and right click on it click on copy, then click in your reply box and right click and paste. my suggestion is to open a new tab to your BYC pic album. hope this makes sense.
off to my moms house for supper and a movie and to cut quilt squares for a sofa quilt I'm making. thats what us church ladies are making, they decided to meet like once a month?!

I can't take that long to make something! it's going to drive me CRAZY! I hate dragging something on for ever and ever. besides even if I take my time, and only work on it on Sunday's, I'm still gonna have it done by the next class/get together.

oh well, she's gonna show some people who to knit too, so I'll just be able to sit in that class too. lol MOMMY time!

DrH you are so wise!

Raim haven't stayed alive this long by doing something REALLY stupid! Wait guess I've been real lucky too. Bf4 sorry I forget! This bator session I taped the seam with duct tape per Jim's instructions and it really helped maintain the levels needed. Half time report Joe Flaco looks like Frank Zappa with his helmit on and one of the village people with it off. That is all.
