The kids have 11 more days and I have 1 day after that. I'm thinking about teaching 7-8 grade summer school. It is from 0800-1200 M-F for up to 3 weeks, paid at my hourly rate. I taught it last summer and I kind of enjoyed it. I could really use the money too.
So, how do I catch a red fox...
Deb,

Here are two pictures of the Wellies.
I'll have to find pictures of the ducks. The female is a crested duck (I'm unsure of her breed but she was from Ideal). The drake is a hybrid. I have hatched fawn, blue, and chocolate offspring.
I had 82 eggs go into lock down today. I candled all the rest and put 42 in the turner that were in egg cartons but in the incubator already for 3 day into the turners. I also set 61 more eggs today. If I get my hatching issues figured out I could end up with a lot of chicks (and ducks and...
