Flock/Life Journey's 2019

[ronott1]

Everything seems about the same to me. I usually do a mostly dry incubation since I live in humid Florida and that has given me high hatch rate with chickens. I think I've read that muscovies can be difficult to have a successful hatch. Is that true?

Yes, but it might be due more to when they are shipped.

Goose eggs are supposed to be the hardest to hatch

Its official! Im going To throw in the towel on my hoing pigeons for now the snap freeze these past few weeks pushed the coopers to the breaking point and he apparently scouted the entire loft till he found where some ties on the roofing wire had snapped from the snows wieght before I cleared it(I didn't relize it had happend of course) but the bird went full on assassin and squish its way into the maybe hand wide opening between the chain link and loft back(loft is surround by 10×10 chain link covered area) crawled at least 3 feet to get through to the actual aviary/loft and proceed to kill and eat 2 birds this morning it was trapped in the loft when I went out to feed early thos morning and caught me by surprise when in slammed right into me trying to get out. Thinking I'll shut down my pigeon attempts and convert it to quail or some such, although I'll keep my remaining birds till something takes them -_-.

Ouch. That hurts.

Lol I have this crock pot, I wasn't sure if it was a crock pot or pressure cooker til I asked someone on BYC, they confirmed crock pot because my description of it was "it has no settings, just a "cook" and "warm" button. I use it to make rice.

DH is picky but mashed potato is the one thing he will eat. I'm a pasta and rice person, he's a bread person. I might be slightly celiac. My 23andme test says I have a risk for it and I sometimes break out when eating whole grain bread.

They look really happy. Do you know how old they are?

Haha! I want to be Auntie Chickemon, because I'm gonna collect all the types of bantams when I get them like yearrsss from now.

Yeah! I gotta make steak filet one of these days.

Reminds me of the time someone wanted me to write her essay. I helped her with the intro and told her good luck. Nope she wanted me to write it! Then I put my foot down.

Morning!

DS just dumped my rubbish on the floor. The scroll thing on our mouse doesn't work anymore either. DH is going to get a nice break when we go to the states for 3 weeks.

So today or tomorrow I plan on doing 2 surveys...one from the nurse that saw Keith cus she asked me to. The other one I am not sure if I will do, here is the backstory..

On the 23rd, that day where we *didn't* see the house, we went to Harvey's after where I got a hotdog. DH kept asking me why I wanted a hotdog when a burger is more filling. I told him the coupon said we could get either a hotdog or a burger and I had never gotten a hotdog there. But when I got to the part where the guy was putting on the veggies I was less concerned about which type of food I got than how he was handling it. He kept touching the receipt to make sure we each ordered 1 hotdog and 1 burger for pete's sakes. Then he touched his shirt. He dropped some of my fries and didn't bother to replace them but I won't ding him for that. What I don't like are receipts because of the cancer chemicals in them. It's bad enough to touch it, I don't want to be ingesting it.

DH tells me to forget it because "he's just a kid". Heck when I was 17 and working at subway I was told I was OCD because I washed my hands to the point of getting eczema.

But maybe I should forget it, I don't know. I pictured submitting the survey online and him getting fired and turning to drugs. But if his boss is like my old one she won't do anything about it anyway.

Sometimes when I tell people about cancer causing stuff they will say it's in everything. Well I have a risk for cancer from both sides of my family and I'm not very active and eat enough processed junk to increase my risk tenfold. So I try to avoid cancer where I can, especially when avoidance is easier than, say, exercising.

Part of me wants to throw the survey paper away and the other part wants to try to protect others from being exposed.

I was still nice to the person making my food and I ate it. If anyone wants to chime in on what they would do I'm all ears.

No, I don’t know how old they are.

So sorry

 

[HuffleClaw]

Good afternoon. How are y’all?


’s for anyone who might need one.

 

[rjohns39]

Doing well how about you?

 

[HuffleClaw]

Doing good. Today’s been torture. So boring.

 

[HuffleClaw]

But now I’m going to go free range my chickens!

Maybe you could call the place and speak to a manager and not mention the boy just mention that you observed a staff member. Toughing things and then toughing the food. Maybe they could have a chat to the staff to be mindful of hygiene and cross-contamination when it comes to food prep.
I would explain to them that you were going to do a Survey or Review but you don't want to tarnish the place. You just want them to be aware. Don't mention the Cancer part or the manager might be someone of those people that just brush that off.

That's what I would do.
