Mahonri's 3rd Annual, BYC Easter Hatch-a-long! - Page 727

Here are a couple of pics of a mini bator that I made for my nephew in Washington for an Easter present. I got the Styrofoam box from the local fish store it was used to ship live fish. My girls decorated it for him from pics cut out of hatchery magazines.  I hope you all like it. " Just doing my part to spread the fever to the younger generation!"

Okay, a last minute entry to the Chicken Design contest.  She said she'd still take them for the good of the community since the poll wasn't created yet.

Once again, a piece of foam pipe insulation.  It takes two snips of a pair of scissors (the length you want and to open the side), two pieces of papertowel to plug the ends, three pieces of tape and your eggs are ready to pack for shipment.  The foam costs about $2 for a six foot length.  All eggs can stand the correct orientation and side by side in the box.  You can add a little filler between the cylinders if they don't fill the box.

It was entirely without any thought and I really was under threat, so as he grabbed my collar, I grabbed his and 'fell' backward, tossing him over me quite a distance. It was entirely reflexive, and it was amazing. I taught my girls how to release grips as soon as they could learn. It's great to give your daughter that amazing ability to defend herself and others, and it's a wonderful way for her self-discipline to have been developed. Fabulous!

Uchido means "the universal way" and incorporates all the different styles.        She is also studying GungFu.    My oldest 5 are also participating.. The older three have earned their Red Black belts.  My daughter is almost 16 and will start dating this summer (maybe) I'm not too worried about her as she could put a joint lock on a boy faster than he could blink.. Hope she doesn't have to hurt anyone.. LOL

Gives a whole new meaning to The Joys Of Parenting 

My kids took Tae Kwon Do and although I don't know what color the belts were, between that and raising goats, I know they have lightening reflexes, bodies of steel and they can catch an escaping goat in mid air and fling her back over the fence before she can say Baaaa  I have no doubt, any boy (or hawk) who thinks he's going to get away with something will be in for a wicked surprise 

Today has been good and bad, but I'll survive it. I'm going to candle the eggs tonight and check on the broodies' eggs.
