She can be a misleading person...

What he said!!!!!

WHY DID YOU OPEN THE INCUBATOR???
You need more patience when hatching..Leave thy fingers off the eggs and leave the cover/door shut until they are done hatching!!!

I had seen your post only after was told to check

Pockets?? Sweet!

That's why I make my own skirts. Nobody seems to know how to put nice pockets in them.


They're plenty warm, thanks.



I'd rather be full of toxins than melted into a puddle.


Beach is fun, but SO crowded. I think there were almost a hundred people there the last time I went. Well, maybe less, but there was a lot.

Watermelon? Why can't you eat that in winter too?

I know! Where's one supposed to put the bullets? Or their phone? Or their keys?

That's WAY too many people. I don't want to see anyone. Ugh.

Way you did that? Lockdown means as it says LOCK down you should not open your bator from day 18 to at least day 23!

You and Ralphie are exchanging notes...aren't you?

But what's one supposed to do there. Sit on the beach?

We don't go as often now that our rug rats are adult rats. We went often in past. DH re furbished an old Shasta camper trailer and we would pull it to the beach a lot.
As the kids got older, the magic of the beach faded.
Our son just got married on the beach in Ormond recently.. I heart walking on the beach at night in the moon light.

I did until reading thru incubation forum by @BantyChooks for 3rd time and others and made mention to day 22. Geez, sorry, but this is a learning experience and there are kinks til you're more experienced. No one knows everything immediately so we count on educating ourselves thru research and trials. Sorry

Don't worry about it!
you should know that minimum messing with the eggs increases the chances of good hatch.

DH is in the other room Squaking and ranting about the people responding to our ads in the classifieds.
He put in all the chicken ads stating well don't sell Chickens already laying Eggs. (ON THE FIRST AND LAST LINE), only 1 week old to 4 months max.
He got 4 calls in a row asking for hens laying brown eggs right now. The last caller he asked if she knew how to read.. He is getting huffy and puffy...
He said to me.. If a hung a sign that says danger do not enter.. the room would be full of dumb ______.
Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the farm.

We don't sell stuff that old because we have too much money and time invested in them. Average bird now is 10/15-$20 max.(large layers) At six months old they already ate fifty clams! Those ladies are going into our egg production house to pay us back for the cost of raising them.

Yay for him!!! My kind of man!

You most likely killed it by the chick by doing this.. I wish you well, but worry about the outcome now..

Thank, but I didn't see your posts til after.

Bullets??

Don't worry about it!
you should know that minimum messing with the eggs increases the chances of good hatch.

If I read her post correctly, those are the last two eggs in the batch... the others hatched already... stragglers like that often are malpositioned, and from the sound of it, he/she would like to save as many as possible.

Only if sleep is unnecessary.
Now you have me thinking literally. Most people do employ a sandman.
The $$ for a better bed, mattress topper, sheets, blankets, pillows, pillow cases, soothing scents and sounds, room darkening curtains...
The list of special things to help you sleep is endless! If course, you have the pills to take, warm milk/night cap to drink. Studies the government has done to drag us in a million directions.
I need a nap!

I don't really need anything to sleep. Give me a milk jug, a paper towel and the hard kitchen floor and I can sleep there. A milk jug makes a terrific pillow in a pinch. Adjustable even. I don't usually even stay awake long enough to think about going to sleep...I'm asleep as soon as I hit the pillow.
