Big pain. She wants you to have one. She would rather it go to you then him.

Also! She has to give him the daddy dog alog with a puppy, and a goat, and he already got half our chickens.

Keep it a bit drier, I suppose.  Life is simplier for me.  I usually just candle at 14 days to see if there are embryos or not, and do my best, and leave them in the hands of the universe.  Pekings are pretty hardy, I bet if they've improved it will work out.  There isn't water in the air cells, right?

 

 

 

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????

Im ok. My ducks get me through all the crap lol.

When I was little, me and my dad were REALLY close, but niw, not so much. Not at all actually. He talks about raceist crap all the time, and its really annoying, and mean. And its totally drivin me and my sister away from him, and he doesnt even care to spend time with us at all. He only likes spending time with the little brither, and hes turned my little brother into a complete brat.

What?!  But you guys LOVE daddy dog!  Why does he get him?  That's not very fair.  

 

Are these the goats you just got?

DG-

 

Let me know if you need a few more ducks.  We all love you and want to be sure you get through this.  At least you have us to help you through while you incubate to replace those lost chickens! 

 

Do we need to all send you a couple of eggs to kind of get you re-started?  (Shame I don't have any goat or puppy eggs) ep.gif

I don't know what anyone else does, but for my large eggs (turkey/duck in my case) I add lots of water, get the humidty to 50+, then I let it slowly evap. till humidity is at about 25% before I fill it again.  It seems to be a nice natural balance, and generally my own eggs work out with high hatches.  E-bays are usually 40-60%, but of course the most recent ebay hatch, my quail, only hatched about 13% (4 of 30). I have some from a different seller I just put in, hope they work better.  I havn't tried any from BYC yet, but I have some coming for the easter hatch along.
