[shawluvsbirds]

I'm getting the hatching bug again. Someone slap my patties and tell me I have too many bir

Too late in season anyway... But it's tempting.

think about you 100 dollar feed bill. . .

I'm gonna hold my breath 'til someone says something.

You don't really want to see me turn blue, do you?

Don't do it whites! Your heart wouldn't like that!

Unless your hatching ducks. . . then it's totally worth it

Is there such thing as a hatching season in central florida?
We might get some frost in Jan.

Up here hatching needs to be done by July or you're gonna have issues with heat.

Thanks. That helped.

Too many ducks. They eat like pigs. Plus, can't find eggs..

He said he's not going in. Stubborn thing.


You're welcome to come help kill 'em

No problem at all!

Well, I've waited 5 minutes and he ain't here, so he might be yours yet.

Maybe GPS pulled a fast one on him, or maybe he tried to use Google Maps---they claim my address doesn't exist.

My teleportaion device broke down! This lousy Cardassians!
They are the Chinese of the alfa quadrant!

I ended up with 14 quail. I learned a few things the hard way with those little guys

The most important thing I learned was to put them under a heat light or on warming pads. My heater in my brooder turns off. BAD Chicken do ok with it but those little quail need constant heat.

You should learn about the S/V ratio, how it's changes according to the body size, and how it's influence on the heat loosing in Endothermic criterers.
