    Question on laying -

    Do the peahens just suddenly stop all at once from laying? Neither one of mine laid anything yesterday -- they just didn't even seem interested in the boys or their nest. I thought maybe when the time came, they would sort of taper off.

    Would the Brinsea Octagon incubator work OK for peacock eggs? I don't have $500 for a GQF Sportsman & have been unable to find a used one anywhere. Any other recommendations under $300 or so, would be greatly appreciated. Or should I just invest in some cochin hens & let them foster the pea...

    Dehydrating tomatoes questions

    I'm doing an abundance of cherry tomatoes in my dehydrator - I know to halve them but do you put them cut side up or cut side down on the dehydrator trays? Also do you skin cherry tomatoes or leave the skins on?

    Mr Deerman - possible split?

    My Silly Girl

    Vishnu is without a doubt, one of the funniest, most entertaining birds I've ever owned (or rather, been owned by). She is always the first to come see what's going on. I should've named her "Nosy Rosy" instead of Vishnu!
