    WHO HERE BELIEVES IN ANTELOPES?

    Wild prairie goats. Aka pronghorn antelope. They're like deer mice around here - everywhere.

    Venting -- Postal Service lost my chicks

    I think they are supposed to scan items OUT as well as in. Which means that the driver picking items up scans them accepted, when they are put on the truck. If they can't provide an out-bound scan... then the Distrubution Center screwed up. Unless they've changed that policy.

    Ewww, that’s GROSS!!!

    Heh... I don't find any of those gross, except the septic water and chicken feces.... If it fits in the chicken's throat, it's probably going down it.

    My chicken DECOR. No voice dictation here.

    All those metal figurines just remind me of when my lab encountered a duck for the first time.... It was a metal duck, like those chickens. And he ran into the beak nose-first, running around a corner. Let out a YIIIIIIPPEE!!!! and has been afraid of ducks every since. Mean thing pecked him...

    Double Yolker Day 17 And Alive!

    Yep. Mostly I fixed myself a couple eggs because I wanted to know if they were fertile or not. They're not, unfortunately.

    Double Yolker Day 17 And Alive!

    I only have one that's laying so far. Got her fifth egg today - five eggs in seven days. I plan on giving them away to the neighbors.

    Double Yolker Day 17 And Alive!

    I was off having lunch. Made myself try fresh eggs for the first time, from my EE that's laying. Have to say, they are a bit better than store eggs, but I still don't like eggs. However, I was astonished at how thick and strong her shells are.

    Double Yolker Day 17 And Alive!

    I don't believe so. A safety hole was made, both were alive and cheeping at last word, but day 21 is just starting.

    Was 'Apollo and Artemio' supposed to be 'Apollo and Artemis'?

    Does anyone else strongly prefer Mexicoke to regular coke?

    High fructose corn syrup is disgusting in all its forms. It always leaves a sour taste in the back of my mouth, like I drank something rancid. I don't like soda, but if I end up drinking it, I'll only drink cane sugar soda. Cane sugar is bad for you... but not as bad as high fructose corn syrup.

    I've just been figuring it meant Designated Husband.

    Double Yolker Day 17 And Alive!

    Better safe than sorry, when you're just putting a safety hole in. I certainly would not peel any shell back yet, if it were my choice! Just make sure they can breathe.

    Double Yolker Day 17 And Alive!

    I use the tip of a sterilized pocket knife, and just lightly tap at one spot until enough shell chips away to pin-hole the membrane. About 1/16th of an inch hole. This is day 20, right? It may just be too soon for them. Have all the others pipped, and have any hatched?

    Double Yolker Day 17 And Alive!

    My personal choice would be to put a tiny safety hole at the very top of the air pocket, and make sure it's well oiled.

    Favorelle roo or pullet?

    EE's can pretty much be any color. A lot are red with black in their hackles - I've got a Cochin/EE cross chick that looks like that, right now. My other EE's are sort of a lavender or blue dirty Colombian, a blue with orange leakage, and a pale lavender splash - so far I only know what color...
