Well I was out working on the rabbit hutches this afternoon a couple of times both before & after lunch up until a few minutes ago. I got all the wire put on the bottom of the one hutch & replaced one leg that was rotted. Then I was making good progress on taking off the two bad legs on the front wire part when wouldn't you know my screwdriver battery died. DH has the other battery at work since he has the other handle with him, aggravating! So I texted him & told him to bring the thing back home so I could have two batteries. I hope he remembers to bring it home tonight when he comes home. So now I'm at a standstill until the darned battery charges back up. I guess I could go get the old drill motor, the electric one, but it's such a hassle to put a bit in it. DH gets a tool allowance at work so he bought this really expensive set with a drill & screwdriver. He takes it back & forth to work at times if he thinks he needs it there, but mostly it's here. He kept it there for a little while just to look like he was using it. They don't really keep track of all the tools everyone has there in their toolboxes. They even will pay for wool socks for him he found out this winter since they work in an unheated cell at times, some of the places are heated & some aren't where they work on the aircraft engines. It depends on what his job is for the day, whether he is up reading the computer while they test an engine or down on the floor taking one apart. Anyway, I'm aggravated because I really wanted to get one hutch put back together today so I could move more rabbits outside.
Hawkeye, sorry to hear about your eggs. You might leave them in a little longer just in case though. I've got to go out here in a minute & see if my Ameraucanas laid me any more eggs today because I need to fire up my incubator tonight & get it regulated so I can put the eggs I've been collecting in there. I can't wait to see if I get any fertile ones. Surely there will be some as busy as these roosters are around here. The Ameraucana eggs will be pure breed, but the EE eggs will be mixed of course. I just needed a few more eggs to fill in since I only have two Ameraucana hens & they don't lay all the time. I sure would like to figure out which one is laying that gorgeous sky-blue egg, it's just beautiful.
Well better go do chores, the birds & animals are waiting for me.
