Who was it that was asking about broody hens? Was it Dooner? Sure, now that I found this, he probably won't be reading on this thread to see this link.  roll.png

Welcome To Winter All...  Holy frozen waterers... Went to my grandaughters 6 year Birthday Party today. They sure grow up fast.

 

Enjoying a huge bowl of 7 layer salad...that's a meal by itself, however I also have a big venzun sausage sandwich with onions and mustard....delish if I must say so. Suzie made a 9x13 glass pan of 7 layer for the party...it came home empty...folks loved the bacon in it... glad she left one pan here for me. droolin.gif

 

I'm thinkin it was in fact dooner CC. Hope it all works out well.

 

Amyable....What's up with that?  Hope you make the bash again.

 

Later.... bigz

Hey all--quick update.  Just candled the eggs. 3 went out and 5 are developing.  We even saw movement in a few!  I think I tossed 3 or 4 from my breedings too.  Not fertile...now how in the world can that be!  I certainly dont have any fat roosters around here!

Well my friend from Thorpe just called and she is having dinner down at Aztalan so I am going to go out there and see her.  Havent seen her is many years...I bought my first horse with her! (and took over her 4H club!)

My call duck eggs are developing. Not surprising since the drakes have been very busy. Now I just have to get the little suckers to hatch. I lose a lot in the last week sad.png
someone brought a HUGE egg into work today. His special black hen layed it. He had it weighed at the post office and it weighed out at more than what he found the world record to be. He's getting the paperwork to try to get it in the record books.

Cool!  How much did it weigh?  Was it a chicken egg?  Good luck on the call hatches...what did you lose a lot of in the last week? Eggs?  My calls are not laying yet but I did see them mating today for the first time...unfortunately I have two males that were supposed to be girls!  Doesnt that just figure?!

Good night...time to get the coveralls on again...Terri O

I lost my Dad on Feb.2  what can I say. He was a wonderful Dad, Husband, Brother, Son and Friend. Everyone who knew him felt that way. He was 90 years old and ready to return to Gods arms. 

 I thought that deaths always came in threes. Well Dad was number 4 for DH and myself.

 

I miss talking to all of you and read a few days of posts. It sounds like your doing well and trying to keep warm. What a winter ??

I can't wait for spring. I now have DH convinced that we need a Roo. Maybe this spring. If there are a lot of extras maybe one will find his way here.

Stay warm and hugs to all of you.

The duckings die in the egg. It's real depressing. Usually the ones that do hatch do so because I help them. I think it may have to do with their short neck and small bill. They don't seem to have the stamina bigger ducklings have either.
