Baby racing homers.

I have had utility pigeons before, but I have always wanted to try racing pigeons. Do you race?

All caught up! That wasn't near as bad as I had expected.

I missed y'all today!

Good night!

Well this thread looks like it should get published already. As a book... but when do baluts reappear in this story?
Please add a Table of Contents for all those who have no idea where this is all going but not enough time to read every page.

I wonder if I could ship them to her and they would find their way back down here?

I don't race, .... yet? I am just getting started with a very small loft and for now I plan to train and fly them for my pleasure ... and theirs.

There is one in the very first post.

I hope you have a notepad full of canned responses because the same question gets asked every five to ten pages. I can't figure out how people can be annoyed over too much off-topic reading when the very first, entirely on-topic post has a summary in it.

Alas, we all miss the man and the balut and, hey, did you ever buy those gross century eggs? Or eat the "pile of salt in a shell" duck eggs? Rumor has it, you peel and chop those up to top some bland congee. A little goes a long way.

They are so ugly they are cute!

Do they have names yet?

Not yet. For now I'm calling them mis palomitas. From the spanish for dove/pigeon - paloma. Palomita can be the diminutive of paloma but also 'popcorn' for how quick they hatched. lol

I did not buy those black rotten ones.

Remember the red wrapped salted ones?
I brought them to my mom's for Easter.
We forgot about them there in the fridge.

She called a few days later to tell me that her man went to try one and mid-bite she hollered out "Wait! I saw something move"...or something similar to that to scare him.
He immediately ran to the trash can and spit it out. They trashed the rest of the salted eggs. He did say it was a very weird texture and that the egg kind of crumbled in his mouth.

Remember I had to tell my family all about this balut business on Easter.

I suck at trying to retell this salt egg story but it was so funny hearing it from my mom we both peed in our pants and couldn't breath for a good 5 mins...pure cry laughing on the phone.
