Have any of you in the Eastern part had flooding?
Fortunately not near me in Edgecombe Co. We did have flood watches this past week. When they issue those watches I always watch the river level. We have a large creek across the road that is usually a gentle stream. Too much rain it comes up fast and looks like rushing rapids. In the past it has done much damage in my area. People including myself get nervous.

I pray for those who lost family, friends and property. It is truely an awful experience.
 
I don't even try to guess with the chipmunk chicks until they crow🤣

They do bounce don't they! She's making them practice. It's hot outside and she says these stinkers can roost!

Have any of you in the Eastern part had flooding? I have not seen it on my local channel but saw something on a Charlotte(?) channel that there was flooding toward Chapel Hill, Pitt County, etc. My goodness!
No flooding here. The Tar River looked a bit high about a week ago.

Where I live when we get a lot of rain (6" +) it gets squishy, puddly, and the ditches are full, but it drains quickly.

I scored another chain bucket at the hardware store, set up a brooder for Rahab. I hope she can use it...

I'm hoping I didn't goof up enough to prevent a hatch. Remember I placed 8 eggs in the incubator? I should have reviewed the instructions. The incubator's been at 80% humidity since Day 1. I discovered it on Day 13, when I moved 2 eggs to Rahab's box. Everything I read here said BAD. I removed the water bottle and opened the vent at that time. If I messed up so I lose another brood then I have no one to blame but myself.

Maybe life will find a way despite my stupidity.

I'll remove the incubator's turner tomorrow, tentative hatch day is Thursday.
