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

[Lucky Lemon]

Allow me to put this in a way everyone can understand.
I am so sick, I won't be having coffee today.
I'll be back to open the coffee shop in about twenty minutes.

~gasp~ No coffee.

GOOD MORNING, COFFEE CREW! PLEASE DRINK IN GOOD HEALTH!



@heatherfeather7 You will have a great day! If I am wrong, I will take back my SPR.

Thank you beautiful! I'm sorry you aren't up to coffee today.

I was just showing off a picture of your SPR to a co-worker.

It's all about them. No concern for anyone else.

Agree 100%.

Someone has a birthday today, but the identity is a secret. So, to "Sweet Girl", this is for you!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! MAY ALL OF YOUR WISHES COME TRUE!!

She hatched! I looked in and she had just pushed out. But there is some blood on her head and on the shell, and the blood vessels don't look as dryed up as the other ducklings shells. Is she ok?

Hi Sally!

Busy busy, had the pellet stove half installed and the internet went out. Ran new phone line guessing a mouse chewed it. Hauled 100 bails home for the beef. Made the 2 hr round trip to the Dr. With the 6 yr olds ear infection. Did this right after I made the 1.5 hr round trip to get phone wire. Spent time with every animal. Need to burtcher a couple toms before they breed the poor hen to death. The sour crop is not fully gone so I picked up monistat today. One chicken is missing feathers on the top of her back just in front of her tail. Just going to watch it for a couple days. Have no idea what caused it. Doesn't look like I missed any young roosters when butchered 2 weeks ago. All quail are well, added a light hoping they start laying soon. Thinking of shipping 2 beef that are not going to build the frames I want. The 2 angus and 1 Hereford will get bread this fall for sure. Guessing the 2 Charlotte steers will be ready to burtcher around Christmas. Second round of wormer to the 3 dogs. Got the house in order for the community garden meeting that was here tonight. On tap for this week. Finish pellet stove install, Dr. 2 chickens, take pics of beef for BYC friends, build 2 greenhouse kits for community garden if it is not to windy, if it warms up need to burtcher 2 turkeys. Need to lock down for Saturday hatch. Found quail eggs $.50 each good looking birds less than an hr away. Back cracker on Tuesday and Back Dr. On Friday. If I get that done can start bathroom remodel, 5 sons with there dads aim, I am putting a urinal in there bathroom.

Wow, that was a busy day. A trough type urinal in the bathroom?

Hello MC!

Quote: Sorry - didn't mean to rub it in. These are my first apple trees, so I'm excited.

As tired as I was, I woke up at about 4:15am with a lot of hand pain - just the usual consequence of operating the orbital sander for long periods, can't be helped. But I have learned from experience that I need to get up and get the hand/arm vertical and moving around to get it to recede. Then when it did about 15 minutes later, I got back in bed, but Opal came to visit me in the bed to be little miss cuddlebuns (it seems that early morning is "their time"). Loved it, but wasn't getting sleep, and I was really awake anyhow, so I just decided to get up and do some laundry, etc. Nice to not rush for once in the morning - eating some scrambled eggs with goat cheese on toast (homemade goat cheese, homemade bread/toast, and yeah, the eggs - I still think that's so cool!).

Having my second cup of coffee (don't tell my doctor!). I am now completely convinced that goat milk tastes better than cows milk in coffee.

I hope your hand is doing better today.
