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

No. We were supposed to go last year, but... Things happened.

Not being a biker, I've not been there, either, but one of my team mates & her DH have, once. They say there ain't much that doesn't go on, and clothing seems to be somewhat optional.

There are a lot of beautiful rides to go on, devils tower, mount rushmore, crazy horse, badlands, very pretty area

I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess they eat cotton candy, but it is real hard to find some with enough protein that will not break the bank.

@chicken hawk 33 and anyone else interested , I suggested that one should not mess with the nest because it's been my experience that some ducks will accidentally squish their eggs, and they seem more likely to do this once they start zipping. This is the main reason I leave my girls alone while they are sitting. I just went outside and heard a duckling peeping, so I looked under the horse trailer where one duck has a nest and saw one live duckling and two squished in shell ducklings that were dead. Once they look like this, they cannot hatch and will die, so best to just leave them alone and let her do her job.



I'm not sure why this is more common in ducks, maybe it's because they're heavier than chickens, maybe their shells are to thin? Who knows...

We visited touday the Bahai gardens in Haifa
It is a wonderful wonderful place!
This pic are not mine, my DW photographed in a camera and I didn't yet download it to my comp. So here som pic. From the net!

Awesome pictures. Great day.

I love places like that. When I see them, I just have to wonder how many gardeners it takes to do something like that.

Nope! Only bright spot was it was the last night of the season. The drunk / team mate & I got into it when he started screaming at the top of his lungs for no reason other than being a loudmouth drunk, disrupting everyone in the place, as is his habit. I told the team captain I've had all I can stand, and if Motormouth comes back next year, I won't. I hate to leave the rest of the team, some of which I've bowled with longer than anyone else in all the years I've bowled, but I can't put up with his obnoxious behavior any longer, and won't. We'll have to wait & see where it goes from here.
I sponsored the team when I was in the lawn care business; been together 10+ years.

Sounds like a plan.
Since pool is played in bars, one would expect obnoxious drunks but there is very little of that. The Missouri 8 rules play a part. Talking while people are shooting is frowned upon. You're only allowed to speak with a single teammate twice during your game. These guys are way too serious for me but I'm enjoying my first ever pool league.
Tomorrow is our second bye week of the pool season. Then 2 weeks left. If we stay in sole possession of first place, we can avoid the playoffs and go straight to tournament play.

I hate cats lol

...

I think cats are amazing. I love INDOOR housecats. I hate outdoor cats. They have no safe harbor here.

Have you tried coffee grounds before?

Not yet but I will, thanks for the tip. The ants are really a problem here.

Stop messing with them. How are you going to feel when if she squishes one?

10 hours at least If not more

I'm confused. Do you have x-ray vision? How can you see if eggs are pipping under a setter?

You tell us that you know what you are doing. However, if you keep moving setting hens off of their eggs, you clearly DON'T know what you are doing. A setting hen knows more about incubating eggs innately, than you will ever know if you do it your whole life.

I get pretty good hatches with broodies. (sadly none have gone broody yet this year) But, I never touch the hen or eggs. She sits, I keep food and water available and in 3 weeks, I get chicks. It really is that simple. I've never candled an egg under a hen.
