Quackers, that is a better rate than I got with my cayugas. I understand your nightmare... Am currently still living in it myself. Fingers crossed our goosies hatch more smoothly.
My menagerie includes 5 horses, 3 dogs, 4 cats, 32 geese (dewlap toulouse & african) and 10 ducks (muscovy, ancona, cayuga & silver appleyard).

GQ- 3 more cracked eggs!?  Wow.  

 

 

ETA:  And I had somehow missed all those pics of the Anconas.  Why does BYC do that to me?  (eye roll)

People just don't do barbeque here like they do over your way. Honestly, I am totally thrilled about all this sauce.

 

Not particularly relevent to sauce, or hatching, but here is a photo of me and hubby taken a couple of weeks ago. We went segwaying around the lake in the middle of Canberra. Please note my thread-appropriate t-shirt.

Sauce is something we have a lot of, no doubt. 

 

Wow...I would so love to visit your country!

SM, those Anconas are so cute. Look at the one with the stripey feet. Gorgeous.

 

QJ, no worries about the plastic bags - it's actually really helpful to have them because we use them in our kitchen garbage bin (aka "trash can"). Our town has recently banned plastic bags so I now have to buy them....but not for a while now that you have sent me a healthy supply!! big_smile.png

Tomorrow will be day three with little sleep and another work day to boot. I can't seem to time these things right.

Hey.. Who on here has goats? My friend brought me some goats milk and I am in LOVE with it.  It was absolutely amazing. We chugged 2 glasses down. (me and the 8 yr old.)

 

I'm making butter from the cream right now in a mason jar.

 

 

I need to buy a goat.

Post office went to town on those poor eggies. And I should have my black swedish eggs arriving Thursday. I'm scared. ep.gif

 

I'm thinking I'll ask the boss if I can have my hatching eggs delivered to the farm from now on. If the post office holds them, they'll be close so I can pick them up, but if not, our postal guy knows we're a farm and might have some respect.
