Whew, ya'll have been chatty! I have been gone most of the day, just got back a while ago. I looked in my incubator and saw that a chick has fully pipped and there is a pretty big hole with his beak sticking out! But it's been like that for a good couple of hours now. I guess it was ready for a nap. The other egg that is due at the same time-- there is nothing going on with it. But it's early, yet.
Danz, wow sounds like you worked HARD. All of that weeding at your parents house and your own. The lasagne sounds good. I make it pretty regularly around here, but I do it the easy way-- after I cook up all the beef and mix the cheese stuff with cottage cheese, I lay down the noodles dry! I just add 3/4 cup of water, cover and it bakes up perfect.
Ivy, that dog is cute, cute!! I don't think I'd be happy with out a little indoor dog either. I like them really little though (like that) so that they are easy to care for. Congrats on the hatched guineas! We used to have them, but they would sit on our cars and scratch them up pretty bad. My dad finally shot them all in a fit of rage when they messed up his restored Model A when he pulled it out of the garage.
Sapphire-- so sorry about all your chicks that died! What was the problem with your incubator?
Trish, no fun with your hurting knees. That sounds pretty darned painful at night. Maybe it's time to go get those shots.
Medawinks, no real good way to determine gender for your silkies, although you can usually tell before they crow. They'll start getting in streamers around 5 or 6 months and that's about the time their comb really comes in, sometimes before that.
Wellllll.... guess I get to hopefully see a chick hatch here tonight! It's resting right now with it's beak out. I hope it wakes up and starts to work its way out soon! I'll take a pic when it does.
