➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

I will be in and out (trying to catch up) after today. I start a new job tomorrow, so won't have as much BYC time. (will probably go thru withdrawals for weeks to come). :lau:gig
Don't know if I should be happy or sad. :confused: I am really glad about the new job, but will miss all the great goings on here in real time. :hit

Congrats on the new job! We'll be here for you when you are able to come visit. :hugs
 
On a completely different note.... When I went to bed last night the tv and lights were off, only my son was up playing on his computer. When my hubby and I wake up this morning, him because he has to go to work and me because I help with taking care of the animals, the tv was on. No sound, which is what happens when it's been turned off. It automatically mutes it and you have to push the volume button to get it to come on. I say to my hubby, "Why is the tv on?" He said, "Hmm. I don't know. I didn't turn it on for anything." I say to my son this morning, "If you're going to play the ps4 or whatever, remember to turn off the tv ok?" He looks at me like I'm crazy and tells me he didn't mess with the tv at all after we went to bed. This is at least the 2nd time that it's done this that I can remember. It's freaking me out man!!! :rant:oops::barnie
Anybody else's tv just randomly turn on for no reason? I am trying to figure out of any of my dogs could have somehow done it but I just don't see how. The tv remote was sitting on the kitchen table, facing AWAY from the tv. I'm at a loss. :confused:
Got any sleepwalkers?

Or maybe it’s the girl from The Ring. You’ll get your call soon about “seven days.” :lol:
 
Today's going to be a coffee day! I can already feel it. I got off work at five and cleaned out the coop before sunrise. I got the incubator, temp/hydro meter, and a candler in the mail. I set up the incubator but it smells suspiciously like burning plastic so I'm returning it. I found someone who's selling their incubators (2 diff types) with auto turners, but unless I want to drive way out of my way, I can go pick them up while they are in town today. At 10:30 a.m., plus I'm going into to work at 3:30 p.m. for another 10hr of overtime.:th
These birdies better hatch! Ah well, at least my candler is pretty.View attachment 1502456
I tested it on a medium brown egg from the fridge. My eggs are being shipped today and will probably be here tomorrow!
You know how when you turn the house heater on for the first time each year it smells funny. Could it be that kind of funny smell? Was it purchased from a person or a store? I know you bought it online but...I'm not sure how Ebay works. Can just anyone sell stuff there?

I think she bought it off of Amazon

Not that I'm aware of. I use a cpap machine so I doubt very highly it's me. Would be too much trouble to take mask on and off etc. I've never know my hubby to sleepwalk but maybe I'm just unaware of it. Hell, I truly don't know. Only other person in the house is our son, who's 20, and he doesn't EVER watch tv unless it's a movie that he's interested in that we all decided to watch. And we do lock our doors at night. I've heard of tv's turning off, maybe something going out on them, but I've never heard of tv's turning ON. I am just so confused and very, very tempted to set up a camera to record. But I just don't know if or when it's ever going to happen again. UGH! :barnie

One of the top return reasons my family’s heater business gets is “it has a funny smell.” Many heating appliances get a funky smell the first time it’s turned on, it’s usually a certain coating on the internal plastic that is burning off. It’s supposed to go away within a day or two, I wouldn’t be surprised if some incubators are the same.

It's a smart tv! If your a conspiracy theorist, then the government is watching you and listening to you but they don't have to turn it on to do that!!!!:lau :he :oops:
 
Texas A&M is just a jumbo version of the English White coloration. Still Coturnix, and can cross with the other color mutations.


Such little cuties! Solid yellow will turn out white feathers, might get spots on head. Yellow fluff with black stripes will be a golden/Italian. The ones with color on the back and yellow fluff underneath will be tuxedos, the yellow will be white feathers, brown fluff usually indicates brown feathers, so you probably have a Tibetan tuxedo. The tuxedo with the grayish fluff might turn out to be a silver tuxedo.​
I need to print this post.
It doesn't make sense yet, I am going to have to re read it in a few minutes once my headache goes bye bye.
Thanks you.

So I have 3 "different" ones? There are only 3 that have the yellow. The rest are the "regular" ones.
Solid yellow = white
The yellow with the colorful stripe will be the tuxedo
And the yellow with the solid stripe will be the golden/Italian?


Is this right?

Does it happen often? You could set up a game cam to see if someone in your house is sleepwalking.
If it’s any consolation, I’m a chronic sleepwalker (pretty much as bad as you can get) and stuff gets moved around and messed with in our house all the time. We don’t worry about it anymore lol.
