Quote: I'll do day 4, but wont pull anything until about day 8 or 9 just to make sure. Every time I try day 3 I just get a head ache from looking too hard, LOL

Im too far now, but maybe next time I'll see if I can get the light and the webcam just right at day 7

I will warn ya'll now, I'll post this a few more times... but since it is close to the point we say "night ya'll"....

I have Tilapia for sale. 5 inches long... I got them to breed for my own use and I have since lost interest/funding in the project. They are Oreochromis mossambicus... one of the more rare breeds and most hardy.

Holla if you are interested. I would like to be able to put something else in the tank.

I don't pull until day 18... I also don't bury a animal until I am certain it isn't breathing. Say what you will, but people have been buried alive and I'm sure many more critters. It's a thing I have... don't try to understand it.

ohh... I'll check with the father in law. He has a few tanks going of something??? He now feeds his new hydroponics set up with the water from those. I am stupid when it comes to that..I have not seen his set up yet.

He's my man then... if he uses fish water for the hydroponics, then it is no longer hydroponics... it is now aquaponics. Which is what I bought them for in the first place. I thought I got the fry I would hurry up and do the set up... well, we all know how my summer ended and fall began. So I want to sell these (there are 5) and start new when the dust has settled.

ive never tried waxing those cracks...you think it is worth a try

I have put tape on several eggs at different times and hatched the chicks out. I even had a hole in the air sac part of one and taped it. It was surprised they hatched,

Picnic- head count 15-20

itsthelaw- plates, forks, spoons, napkins

littlechicklet- triple chocolate cake, potato salad

bairo- meats

talbotpoultry- reservation made. Not sure of dishes yet.

stanglover- cupcakes

YUM YUM

So do we still need condiments, chips, bread? I may not have gotten everything correct feel free to correct it. Also would you rather me bring an assortment of chips or potato salad? It does not matter to me.

There will be between 3 and 5 of us including Allan and Emma (Mom and dad)

I am hoping to get a lavender to add to my mix of orps.

I also have a cockerel & pullet blue that do not fit with what I want. I am trying to decide what to do with them. I hate being such a sap but he is a sweet one & so is she. The Island of Misfit animals lives on here.

You realize we're blowing this thread up with comments! All the others are going to log and and see 100 posts in one night!

YA 148 in 7 hours, geepers how is a body to keep up.

Who in Lenoir City is selling the Lavender Orpingtons???

Not me, I'm in Talbott/

Yeah, $25 per laying hen, not a bad price either.. I wish I had the money would buy the whole group since they'd end up being $20 each..

ETA: they'd go so nicely with my eggs I'm going to get later...

The Lav Orps that I got from Terry are giving me plenty of chicks, so when you are ready I will make you a deal, (Terry would KILL me if I didn't)

Hobbychicken...Allen and his wife had them there for people to see what quality chickens look like and give them a chance to see other breeds.

There were some people there that came by and ask if they were for sale.
Dad said no, I told them sure, $300 for the trey. Don't think they were that interested.

Don't worry they will more than likely live out the rest of their lives with us.
Candled the 10 from Gol I have in the bator, ALL fertile. I love that gentle giant.
I'm going to share the pics you sent me when we got them from you, hope you don't mind.

Stang, littlechicklet,Hobby chicken

Will have chicks and POL's come spring time.
