INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[daxigait]

I don't know if they're weaned or not? They were at the auction because their nanny was attacked by a dog. So I guess not weaned.

My brain flew into panic mode and I forgot everything I've tried to learn. I swear I've been reading for a month, at least. I was just expecting to buy with more info.

you can likely bucket feed milk to them at that size.

No that's fine. They probably were doing that before you got them.

Quote: interesting, have more details? Speed: 6-RPM. considering they normally have a 1 RPM High Torque, I cant find much info on the motors themselves, I am lost on the timer motor control. Please let me know what you come up with, I want to get another cooler cabinet out but I guess its time to add some auto turning instead of the semi I do now.

Just put two duck eggs in the incubator this morning. First time experimental hatch!

@Meaghan First time with ducks? what breed? how exciting!!

Quote: agree!

that is one reason for my llama. They are not fond of any form of canine.

Now the wait for the concrete to cure before I start framing. This 10x50 will be indoor/outdoor runs, automatic doors and climate controlled. Also there will be stairs and storage to the top. The runs will be 7' deep 6' wide and a 3' common walkway with 2 exterior doors, one in the end and one in the side.

Could anyone point me in a good direction to read about chicken color genetics?

there is quite a bit of info in the genetics section here https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/incubating-w-friends-helpful-notes-links-informational-post-links

Oy vey.... I just checked on the chickens, and Jace had gotten herself so dirty! She scratched bedding, FRESH poop, and feed into her water bowl, then dumped that mash into the rest of her bedding, and took a dust bath in the shavings.... Now she is soaked and filthy!

So.... What's the best way to bathe a dirty chicken? just plain water?

oh no!!
