Reyvaughn said that the Set all the Eggs motto has and will continue to cause trouble! Gardeningmama says it captures the insanity around here…

Jbeson has the first hatch of the year in lockdown! Can’t wait for fluffy butts!

Gryeyes popped in during the emu hatch to update us on BCM eggs to hatch—and Broodies to hatch them!

grinning-smiley-003.gif


Book asked about where to place the incubator—does it really need to be in a 70 degree stable room? Ronott1 said a quiet place with stable temps is best.

Bhaumesser hopes to be hatching in something other than Styrofoam next year—wants to make a bator out of a motor home refrigerator.

Noncentzter skipped 500 posts, enjoyed time with family, Grandson turned 4 so had a party, Sun was out yesterday so they had too much sun…I am very tired now! What a day that must have been….

We chatted about frogs in the afternoon. Gryeyes thought Gronk was a good name for a Frog. ChickenFox did too and misses having frogs around. LBKS found a frog in a toilette once…

PAchickenlover update: Son still has a swollen ankle and has not seen the Ortho Doc yet. PAchicken lover feels better and has chicks growing out. Critters are hatching soon (ok, ducklings). Welcomes the new hatchers!
sign0092.gif


Misschickenlitts (if they only stayed little, we would be in less trouble) needs to stop buying eggs to hatch! Busted bators and divorce papers sounds quite dire indeed!

Chicken Pickin eats stuffed cabbage when sick. I need to try that next time I get sick. Mom made it for her so maybe I can get my mom to make stuffed cabbage for me too!

Chicken pickin also posted pictures of chicks in with Easter candy.

Great update! Here, have a seat...put your feet up. Want a nice cup of tea? Thank you for going through all the posts so that those of us who are so far behind won't have to.

I am fixing dinner now but will sit down a bit and then it is time to clean up coops and other evening chores.
