Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

[Sally Sunshine]

Dolfi that's funny! Chad says when he calls I sound miserable! I tell him, he can watch all these kids and see how HE answers the phone!

I have kids 24/7 without break, EVER, I only complain when I am cleaning up a mess! WAIT!!! stop that train!! because that's ALWAYS!!! I may complain but I love my kiddos and some! lol see this is why I have my animals, they do keep me sane from the human madness! oh and did I mention that 4 of my kids parents called off "sick today" sighhhhhhh that leaves me with mine and 2 others today, so its fairly quiet!

that reminds me........

We have tossed 200 eggs thus far - but atleast we wont have unrealistic hopes of what will hatch.

I am please that several breeds will have a chance. Way better than ending up with one or 2 birds of 10 different breeds.
