Checking for an egg is easy... Put on glove, KY Jelly, *gently* insert finger and check for egg. If it's there it can usually be felt no more than an inch in. Be very gentle, sometimes they have soft ones, or ones still forming shells in the uterus. These pictures should help you visualize where an egg should be.
I do love the full frame sensor!! I am somewhat interested in taking a photography class at the college, but only somewhat. I like being self taught, I always question people teaching me an art thinking "is this science-based or just your opinion? Where is the evidence?!" I like being able to go online and compare the information between several credible sources. And I also don't know if I'll ever have room in my schedule for it. I will be taking American Sign Language until I'm fluent, which will be the full 2 years that I'm in Jr College. Maybe after I hit ASL 3, when it changes from 2 separate classes to one all-inclusive class I will have time for it. I don't know...not something I'm going to worry about though because I don't mind being self taught, and don't know if I'd enjoy a photography class. In a class it becomes more than just fun, it becomes work, and I don't think I want that.
Nice setup!
Got the pumpkin box set up and made a chicken wire lid for it. Just in time, too. The biggest chick was flinging itself at the tulle barrier I had on the wardrobe box all morning. Now it's busy roosting on the new bar.
According to my husband, there are two versions of the egg song. "b-b-b-b-b-b-BEEYAWK!" and "boc boc boc boc buh-GAWK!" The second is louder and goes on longer. In case you hadn't guessed, he finds the egg songs somewhat annoying. Those both come from a text sent when he was home alone with the kids, and multiple hens began to sing when he was ttrying to put the kids down for naps.How would you represent the egg song/alarm call in text? Y'see, I want to write an entry for this website I've been a member of for 13 years now ('tis where the "Paperlady" bit in my name comes from) about backyard chicken keeping, and I'd like to put a representation of the egg song in the intro. It's an english-language-only site, so everyone reading would be familiar with common sounds, though, since it's an international site (I've friends on 5 continents (no one that I know is in South America or Antarctica)) pronunciation is different all over. Though I suppose that doesn't really matter for nonsense words
