INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

From what you've been saying, the whole affair sounds more political than anything, which is a shame. One of my kids tried 4H, but didn't stay long...don't know why. Maybe because this area was very farm / livestock oriented, and we had neither at the time. Still plenty of 4H stock at the county fair, and it brings TOP prices. The larger grocery chains are usually good for a couple steers every year. The kids also learn about grooming & showmanship, the prices they get help pay for the follow year's project animal. They have, cattle, sheep, swine, goats, rabbits, chickens (when AI doesn't cause them to be cancelled); just about any livestock category imaginable...big deal around here, along with FFA.

This town is extremely political. It's very hard for people who've moved here, to get involved in anything and you often get shut out.

  Hi Pensmaster! Seven is a good number. She's not coming at you anymore?



 If there is enough interest, I would go over the local person's head.


 "Fancy" is their (4-H) term, not mine.

No she's not but she watches me very closely and I her.

O what a lovely place you choose to live in!

So my one lonely chick

in the incubator is cuddling with one of the eggs. Does this mean that it is close to hatching?

It's where the job took us. This was actually an upgrade compared to our last location.

At least we have a Wal-Mart and a movie theatre. LOL

Could be. My solo hatching chick cuddled with the eggs, I think trying to encourage them to hatch. Only 1 hatched in my first batch, I ended up taking her out after a few hours and putting her in with my silkie for company.

Thank you. I am hoping they hatch soon. I have to go to work in a little bit.
