EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[DwayneNLiz]

I just learned that from a friend who had 6 turtles hatch near her pond.

my call drake was limping around, i think a turtle tried to grab him, he had a scrape on the inside of his knee

Knew the bass would. I was sure the turtles ate fish just didn't think about ducklings.

Wind is kicking up. Storms brewing. Going out to see if I can turn the compost pile before it starts.

stay safe

stay safe 

Thanks. It should go well. If I stay on the couch long enough it will start raining then I can stay.

Gosh those things are a bother. I was thinking it would be fun to have some in pond. Little did I know my little fly eating pet of yesteryear was so vicious.

Turtles eat ducklings?

They ate my adult mallard. All that was left was the skeleton. It was awful!

I've seen some large ones out here. They are the ones I worry most about. The ducks and geese we had before survived 15 years before I lost any. This past year and a half I've lost all but 1 goose and 1 duck. Some died of old age I think. My mama goose died of a broken heart I think.

Wife made ham and beans last week. It was more like ham and find the bean. It was delicious but I wanted more beans so I cooked up some Asian red beans and white navy beans to mix in. It's perfect now.

Anyone know this ditty?

Beans, beans,
the magical fruit.
The more you eat
the more you toot.
The more you toot,
the better you feel.
So eat beans at every meal.

Beans beans
They're good for your heart
The more you eat, the more you "ahem"
The more you "ahem", the better you feel
So, eat beans at every meal

its probable that she did, we have used big aluminum grain shovels to get them out of the road, their legs hang off the sides, with the trash can they fit on it with their legs but still they are giant Dinos!!
