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

[Akrnaf2]

You're in rare form today!!! :/ I wasn't feeling well today - again with the "too tired" thing (likely lingering migraine effects). I had to come home early and lay down in bed for a few hours (I SHOULD have taken advantage of the light to get stuff done outside, but I could barely hold my head up).I was woken up around 2:30pm by the phone ringing. It was Ideal Poultry. They were like, we know you're on the waiting list for two female American Buff geese for 2018. We have two that we can ship out to you TODAY! I gathered my wits and declined (remember, I have 50 chicks coming in the next 3 days). Gosh... - Ant Farm

Wow. Hope you get to feeling better.

Thanks, but it's totally minor - I'm just being a bit whiney. It's just irritating to be tired when there's so much to do. Benny, I made those energy bars - the dates I had were kinda old (but had been stored and in my fridge, so ok) - they were a bit dry, so I added a lot more coffee to moisten it up. Nothing wrong with that! They were extremely easy to make. They're chilling in the fridge now. - Ant Farm

Looks very yummy! Tell us about the taste!

I found a good sale price on an accurate hygrometer with adjustable calibration.

Hope you get enough to make some! Our taps have dramatically slowed their flow. We didn't even collect anything today.
Thanks for the update! And good luck with the kids!

@chaos18- I'm so sorry for your loss

Abi-I hope your duckling shows up :/

Everyone else, good luck on your ventures!

We're any decisions made on something for Sally?

Not flowing the best here either. Wouldn't ya know it, is that what it takes, put some taps in some tree's and it warms up at night? Like my FIL says 'you want it to rain, water your garden'
Supposed to be below freezing here this weekend, and towards the end of next week.

Isn't that the truth! We're supposed to drop back down to the 30s and 40's during the day starting on Sunday and freezing overnight again. I'm not sure if that's going to start the sap flowing again or not. Heck, we already collected AT LEAST 50 gallons of it and we're down to about the last 10 to cook down. I'm not sure if we'll keep collecting or just remove the taps. That's still up in the air.

GOOD MORNING! I HOPE EVERYONE IS FEELING HEALTHY AND STRONG! THOUGH IF YOU ARE STRONG SMELLING, PLEASE STAY OUTSIDE!

I guess you can say that. But they are up on the tree to be technical.
