QJ, hope your chicks are ok!

I have 4 standard and 2 large dewlap africans. They are in their own bator, just beginning the draw down of air cell. They seem about 2 days behind the anconas... So they should hatch Thursday, if all goes well.
My menagerie includes 5 horses, 3 dogs, 4 cats, 32 geese (dewlap toulouse & african) and 10 ducks (muscovy, ancona, cayuga & silver appleyard).

Why don't sheep shrink in the rain?

 

 

Why is there brail at drive up ATMs??

 

 

Why are their floatation devices instead of parachutes in my airplain seat???

 

 

If a tree falls in the woods and my husband doesn't hear it, am I still wrong????

Keep me posted on that.   I'm going to watch your hatch and try to learn from it!  I only have 2 weeks left on mine.

Happy Hatching to all
