hatching day 2020h

2020h

Hatch started.

Only four outta five hatched. Number four and five stopped progressing, Number five passed at piping. And number four i assisted slightly by making the pip hole larger.. as for the passed chciken, I opened her up and nothing was abnormal. Buried her in her egg. 💔

hatch 20h first one from Kenny.

These eggs are due Thursday.  I do not normally keep eggs that weigh under 55g. But it has been hot, and my shells have not been as thick or formed solidly as I hoped. Good news is that I was able to get eggs from a variety of hens. 

Not my ducks, but ducks none the less.

before the tropical storm. replacing a roof.

This roof seen better days, the squirrels started to nibble and scratch there way in. Soggy and in pieces it was time to replace. The tropical storm was headed this way. Drive begining to fall. There was no way it would last 40+ winds.

Easy to demo, lots of bag and clean up. 

Got everything hammered out quickly. The i beam was still good but we decided not to use it and kept the roof flat this go around. 

I was out there till 9. Hardly could see but had to get the roof screwed down.. Below is a pic of the birds after the roof is in.

We added a layer of hardware cloth to deter the squirrels in the future. 

The tropic storm came and it was nasty. Ripped up several roads, pavement just floating away. There's still roads closed weeks later.

Set newest batch of eggs from kenny. 5\7 are fertilized.

Looks to be two more hurricanes developing in the Atlantic. Stay safe.
