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

[Pensmaster]

Do you do it in a pan on the stove?

To much smoke. We have a roaster. See above. I used it once in the house and the smoke detector went off.

According to CA, everything is harmful

I know. I tried to hold my breath once but they told me that was just as harmful as breathing the air.

Wonder how much it cost to ship,a buck.

Never hunted so here's a dumb question. Do the bucks make any noises that if duplicated would draw another buck. Like moose?

Yeah i have deer calls never had then work either..... Guess that's a reason i prefer to fish

Not much of a photo but here's the roaster with the moon in the back ground.

Awesome i want some fresh roasted coffee.

Just like fresh eggs. The difference is that much. And you can shop for so many different green beans and roast them to different degrees that gives you different flavors yet. That's why I like decaf. The wife does leaded.

Deer sound fickle. They are a pain in the neck here.

Me, too!!! We need to get that Smell-o-vision thing working!!!!

(No need to use it for coop cleaning stories, of course! )

Deer are easy.... It's the big bucks that are hard. I'm seeing tons of does.
And this area isn't a population dense area.... Our climate and geography is more moose friendly. And we have a lot of wolves to.... So yeah not exactly a deer mecca.... 20 years ago we didn't have any wolves and we had plenty of deer..... Can't stand wolves....

Yeah, most of it is pretty mild here, and the worst hit group is still all dry, and healing. I also looked it up (my first time seeing this), and was relieved at the immunity thing. I got bitten by several mosquitos today - they are horrible. (May I ask where you are in Texas - north/south/east/west? I'm in the San Antonio area...) MC! You make me smile every time you do this, never gets old.... Yup, that was my attitude exactly this AM. We had a quiz first thing and several of the students wanted to challenge the answers. This morning I told my module co-director "You'd better handle this, I'm too grumpy to be reasonable about this this morning..." :/ Yup, yesterday and today. I have to refresh the page, and then the post is there... Computer is relatively new, I think it's the site. You know, I've never been even remotely tempted to raise turkeys on my limited property. Until now. CURSE YOU, POULTRY MATH!!!!!!! (So, what do I need to know to raise turkeys again? ) I don't intentionally cuddle with any of them, but I do find it much easier to tend wounds and care for them if they are not skittish, so for that reason I appreciate it as a characteristic among my different birds. The Cream Legbars are hysterical, they are the very first to come up to me by the side of their fence (they are not trained to think I am treat lady, it's not really about that), and they are curious and want to be near me whenever I'm around - they just have to stay EXACTLY 1 cm out of reach. Cats, I tell you, they're just cats that lay blue eggs... Yup = same boat, must be going around in Texas this year. Everyone's ok, and the one whose eye was swollen shut now has it open and blinking (I used some antibiotic ointment). Yucky. I really want to try these - alas, I have too many irons in the fire to start up yet another family group. One day, one day, I will get eggs from you. How are your boys on noise? I have eight cockerels and roosters right now, and they aren't TERRIBLE, but they do ALL crow now. Fortunately mostly just mornings - no compulsive crowers or night time crowers (then again, night time crower = dinner here). The info I have says to expect apples in June/July, so that sounds right. It's originally from Israel and needs low chill hours and does well with heat. Ein Shemer (which is what I have it paired with) also provides fruit around that same time (also low chill, also originally from Israel). Tank still hasn't adapted to bedtime yet - or rather, the girls don't like him to sidle up next to them yet (they are still adapting). So Tank got some lap time and cuddles while the girls settled themselves on the roost and worked out a few pecking order issues of their own. Once it was dark, I put him back, and he wanted to snuggle with someone (like his previous girls), but they weren't interested, so he finally just cuddled up with the one who was "roosting" in the sand. Looks like he'll get bedtime cuddles for a little while until this settles down. (They have an automatic door, and if he doesn't leave them alone when going to roost, they'll try to sleep outside, which is NOT ok.) I keep reminding myself that it's only been two days. Making chicken soup in a pressure cooker right now - smells AMAZING. I put in two small skinned CL pullets from the freezer (from the ordeal when I culled them all for potential ALV), plus water, onions, carrots, and ginger. Also harvested some of the out of control lemongrass in my garden and put it in there, too, it's going to be delicious!!! - Ant Farm

Yeah, it was odd picking apples in July Nice.

Quote: True story: I transferred to NJ when I worked for IBM. They flew DW & I into an airport somewhere in north Jersey for a house hunting trip. I'd been working there for a month, but this was DW's 1st trip. We rented a car, and as we headed north, DW wanted to know what that green stuff in the air was. I told her that was the air; it always looked like that.

Probably spreading from Wyoming repopulating efforts.
