But if you loose your voice you can't talk?

That's Why I keep it in a safe place so I won't lose it.

And if you forget the safe place you are keeping it in?

My proof is that I can always talk to Somebody but Nobody ever listens.
You can't prove that Nobody did something though.

Nobody listens to me....

I can't? Well, what if I told you Nobody was the stand-in for Somebody because Somebody was off making trouble for you?

Give it up, Bubbles, unless you have a brick to smack him upside the head with. That's the only way he's gonna understand  

Wanna drive to PA and smack him for me?

Hello all. Here comes another newby! I thought I would try to catch up from the beginning, but you all are just too far ahead of me and I have a question and can use a bit of encouragement.
I set 18 Ancona duck eggs in my Incuview on June 8. This is the first time I have tried incubating. So far the temperature is holding steady at 99.5 but I am concerned that the humidity is running too high. I put only about a forth cup water in the outside tray and the added hydrometer is registering as high as 77% except if I open the lid for some reason. I don't know if there is any way to adjust the humidity. We are having rainy, wet, cool weather up here in northwest Washington State, so I wonder if that is part of the problem. Some on the duck forum talk about incubating at like 35% humidity, so I feel really concerned that I may be spoiling this hatch with these high humidities. Any help or thoughts will be so appreciated.
Also, I'm still 'old school' where things were spelled out. Can anyone give me a list of all the abbreviations used in the control module? The instruction that came with the Incuview do not give this info.

Welcome!!!

Good morning, beasy today! 25 family member coming for DD birthday BBQ party!

@DwayneNLiz How is the hatch coming? I have not had a chance to check back to the livestream. Mobile page 3739 for those interested has a quote with the link.

it is offline right now

Morning Mike. Came home to five eggs kicked out of nest yesterday. One in the baking sun hot to touch the other four in shade cold. All five have drawn down don't know how long they were out or if the hot one will do anything but I gave them back to one of the hens. We'll see.

good luck!!

That hen that's gone broody is still sitting tight, her wings spread out like a blanket, but I'm wondering if I should take her off the nest long enough to mark the eggs, and risk having her quit, It's been better than 2 days like that,and I haven't been able to catch her off the nest to poop or eat. She "growls" whenever I or another bird get too close,so I doubt she's let another bird lay an egg in her nest to this point.

The only other time one of my hens brooded, I didn't think to date any eggs, and she wound up with 12-15 eggs under her, none of which hatched.

I thought about putting her in a crate so the others can't get to her, but the only crates I have are too big to fit in the coop. I could crate her under the coop, or in the run, I guess.

Any suggestions?

mark them, wear an oven mitt

Duckling woke, jumped (it sounded like) out of bed, opened her door, and called, "baby!" Apparently I'm supposed to soothe her doll when she gets thrown on the floor.

lol, love toddler beds

NOT

I was wrong! She wasn't telling me about her doll, she was asking for the TV show!

ROFL!!!!

The frufru was given to me and I'm not one to turn away free coffee.

Both my kids drink it straight black as well.

This is true.

It comes with the territory.

arent they a little young??
never turn away free coffee always drink the free stuff first then your good stuff after

You should have come up with that idea before I finished the black

you should have turned your brain on
now go make more coffee

Give it up, Bubbles, unless you have a brick to smack him upside the head with. That's the only way he's gonna understand

LOL
