Quote: I had faith when you weren't going to originally hatch until spring.
I had faith you wouldn't get ducks until you had the proper shelter and pond built.
I have faith that you won't get any goat kids until you have a place to shelter them.

Hey, mister, you wanna buy a $500 watch for $50
Wow, what a deal! Must be my lucky day!

You accept Monopoly money?
Sure. Can you email it?

Bulletin board @ the feed store?

I know of a veal farm that uses calf hutches; wonder if they'd notice if one went missing

Apparently there was a sudden drop in humidity while this little one was getting ready for the final push. It got stuck and I had to help it out. Poor thing was more than ready to escape the shell. As soon as I got the membrane loosened it kicked the shell off. Thankfully the last one I have faith is going to hatch, is still getting ready to zip, so not much moister loss. I added more water when I put the stuck chick back. It's got curled toes. Probably from being stuck in the nearly hatched position for several hours longer than needed.

My turkeys poults are seriously in a hurry to hatch this week! Today was lockdown and most of them are internally pipped. 2 are even extremely pipped already! They usualy hatch a day early but this is rediculous! Chicken eggs all look to be on target for Friday like they should be. It's not like the temperature was too hot. They were all in the same bator.

I'm glad you got him out! Hopefully his toes will straighten themselves out
