Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

[coffeekittie]

But when you get xrays or are working for the hospital, they ask if you have any chance of being pregnant. If so, they won't allow you around it. Embryos and fetuses and the like are more susceptible to the xrays.

This is why I always request foil in the packaging of my eggs. The only ones that ever made it for me were in foil.....

Holy Moly, I've taken over the thread! Now it's all coffee all the time....sorry! I can't keep up with the comments here and want to say something so bad all the time!

Oops, here's another edit to add: I received both swaps from Brown Chicka Brown Cow (I lurve that name) of the duck eggs, plus an extra! Thank you! They all came in looking good, and let's see if they beat the xray machine. Ducks are super tough, tougher than chicks, so maybe their embryos are super tough too, lol. I also received 6 teeny tiny eggs, that I think might be the Nankins from NEK38583, also all looking good. I need some more eggs sent with the foil so I can compare...

I might be going to all live chicks only soon.

Profti, I was wandering the gardens today........because I can with NO snow on the ground and found my hubby drove over TWO of my blueberry bushes, knocked over a fence onto my everbearing raspberries and broke them off for the fifty feet section and it seems my gooseberries are missing. What should be his punishment? Last year we got ten pounds of blueberries each from those bushes, and the raspberries will still produce in the fall (if it doesn't snow early) but there will be a much reduced crop in July. I'm thinking no strawberry jam this year! Or maybe two years because he also hacked off the best limbs on my three varieties of mulberries. And as for the gooseberries! He's been a very bad boy. I say he gets no cherry pie filling for his favorite chocolate cherry bars and black Forrest cake. Think that will teach him?

About five years ago I planted my absolute favorite clematis, Nelly Moser. It produces the most amazing display of blossoms which last about one week and then it is done for the year. Last year it produced for the very first time and in the fall went dormant to the ground. This year I watched the tendrils inching up and the buds start to set. I gazed at it longingly every day, anticipating those gorgeous blossoms this year.

I was at work a few weeks ago, when I got home, DH had decided to do some pruning that day and cut every tendril out and threw it away, thinking it was some kind of weed (I guess).

It has since put up a few branches and there are about two flower buds forming. That gorgeous, if not brief, show will not happen this year..............

Look what we brought home today to our Jenny - she is like

People should start shipping eggs half in foil, half not, to see if it makes a difference. Same package, so it's treated exactly the same.

Just a quick hello from me. We spent the day having a party in GA for the daughter, then came home and fixed the issue with the chick house and added a drainage ditch so it can never happen again. Until today I was not aware that snakes liked to live in gravel...
I am worn out, bedtime for me. Nighty night guys!

Now that's the way to find out. Just make a little mark on the eggs that were foiled, and try to separate them at lockdown/hatching time. Interesting experiment to share with kids, too.

I wish some of the swaps owed to me were shipping this week. My dorking is broody and she is amazing at hatching eggs! Bettet than my cochins even.

Oh my goodness, I hate you you lucky donkey you! If I brought a donkey home, even a mini, my horse would hit the roof. I used to live in NY and I took her to Syracuse for the State Fair several years in a row. This one year the donkey and mule show was going on at the same time as the 4-H show and apparently my horse has a serious phobia of anything donkey-like. She is an Arabian and she is super-smart. She's not really afraid of anything, but has always used fear as an excuse for getting out of things she doesn't want to do, so I can just generally blow her off when she spooks and make her do whatever it is that I want her to do.

Not the donkeys though, when I say phobia, I mean Phobia. I've never seen her that afraid of something. She really was convinced that those donkeys were the minions of the devil sent to Earth to eat her. She doesn't even object to guinea hens as much as she does donkeys.
