That's the second time you said that you're willing to lie in the last few days, right after telling me that you don't like liars, so you don't lie. Was that a lie?
I'm not on the list, but I have 147 emu and 376 ostrich in lockdown. The 43 penguins and 79 alligators go into lockdown Monday.

Actually both offers were within a much shorter time period. They were only offers and only to Bubbles because shes lieing to herself by trying to make everybody think shes a rodent small chicken. However if ya need some BS story made up to feed the authorities than I'm your guy. And I still don't like liars because trufax are always way easier to remember. Good morning.

One of my penguins hatched early, and ate an alligator.

I was referring to Whites a few days ago, and "Banti" once.
I need an alabi for last night.

Motorcyclechick why are you hatching all these exotic animals and do you hatch any other reptiles? I am a bit jelous that sounds really fun.

I have to hatch them because they can't hatch themselves.

Just last week I hatched some of these!

They are a special mix from Mississippi.
As for more reptiles, I will be hatching out some Loch Ness babies in April.

Just finished baking some spelt bread. I was actually worried about making it because if we don't like it it gets thrown to the chickens, but I was very surprised. The outside is lovely, crisp like French baguettes. The inside is almost cloudlike, just perfectly textured. If you guys ever get the chance to bake fresh bread, try spelt because it's definitely going to be our stock bread in this house.

I know now by reading previous posts my humidity in incubator was set too high. (I followed incubator directions!) But what do I do for my little chicks now? I am tempted to wash them off! How can they stay warm in a brooder if they don't fluff out?

Tao chick responded:
I have had this issue with the late hatchers too. They will fluff up in the brooder. Give them a full day, and any spots that are still real sticky try lightly brushing with a dry paper towel before you take any water to their fluff. I've never bathed a chicken before.

Thanks Tao!

I guess I just need some reassurance to leave them alone but it is soooooo difficult to stand back and watch these little guys. Still have 10 eggs that haven't pipped on day 23. Next time I am doing a dry incubation! Poor little guys look like they have been dipped in hair gel!
