incubator and eggs ... daily update

[Two_Sheds]

Ah, look at them little quails in Lynda's eBay link ... oops, I just hit Buy Now, how did that happen

[lynda66]

i had a look at building my own vicky, and you can get all the stuff, but when you figure in the postage for the bits, the ones on the link actually work out as cheap, if not cheaper, and it also has a fan..... which is better as it keeps the temperature more constant

Oh no, can we stand the suspense of more threads like this one

[lynda66]

LMAO twosheds ...... i knew someone would do that ...... wonders how you're gonna get a guinea pig suit on a chicken ?? ........ funnily enough i accidentally did that when i bought my incubator, and erm eggs and erm more eggs i was gonna get one off that guy, but he didn't have any on when i was accidentally looking at the one i got ..... and mine was pretty cheap anyway

When I first got here I had never even thought about chickens, just wanted some help with my veg. Now....... oh heavens

[lynda66]

well you could always hide an incubator under the bed ....... just in case

Dont think Pracer really suits and as "P" is no longer a theme I have been a thinking;

Here is what I have narrowed it down to;

Dion - from the Greek God of wine, intoxication and partying

Yule - the winter festival

Robin - 'Robin Red Breast', the Christmas bird

Jasper - one of the three kings who visited the baby Jesus in the bible

Neva - 'Snow'

Am stuck so any preferances to make my decision any easier?



Hope Mummy Lynda did get some sleep last night!

Jasper - one of the three kings who visited the baby Jesus in the bible

I didn't know that! Jasper is also a reddish brown gemstone. Here is my Jasper (can't get his eggs in the propagator though, he is a boy bird)

if you can keep the temperature at 37.5 degrees, cant see why not

I think I would go for Neva its unusual

I like Jasper. I think if ever I get any boy chickens I might call one Jasper. Oh no, can't do that, all the one's I'm going to eat can't have names!!

[lynda66]

i quite like jasper too

anyway here is a video wot i just took of all 6 .... uploading direct to you tube seems to work much better than uploading ready made videos i'll keep trying with the hatching ones ..... but this should keep you going

I've got the coop and riun that will be for when they are big enough to go in with the big girls.
A freecycled rabbit hutch and attached run would be perfect for when they are little. Get quite a few offered on my group.
