That's like my youngest daughter when she was little. She threatened to hold her breath until I gave her a cookie. Well, I got her cookie 'cause she was passed out on the floor.

I'd be proud of her....

The two year old I had today stuck a pc of dog food in his ear and got it way stuck in there. Talk about freaking out, thank God the tweezers worked and we could all laugh about it! But a stack full of rubberbands up the nose is a bad thing, dont bother with the tweezers you need medical help

that was my stepdaughter at 2

Hello everybody!!!

Ok...I've officially given up trying to catch up in this thread since I'm now 6709 posts behind! I'm never, ever gonna catch up...lol!

But I have a question, so I'm just going to ask it. Has anyone ever set eggs that must have gotten cold enough to damage the air cells?? These are not shipped eggs, they're my own...and they only had to travel a few steps from the coop to the house so I know it isn't the shipping damage...lol.

It was during the low -20s when this happened and although I was gathering a couple 'o times a day...I'm guessing it still wasn't enough. I had three that showed rolling air cells...and I was like "what the....??" (Out of 5 eggs, I dropped the rest of the carton and broke everything else)

I had done what I normally do...dated them and left them in the porch, upright in egg cartons where it's cooler...approx. 16C-19C (where they could warm up without a huge temp shock) to sit with the air cells up. I brought them into the kitchen to acclimatize to the warmer temps overnight when I was ready to set them. I marked them in the morning and I stuck 'em in my bator. I can't remember if I started them on their sides and then moved them upright when I discovered the rolling air cells or if I candled first looking for cracks and set them upright right from the beginning.
I "think" I set them on their sides for the first day or two (I candle at 2 days) and then I put them upright in my stationary rack that was still in from the last hatch.

I wasn't expecting anything to develop. I assumed if the eggs had gotten that cold, safe down to -2 I had read somewhere on here, they probably would be damaged. BUT, so far all the eggs are developing and are due to hatch this weekend. I did end up with two saddle cells so I'll see how that goes. But other than the cold, I can't imagine what else could have happened. I've never experienced this before with any of my eggs last summer/fall/ this winter and I haven't since. (of course it's warmed up here) Unless something shows up when I candle the 34 eggs I just put in. The previous eggs my family gathered and put upside down in the carton didn't damage the air cells/eggs and they hatched...

Any thoughts?

My youngest daughter, Brit, was evil evil when she was little. You would never know it at 18 now. I swear I was dreading her teenage years. Turned out to be my easiest and politest of the 3. That kid was a button pusher.

Brit was probably about 4 or so and the fam was picking me up from the airport. April, my wife, was yacking on her her cell phone and said,"shoot, I think I missed the turn." Brit piped up and said,"you better have not missed the turn, I'm ready to see my daddy!"

Here he is! The pretty boy himself, I decided to name him Hans.(although I keep calling him Hansie.

)

The picture honestly doesn't do him justice, I'll have to take more tomorrow in better light, it was evening when I brought him home.

Shhhhh! Don't give Duckling ideas! Though I know she will pass out if she holds her breath. I know not to freak.

Been there, done that! I am so glad this isn't my first go 'round!
So far, she's only electrocuted herself.

Oops!
