Probably. I melt down broken crayons for the kiddos and metal molds are the best

I bought one of those crayons crayon making kits so now any time I have broken crayons I can reshape them my oldest wont use a crayon if its broken :/

We have one of those too. I like it, but I was previously throwing away any crayon remnants that I came across. Most of our crayons go the way of the dog...for whatever reason both our dogs absolutely love to eat pencils, markers, and crayons...and the kids can't keep up with them to save their lives literally. I don't know what happens to them all...but you can give them a box of 200 and in 2 days they will have perhaps one half of one crayon that they can easily find and show.

Eleven of 30 original bantam Ameraucana eggs hatched. Six with my help. One I helped bled out (I cried), one was still kind of stuck to it's self this morning and I had to clean it up and hobble it's legs. The rest seem fine. One died in the egg mostly zipped and one died internally pipped. It was alive last night when I candled the remaining 7 eggs. I guess I can't complain since they were shipped eggs! I need to fix this issue with my chicks shrink wrapping because the fans are drying them faster than they can get out. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Sounds to me like your fans are blowing the wrong way, what kind of incubator is it? and did you install the fan yourself? If its a pc fan that you installed yourself the fan needs to be up blowing out the top of the incubator, if the fan is installed incorrectly and it is blowing down on the eggs then thats a recipe for shrink wrapped chicks

YUS! DH makes ribs that will knock your brains out.

I think I am at 140 birds now....

IF you count all the juveniles. I am not counting chicks though.... I would make a bad neighbor for anyone other then fellow chicken/goose/fowl people lmaoooo


***Speaking of DH's... I need to go spend time with mine. He builds me cages and I seem to ignore him...

I never knew that! I wonder if thats the problem in my hatcher. I hatched without the fan due to not having enough plugs this last time and had no sticky chicks but I usually have lots! Interesting. . . will have to check it out when I get home from work.

I did not make this one. It's a factor built GQF Sportsman. The fans blow toward the front to circulate the air.
