Only what Dearest Sally tells me to know.

she don't expect much outta me. As long as I can stay logged in so I don't have to try to remember my password, she said that's good enough.

That's why I have that clicky thing in my signature, so I can know what she tells me to know. She must know you to well then.

I am apparently not the nice person I thought I was.
I am so very sorry to anyone I have been mean to.

Lol she said I could stay around as long as I know nothing and don't give advice. I'm a little slow and my helmet is to tight.

At day 7 you should be fine with having some a little on the small side and some on target. People will incubate all different colored eggs successfully together so the dark brown one isn't a loss until it doesn't hatch. I would try to keep the humidity right around the 30% mark and candle them again either day 10 (for the smaller ones) or day 14.

Thanks! So I just stuck the hygrometer in there and its off by a degree. Its 26% in there. I will add a tiny cap of water and see how that does.

Sounds like a smart lady to me. Probably why she trys to keep me on the porch.

You're welcome. Stop back in if you ever have any more questions or just want to chat.

Well, Mr. Tucker's got himself a reprieve, at least for now.

Before DW went back to work, I was asking her about the controls on her new stove so I could get the hot water ready. She asked if I planned to "do the deed" today. I told her I was as soon as the water got hot enough. Then I let her talk me into holding off, at least for the time being, and start carrying a stick with me in the run in case he decides to try me again.

I know y'all think I'm only delaying the inevitable, and maybe / probably I am, but I've been sitting here thinking about it all day & most of last night since our little "encounter", and haven't felt at all comfortable with the finality of it all. I drove a lot of miles to get him, and have since invested a lot of time in him, and if I end it all now, I'll be that much longer getting the darker eggs that started this operation to begin with. Not that darker eggs are better than any others; I've known all along that isn't the case, but I happen to prefer them, and as long as I'm housing & feeding the producers of those eggs, why not try to get the results I want, the quickest way possible? Besides all that, I fell in love with him the first time I laid eyes on him; I thought he was a strikingly beautiful animal then, and I always will, regardless of the cause of his demise. Anyway, is it really his fault that he's protective of his little harem of redheads, or that his testosterone level is high? Isn't that the case with most males in their prime, regardless of species?

Okay, I admit it; I'm really a big softy about animals. That's just me, & I can live with that.

To be continued....

Yeah I think she's very smart. I think I gave her my password incase I forgot it. And I have forgotten it. But as long as I don't screw up and log out, I should be ok.
