Granny's gone and done it again

Nine chicks from eight eggs? Then ... it is possible to hatch a double-yolk egg!? I had not thought it was.

I knew she had a double yolker and decided to let a hen try hatching it. It was her own egg.
Just like you I had read that it's highly unlikely that a double yolker would hatch, one of them might survive but the second one definitely wouldn't.
Being me independent and all, I tried several double yolkers in an incubator with no success. As an independent thinker I decided to let a hen try, she was successful. I was able to identify the two because when I checked on her that morning she still had seven unhatched eggs and one shell in the nest, but two chicks. I promptly marked them to see how they would develope and to see how similar they look as growing juveniles and then as adults.
They looked identical all the way to adulthood with the exception of the one chick being slightly smaller from the beginning, it caught up in size by the time they were ten months old.

Nature knows best. Got a call from my medical peeps. They wanted a follow up with my primary care physician in a week. Well got close. Next Tuesday. Guess I’ll have to count pills to see if I’ll still have enough.

Freaking mrsa!

Some workplace shenanigans. They let go our senior soops. I can understand it, he was a bit of a hot head but still. Wow. Shocker for a Monday morning.

Going to stop by Home Depot to pick up some fencing for Becky’s compost pile. I think Kira is getting into something in there and her poops have been off. Sigh.

I thought that guy was wimpy, he just gave up trying to get food and laid around a lot.

For the oldest it's the 67 years old french participant Michel who wins his 21 days challenge with Valérie 53years old. (From "naked and afraid .

I've never seen it and never will. It sounds to me like it is a new soap opera. I'd rather spend the time talking to a flock of roosters. I have a flock of roosters. They keep strangers scared away.

It isn’t bad. I like learning about survivoring

I would love to be able to go. I wouldnt be able to get up off the forest floor!

But why do they have to be naked? I might watch it if not for that. It's creepy, feels like voyeurism.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

The nakedness isn't just a salacious gimmick: It's an inherent part of the challenge. Participants don't just have to find food and water, they also have to cope with the sun and heat and rain and cold and thorns and bug bites.

well, it was $88. for 2 rabies shots today.. I cant even get them shaved now. It was $20 each last time I took them there and she said they needed a few other shots before a groomer would take them. I hope she is wrong. That would of been $80 more PER dog. They took both dogs in one room without us and was gone about 3 mins. Said they were matted. Duu. Said Frosty has a cataract. otherwise they were in good health. I dont know whether to be bummed or mad.
