Good afternoon everyone.

What are you hatching?

Yard Chickens. (Rooster is Bantam Cochin and Ladies are LF Cochin, Leg Horns and New Hampshire.)
I now have 2 Cochin eggs hatched the Leg Horn eggs are taking a long time. one broke through the shell on Saturday 7:30 pm and is not Zipping yet. but it is still moving and chirping. In all fairness the chicks that did hatch rolled the eggs around before they (the hatched chicks) were dry enough to move to brooder. I am really hoping to get some me time back. I miss being in the Cafe. you all make the best coffee. I had to inform my DH this AM that he would be fired as a Barista. oh no lack of sleep is kicking in and My thoughts are rambling together. I hope you all have a Great Day!

OH YEA The thing on the back is drying up and pretty much gone now. I left it alone because I fell asleep. The other hatched about 1:30 AM Monday and did not have that on its back side. I hope the others are still doing their thing First-timer anxiety . (Now I hope you all have a Great one!)

I approve of the ice cream sale...

but maybe you should try a bit more home made food? Less money, way less salt, and usually way better for you.

Are there pics of that somewhere here? I was googling and searching with what little brain power I had. and everything said they will be fine. when the last egg broke through but looked too pinkish on the membrane I decided it was time for the roamers to go in the brooder. They are eating and drinking water. I added a splash of ACV and some Nutridrench to the water. They also have choices Chick Crumbles or FF Chick Crumbles. They do appear healthy. and in the pic, The door closes when I am not right there. No cats in the brooder!

Love the Red Sox IceCream, did not know that was a thing. My Dad was a huge fan since he was a boy. Owned one of just about everything Red Sox i think!

Oh yes on the Cartons I was afraid they would get hurt or not be able to zip or do what they needed to move and get out.

Thank you I am loving the experience!

You can tell from the videos that they hatch fine that way

Yeah, those dinners are definitely terrible for you but I was really hungry while shopping and those were on sale also. Plus my dad wants to try the turkey one (it's on the bottom) because I said it had a really good cranberry dessert in it haha

I don't normally eat many of those things, although I have been lately. I definitely want to go back to eating more healthy though. I eat horribly aha

I actually originally went to the store because I wanted a muffin (their muffins are really good) but then I saw all the other stuff...

I need to eat more vegetables and real food for sure.

But the good thing is I haven't touched fast food in forever.

Well, actually, that's a lie. I just got a frosty and 4 nuggets from wendys the other day and I've gottena few mcdonalds hot fudge sundaes :/

Okay, maybe i haven't been eating that well haha

But i try not to go there, i was going like daily and getting soda and fries too and felt horrible.

Now I've been going to Subway almost every day cause it's right next to school. I get fountain drink - light lemonade no soda or bottled water but I do get 2 cookies daily and I don't put veggies on my sub... always steak and cheese or tuna..

That's for sure unhealthy too. And getting expensive lol

So I'm trying to work on going there less.

But sorry for the rambling lol you are so right and I normally never eat them but lately have been
