Hi Liz! I have goats and boats, he should get both!
Yes, I'm glad to have a little color in my eggs.

LOL, we have a 1950s aluminum boat that was his grandfathers
and my brother is supposed to be selling (giving really good deal/steal) on his old formula
so he should not be looking at boats, but at least he's not looking at goats anymore

Full clutch:

lockdown already??

Best day of a man's life is when he buys a boat.
2nd best is when he sells it.

Time for a Lowes run.

you got it wrong there whites, its a B-E-E-R-R-U-N

I totally agree

Plugged everything in and the fan works!

I'd love to say the good cleaning did the trick, but nothing around here is getting a good cleaning...

nice!!!

It's finally happened, just as I was afraid it would.
I had a dream last night about chicks. I was moving them from an indoor brooder to an outside run, and had a double armload of them; even had them spilling over the edge.
I ain't never been so scared! What's happening to me? Will the dreams go away, or will they become reality?

ha ha ha!! Hey Whites, when these marans lay I am sending you eggies but will give you a heads up to fire up the bator or talk to your girls to get a broody These eggs should be awesome, and wait until I get pics of them and show them to you!

Looks like we have lockdown at same time. What breeds?

My broody has till next Saturday.

Or are you just starting?

Projects, mixes, and mutts. Big eggs are from chickat's lavender crele project, can't remember which gen. Front green basket is a big blue cochin/EE hen who lays a green egg under a BIG OE cuckoo marans from Sally. Second green basket is CCL hen under EE roo. Purple basket is eggs that chickat's project birds laid after they came to live with me.

Hello, Darlin'
How we feelin' this mornin'?

hi whites, imma ok sorta miserable but had my credit card frauded or whatever its called, hate dealing with crap, but its all better now lol

In chicken news, 9 of the 12 eggs from Florida made it to lock down 2 rings 1 dud. All 12 of mine going well. AC's of dark ones not as developed but should be fine.



In mushroom news Ralphie I did find another Morel. It was in the compost pile. My compost pile isn't a pile of poop as your imagining. That side of the pile hasn't been touched in years. When I scrape firebreaks all the weeds, leaves, bark go there. I do turn it from time to time just to keep weeds down and move that to my garden areas when needed.

nice! good luck with the eggies too, Jess eggs here should hatch tomorrow,.

Can anyone give me some hope please! My khaki duck eggs are on day 25 just put into lockdown when I candled them they are wriggling about. When I looked at the pointed end it was clear is that normal? I thought all the egg was supposed to be dark

What Liz gave you

Full clutch:

good luck!

Quote: yes what liz said, these are your eggs correct? how did you incubate upright or horizontal and I see your air cell, even a pencil mark is fine

Quote: Hi peter! no you didnt miss them! I sold all off and kept four hens, waiting for them to lay! its so muddy I havent taken many pics, runs are gross, I just started to free range them so I will when this rain ends.
