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

[Fire Ant Farm]

@FireAntFarmer weren't you asking about potable water hoses?
I ended up getting three 50' hoses from HD delivered. If memory serves, they were about $19 ea. and free shipping. I ended up being about 15' short. I then went to Lowe's to get a short one. They had 25' hoses for $20. But I found a single 100' drinking water safe, lead free, BPA free, blah, blah, blah hose on the shelf with no price. It was $35 but not a stock item and was discontinued. I told the young guy working the department my dilemma. I only needed 15' but wondered whether it was wise to spend $20 on 25' when I could get 100' for less than double. He said, since it was a non stock item he'd mark it down to $20. So I now have 250' of drinking water safe hoses for less than $80. Counting all the rest of the hose I have well over 600' of hose. I won't have to buy any again as long as I live here. The nonsafe hoses are heavy duty professional hoses too. A few have repair sections so any that are iffy with bulges, I may toss.

Oh, geez, there's someone called FireAntFarmer!

That's a great deal! I got some online, and haven't gotten the chance yet, but hope to set up some automatic waterers...

HINT: never add up how much money you have spent on eggs, chicks and supplies.......

Oh, I'd NEVER do that. I might never recover from the shock...

Mmmm I think that I insulted , un intentionally! , a member of BYC in another thread.
I said to her that the meaning in Hebrew, of her dog name is -Gonorrhea. ..........

Two words: SUPER SOAKER. I've got Dumbledore so well trained now that we go weeks between any HINT of a dominance stance.

Just dropping in to say hi to everyone, hope everyone is doing great, and then to say goodnight. I don't have enough hours in the day any more, but I'm still hammering away at everything. Progress with the new coop slowed down this weekend, but I got in what time I could between showers and thunderstorms. I've devoted far too much time towards building a deck, when I needed to be working inside and putting up wire for the pen. Fortunately I should be able to get a couple more weeks or so out of the brooder before I have no choice but to move the chicks. They're 5 1/2 weeks old now, and the do get to go out into a temporary mini-pen for fresh grass and sunshine every day. Caught a nice pic of them with their body guard this afternoon...



Time to hit the shower...

LOVE this picture!!!!!

Does this mean I will have golden eggs in the morning?

Yup!

OK, Gotta go take a bath then bed. Long day today.

7 hatched. Candles the 8th and no change shouldn't have set it. Lesson learned.

The face of an angel...pretty eyes that shine;
I lie awake at night wishing you were mine.
I'm standing here holding the biggest heartache in town
Whenever you come around.

I get weak in the knees, and I lose my breath.
Oh, I try to speak, but the words won't come...
I'm so scared to death.
And when you smile that smile, the world turns upside down
Whenever you come around.

I feel so helpless...I feel just like a kid.
What is it about you that makes me keep my feelings hid?
I wish I could tell you, but the words can't be found
Whenever you come around.
I get weak in the knees, and I lose my breath.
Oh, I try to speak, but the words won't come...
I'm so scared to death.
And when you smile that smile, the world turns upside down
Whenever you come around.

Bippity boppity boo!

Good morning, Canada!

I just looked in my mug. I honestly thought the coffee fairy would have refilled it.

I am not kidding.

The Super Soaker's still on the nesting box roof, where it's been, unneeded, since the day it arrived, which is fine by me.
