We're gonna create some WEIRD chickens...

Oh man this is amazing, here we are on January 2nd. Happy New Year, by the way, this weather is amazing. I just hope we don't pay it in February in March with cold weather, so Eli helped me this morning by letting our

chickens

out. and turkeys early will do it maybe once a week that's pretty awe

some

but I still have to let email make you feel like I'm a fool. I can't be like this, you may feel that maybe you want this to give me your attention. I want to see what you do. Are you doing a good job?

You didn't die. How did you get Musil? I didn't commit suicide until now, you win, you are so fast, oh you. You're going to fool him, uh, you chose this morning, uh, yeah, what did you do? You let the

chickens

out. I took out the fence now. I let the turkeys out. I made the kittens. I like to go out and that's all. This is ours. original chicken tractor just a little 4 by 8 deal here is a good space for the chicks not very good space for our adult chickens which these guys are almost 2 months old now and they really need to get into a bigger space so they all Depends that we finish the mobile chicken coop and move the main flock, you know?

I think I could free up

some

space here if I moved the sun from the lavender orchids and kept the guineas and roosters here that would buy. Us another week or two. I think definitely a rooster. I think we got some live endorphins and cocks in there. I usually don't like to merge them with the flock during the day, but we'll bring five of them. I don't think it should be a big deal, so Becky helped me move the chicken coop yesterday. She was over here and it was getting very muddy and gross, especially in her coop, after it rained for a couple of days we moved them to a grassy area. here but we didn't send the message to Eli, he actually opened the fence between them here today thinking we wanted them in both places, now we have to get all the chickens back there so we can leave this. resting place which is nice, okay and number two and number lavender for Turkey and I like them, eh, there's a lot more space, just five guineas and three chickens in there, okay, I thought we had three roosters here, let's see what you do.

The guys think they live in Benton or head number five would say she's a female. I think that tail look at that tail. It looks like a panduru rooster. Let me know in the comments by watching you. I'm trying to get your attention. Can? come closer I don't know how to play this your neg okay so today our breeding program for this year started and we thought we'd have a little fun and make some ayam cemani mixes of course this is our time for monty rooster Johnny . Cash, so this is Johnny Cash as a snowflake, it's silky, it's an article: Monty Rooster, everything in this flock is going to be a combination of one of these two, so we thought we'd have a little fun this year and maybe make some mixes with this type. get some time and money, chicks, but also get some combinations and we think that would be great, but to do that we need some eggs and we need an incubator and I've got just what we've got.

Well, we got this incubator. I think they called the company Verado and they are in Italy. Okay, Barato sent us their Lumia 16 model. Let's open this and check it out. Tord. I actually use this incubator in your car. In fact, it has a car plug. It's okay, it looks very good. bring it inside and turn it on to see if it works well. We got the incubator on the cheap Lumia 16 and it looks like it has enough to hold 16 chicken eggs, of course, and they have a smaller version that also holds 8 you. I can take out the egg turners, but in the last few days when they're starting to hatch, you just place them on this flat surface and then it says fill a compartment during normal incubation, you have a couple of little trays here on the side.

I'm going to try to fill it here from the outside, okay, so I have one side full of water. I'm going to leave the other side open and there's nothing in the middle. Okay, so I'm going to look for a little sensor to I can make sure that I'm keeping them at the right humidity, so I have these little temperature and humidity sensors that the incubator keeps in degrees Celsius and the only thing you can do with the settings is check the desired temperature at which they have it. thirty-seven point seven degrees Celsius and then what is its current temperature.

I'll come back and check it out some days and nights of diving. The pair of these guys is what you need. We have a female in the standard color and we have a male in mandarin white so we are in the groove so we read your name suggestions and picked a few we liked so Becky your bird we had a hard time getting where finished. calling it, we'll call it airmail, we thought it was very suitable for this, it's a great suggestion, it's a male mandarin duck, so it's male and it came to us through the air, and this girl here we had some coconut suggestions and chocolate. and that's why we chose Coco for her so here we have airmail and Coco must be a good idea to mark her legs and then we can find out who they were paired with and then name each pair accordingly and Coco's notes get a grain of cocoa coco coco and being a fedex airmail or email and this is how we will place some of the pairs in the pond area and some in the aviary we will build, these guys are made for life, as long as they are with their partner they will stay together wherever you are even down I'll keep searching from my heart you can say oh that's in mine I'll keep holding my head up even the sky is falling oh man we forgot a couple pieces of mail were stuck under some of our bills , we totally miss you so if you sent us some things and you hadn't seen them, hopefully this one will be yours and then we have the giveaway winners to announce from Baker Creek, so Ashley and Jesse had sent us some custom keychains here are Uriah and Bamboo and the reason they are sent to us is to raise money for hope orphan organizations.

We think this is a really cool foundation, definitely check out the link, maybe you can find a way to help with that Thanks Bailey from Texas for sending the Christmas card this is from sage and a photo of a shipment from Australia thanks Tonya from Australia thanks for sending us a cool little plant template I hope some of you are getting Your catalogs for the McMurray hatchery go in here. We have six photos of our birds, so the first person to send us all six tags us in a Facebook or Instagram purchase order. The first person to find all six will receive a free t-shirt.

The White House on the Hill and lastly we have the drawing for Baker Creed winners from the last video who left a comment about something they want to grow. We are Corina McKittrick. We wanted to grow tomatoes. Vanessa Joan. Asparagus. Peas or broccoli. We can pick them up. any of those Becky and Ruth hugged a bow wanted to grow Ishtar cukes like those like cukes are like a little bit like cucumbers like pointy but congratulations to you three winners. I'll put my email in the description, be sure to send me a message. We will receive your contact information and give you your $25 Baker Creek gift card and the entire seed catalog.

Congratulations to everyone, you helped us collect eggs. What is happening there? I'm Tremonti sitting in the nest and she has no eggs. underneath, oh, we've got some eggs here, let's grab them, your eyes, okay, we've got the temperature and humidity right where we want to go up another degree, but the humidity is perfect, so let's fill this incubator with some eggs. and start first of all. I'm impressed you mentioned how quiet this was. We haven't had too many incubators that are this quiet. That's pretty impressive. Well, we'll start with some big eggs, some brown ones. What do you think they are? from Becky, they could be our App Store for the Rhode Island ring.

We have one that is a little brown but with a purplish tone. I'm pretty sure it comes from a barred rock. Black copper moran. This one definitely looks like Black Copper Moran. This is a bit. speckled could be good, summer could be our splash Moran I'm not sure we have any blue and green eggs here anymore, who do you think they are from the Americans and our Easter eggs? These would look great mixed with this I'm Chu Monte. Here we have a couple of these, they should be from our Ayam Shema knees and I think they will all be mixed with soaks and this one is a little bit lighter and a little bit bigger and I think it comes from our red with blue laces.

Wyandots silver Wyandots almost has a full house, got a room to put a couple more in tonight or tomorrow. One of the things we read about this incubator in the brochure is that she turns it randomly at different times and on different things, so she's actually trying. to simulate what the egg would do under a hand, okay guys ready to hatch some eggs, yeah how long does it take Eli 1 to 1, that's right, 21 days, okay, we'll see you in three weeks, Take it easy, yeah, him getting the kitten are you getting the kitten?
