ROFL! We'll send you pickled eggs for a treat and hide a key inside one...

As for the quail incubation -- 16-17 days, though I've heard of them hatching a couple of days early in some cases.

We'll hope mine hatch. I "really" wasn't storing the eggs I put in properly for incubation. They were stored a little warmer and I didn't turn them while stored. I really hadn't planned on those particular eggs going into the incubator when I put them where they were. So, we'll see. It'll be my luck every single one of them will hatch and I'll be overrun with birds. I just knew, though, that I wouldn't want to hatch any later in the season than this -- don't want to deal with keeping babies warm in cold weather.

If you aren't expecting them to hatch, they probably will. Right after we first got our chickens someone on here gave Colton 2 dozen eggs to hatch and threw in a goose egg. I had no intentions of ever having a goose, but I was like, it is only one egg, what is the chances of it actually hatching since we have no idea what we are doing here. We now have Nester!

Yes he is and most days I wouldn't trade him for anything. He is a little over a year and a half old now. Seems like it was just yesterday he was riding around my neck in my hoodie!

Awww Nester is a doll. I'll have to find some pictures of the geese I used to have. They were sweeties too. Mine were TSC geese bought when I got duckings.

Don't ya just love the muddy mess that the ducks and geese can make out of a perfectly good area of yard?

The 2 geese and 5 ducks actually live in the middle of the front yard and when it isn't muddy out for them, I use the garden hose to wet part of it down for them. It keeps them from splashing all the water out of their pond. They love to make holes in the ground!

He started it first. If he is dumb enough to come back, he deserves what he gets. You can come watch, but I don't need help. He is a scrawny little balded headed, socially awkward idiot nerd that I can handle just fine. He doesn't come out of his hole very often, but when he does, he riles someone up. Today was my turn. Excuse me for misleading the listeners about a Rotary breakfast in a long list of events at a celebration this weekend. Nevermind it is only a 30 second ad and I left out a whole lot more than that. Most importantly, don't tell me the boss has already told me to change it when he didn't and certainly don't go running to the boss about it when I have already told you I would change it. Right now I am madder than Thunder when he doesn't get to go on a car ride!

Only if you get to close to him in his pen! He loves to wait for the goats to not be paying attention to what they are doing with their behinds backed up too close to the fence. He can move them on in a hurry!

Gee Michelle. You're not mad, are you? I could read you're screaming! Lol!

Feel better now?

 

[Rozzie]

LOL if it is stupid coworker day, does that mean I should skip reading my email this afternoon? Might be wise...

I am cleaning the garage today. Fun, eh? Have to go to the drug store shortly as I'm out of my allergy meds...
