Well yes I'm going to cull some of my roosters keeping the ones I want for breeding. Work on equipment that needs maintenance etc. guess that's enough fun for the day.

Oh and pick up eggs at PO hopefully they still resemble eggs and get the incubator started if so.

these are dark cornish eggs??

Yes from Florida. I know it's a long ways but I've had better luck with eggs further away than closer places. Less handling may be.

The pictures look good, much better than the last bunch I had from feed store. The roosters didn't have one comb the same. Frustrating.

Good morning everyone. I got held up on the way to the feed store this morning by a duck crossing plus one rooster.

I am off to pick up my chicks that hatch the last couple of days.
@The Duck Lady I am glad your hatch is going so well.

Good morning all
And Ralphie

Afternoon Benny. Question for you. In shopping for seeds I came up with a wild oregano from Israel. Are you familiar with it?

Oregano? Or Thyme?
We don't have here the classic oregano Origanum vulgare but on of its cousins called Origanum syriacum or as we call it Zatt'ar זעתר.
But we have some marvellous wild Thyme that upgrade every dish ! Its called Thymus capitatus and it is wonderful!

GOOD MORNING, WEEKEND WARRIORS! I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT DAY!

Thanks! I needed that!!!

(I may or may not have had extra coffee this morning.

)

Quote: I incubate upright and hatch with the eggs lying down, but egg cartons certainly work (this was the shipped egg batch with bad air cells):

Hoping the eggs show up soon!!!

Quote: Alas, I couldn't laugh because it was my boss.

Well I told you about the ones who hatched last night. Here they are:

2 is in the back.
And the MA hatched I'm guessing about 6

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE INCUBATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(which is why I start incubating again on Tuesday!

)
Look at all these adorable ducks RALPHIE

Congratulations!!!!! Worth the wait?
(Addictive, isn't it?!)

Yeah for adorable duck babies.

They had mixed ducklings at TSC - and I resisted. *nod nod*

I have to resist every time I go in there. I try not to look, it's so hard...

Well, busy day ahead. Lots of sanding and sealing lumber, working on building more housing. I'm considering buying a trailer (finally) - tired of having to do so many separate trips to Home Depot for lumber. TSC has the trailers on sale. So I'd better get going...
