5th Annual BYC New Year's Day 2014 Hatch-A-Long

[Aphrael]

Well, try as I might, I can't avoid it. There really is only one way around it, you know.

Another pic? ok…..




I have a few OEs, this fish pic doesn't do them justice…I'll look for another...

HERE we go!

Those are lovely!

I penned my SFH hoping to get eggs...they HATE confinement and usually stop laying entirely for like 2 weeks when I do this, but otherwise, I can't get the eggs before the dogs eat them.

Oh Blarney, I so love your green eggs. I have been wanting an Olive egger for ever!

Okay, now that's just mean. Like against the Geneva Conventions mean! Now I'm jealous!

Blarneyeggs...don't know if you've checked FB yet, but I got your ornament!! YAY!

OMG OMG OMG!!! You are THE BEST!!!! I'll be meeting up with you for the egg delivery, can I pick it up then? How much is it?

No Charge..Merry Christmas...

I do need to get with ya's and talk about when to come up..I was thinking the 9th or 10th.

Too bad you aren't closer. My GCMs are laying and I did that test hatch I told you I might do and had 100% fertility. 11 out of twelve chicks hatched. 5 pullets and 6 roosters, so I will have that rooster you wanted

Great! Pick a good one for me, ok?

What I struggle with is….'Gee, where is the post that pointed me to that web~site I really wanted to read?' Cause there's no finding it on this thread!

I'm embarrassed to tell you what DH keeps this heat box at, but lets put it this way, tank tops and shorts are in order. I don't know what I'll do when I go through the change….toss him out? Although I'm enjoying the toasty~ness right this moment. Cleaned 3 coops and 2 goat pens this morning before the freezing rain came…well, got MOST of it done before the freezing rain and now I'M freezin! Nothing like getting soaked through to make you appreciate a hot cup a tea!

I struggle with that same thing. I don't know when I'll ever learn that when I see a link I should click on it right then to open in another tab.

My husband tries to do the same thing. He wanders around in shorts and t-shirt and asks if the house is cold to anybody else!!!!
NO! Get dressed!

I can tell you whats really nice too... working outside in the freezing cold wind because it has to be done NOW and you have a teenage daughter in the house fixing hot soup for when you get done! What an angel!

You will be one made person, the change sucks. I have been going through it for two years started at 46. You heat up like someone set you on fire. You sweat all night and day. It has been so bad in the summer it has brought me to tears

Let me pass on a bit of wisdom to you ladies suffering through your change. There's two things you can do, not including a cold shower.

Vitamin E. Take two 400 i.u. capsules morning and night until you have it under control. Then you can lower it to 1 in the morning and two at night (that's when my biggest problem comes - night sweats! Yuk!). Right now, I just take two before bed and I hardly ever combust.

Golden Flax meal. It needs to be freshly ground so maybe a small coffee grinder that can grind up just a little bit and you can sprinkle it on your meals. This one I haven't tried but have heard that it is a miracle cure for the flames.

Hope this helps.

I've got my eggs lined up yay! Exchequer leghorns, EEs and OEs and if I'm really lucky, my bantam cochin will finish her molt before the set date and lay me some eggs to set.

Yay! Sounds like you'll have a rainbow in there!

Wow! This sounds exciting! I'm new here and I'm thrilled to see these exciting events I can't join this year, but I'll definitely put this on my bucket list next year.
