5 new ducks hatched out of the incubator! #homesteading #permies

I have heard that 8 days is the recommended maximum for saving them for incubating. That is stored at room temperature. I'm sure you can go longer but the hatch rate starts to drop off.

Reminder to head outside after the zapathon. Reconnect and recharge. #zapathon

Another batch of sourdough banana bread hot out of the oven. This is by far my favorite banana bread. #baking #sourdough

Welcome, that a top bar hive in the photo?

That is what I here. Now I need to get a place ready for them. Luckily they incubate longer than chickens 😅

I've seen mods of those little kid play cars where they replace the motor with an electric drill. The instructions specifically state to leave the drill in the lower slower gear because high is way too fast 😂

Another 15 eggs into the incubator. This time ducks! A friend gave me the eggs. Their age is unknown, but hopefully most are still viable.

Thanks for sharing

The chicks have hatched! 16 new chickens to add to the layer flock. #permies

Chicks just hatched out of the incubator. 16 of 19, 84%! The first time I tried incubating eggs it was around 40%.

Correction. This was the main quake.

Felt it. Pretty rare around these parts.

Years ago I had an idea for a sci fi novel where a corporation was secretly deploying solar panels into space. So much so that it started to block out the sun. The central story arc revolved around the protagonist uncovering the conspiracy.

Now truth is stranger than fiction.

Sounds like a worthy project. Following.

Looks like the old Blackberry phones. I want one.

First attempt at the Christmas tree sourdough, sort of worked. #breadstr

In full transparency I run Tailscale in parallel with Umbrel(ie outside of Umbrel but on the same machine) so I can have access to the command line functions.

You can do https with Tailscale on Umbrel.

I have been running nostr:npub1aghreq2dpz3h3799hrawev5gf5zc2kt4ch9ykhp9utt0jd3gdu2qtlmhct for a couple years now and it has dramatically changed my digital landscape. Not only does it make it easy to run your own bitcoin node, but I've also slowly been dropping centralized apps with self-hosted solutions. Even though I don't run everything through Umbrel OS it has opened me to the world of self-hosting.
