EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[meltel]

Hi everybody. Miss you all No greenhouse for me now-any money we have is going toward my treatments and insurance. Same stuff different day with fighting workmans comp on every little thing. Today is a good day so thought I would jump on and say hi. Chickens are good-Bill is an angel for putting up with me and helping with them. Thank you @kwhites634 for the building info Maybe Bill can rig something for summer-growing stuff in the sunroom until then. Please feel free to drop me a message and let me know what's going on with all of you. Its so hard to type or even read sometimes and other than feeding the birds. I am in bed a lot. Hope all is well with everybody and their critters Much Love Mel

MEL! I can't believe you're still fighting the same old insurance nonsense.

I helped Duckling make butter today. It’s not the hard mass with butter milk it’s supposed to be, but it tastes good, and Duckling was in heaven eating some.

I rewatched the video. I didn’t do anything wrong. Next time we’re making it in a bowl with a mixer.

Did you find some good ones? I no longer have any adults, I sold the last hen and the roo found himself a nice home. Their kids are looking nice though. There are 4 nicely colored pullets and about 7 cockerels. I hope they do better than their parents. If not, I'm done with Marans for good.

I hatched out a bunch of English orpingtons a couple weeks ago. I had a group of blue and 1 lavender and a second group of chocolate with one surprise color. It's chocolate something? If anyone has any clue, please share because I'm clueless lol.

nice Good Luck!! I love orphs but I swore I would stick with what I got and no more now that I sold most I think my count is 11 chickens now

I have to sell all of mine cause I am moving! I don't know what the heck I was thinking hatching these eggs! Just can't resist hatching when I have a broody hen.
