I did that for my Halloween hatch and my Thanksgiving hatch. Wont be happening again. That was crazy.

Can't have basements down here. They would be full of water! 🥰

LOL, I started the three new out door brooders today! Told my brother I don't need to anchor them because I'm taking them down after all the babies are gone this year. He told me no you wont stop hatching and having them just anchor later but do it. LOL.

I like this! Working getting mine set up with three brooders in the garage! I'll have to stop hatching stuff after this last batch due early June tho. Its gotten so hot I don't think I can brood in the garage for more than two weeks now.

Ill see about getting some of those ordered. I'll not be letting them leave the property alive anymore. They have started attacking the cats as well.

I had two live traps set last night. Caught one coon but the other ate three birds to the bones.

Mine too. Lost more chickens this week than in the last three years to coons.

I finally got some lavender with out feather shredder.

The colors not bad. For me it's the mottleing I wouldn't want. :lau That soot gray look is kinda pretty, I just dislike mottleing. Not sure why because I like the spangling on the Spitzhaubens.

Or they don't have enough eggs to fill or send extra and they send a few of some other color in the same breed. I purchased some blue columbian brahma eggs and the lady didn't have enough to send extra so she sent some dark brahma eggs along with the Blue columbian ones.

That's an interesting color.... and shredder gene in full effect.

I do. Generally not cooked I just throw them at the egg breaking pan in the coop that gets treats.

Every time I set eggs right now we get a terrible storm and lose power for 4 to 6 hours.

There was a few livestock farm auctions we went to here when I was in high school back in the 1990's. We mostly have cattle auctions now.

It's auction fever. That's why they out bid what a new one would cost.

A long time ago I had a dog catch one and play toss with it by flinging it in the air by it's wing and catching it again. He was only able to catch it because it was a young adult that got too damp in the misty fog we had that morning and couldn't take off. The feet are much worse than the beak...

Then they would work. Thats what I did this fall / winter. We have no heater but space heaters and I brooded the Halloween hatch and Thanksgiving Hatch in the house with the plates. No problems at all. House stayed in the 65 to 68 range when we where in the 30s and 40s.

I love them but if you are brooding in the north or in an actual winter you would need to combined them with a normal heat lamp.

I'm gonna share my egg find today! Also one of my Sebrights was sticking her head under the door wanting in the garage where I'm brooding the hatched chicks. She went all the way back to that upright toolbox. This is what I found. 🤣 I also have galvanized trash can up next to the at the...
