Speaking of Turkeys...............................

I have a mystery here.
I was sitting at the dining room table on my laptop (reading BYC and actually doing some work)   I am having a light lunch of cheese and cold cuts  on  Triscuits..


The cold cuts are a bologna with jalapenos in it.  I had some sliced cheese on the plate with the bologna...

I decided to get a glass of water,  I got up went into the kitchen and got the water. I came back and all the cheese is missing from the plate..


The dog is lying on the floor looking all innocent, so I know she did  not take it.... I just can't figure out where the cheese went, and why the bologna is still here...

Maybe the house is haunted...

Did it fall on the chair when you got up and stuck to your rear when sat down...cause that we be way funny.

Do you have any other eggs in the incubator?   Turn the second one into a hatcher for a short while?

Stop the turner on the 19th if you have too for a day. then put the eggs in the hatcher on the 20th.

It is not a huge thing, INHO either way. The problem I see is you cannot have the quail in the hatcher for 4 days after they hatch. So at some point you have to decide to open the hatcher and remove babies them lock it down again...Just do it fast and mist in the hatcher as you close it again

yeah I have runner ducks in there aswell. So if I put the quail in the hatcher and then wait then put the silkies in? I'm confused lol
