You'll have a lot attention catching to do around here

You'd better believe it!

I knew I should have had coffee this morning.... Thanks!

LOL
Ouch! Did you have to put it in bold? My eyes......
Thank you! Now, I promote you to chief grammar corrector.

(Watch out, incorrect grammar coming up)

'cause yer too stoopid to know better?

You are doing well!

You are amazing! I can now retire in peace.

One down, one to go

Looks like you & @MotorcycleChick were right about broodies sometimes taking longer breaks in the early stages. I just went out & found her setting on her empty nest again, so I put the two eggs from earlier back in with her. She tried to eat me up again, so I guess she's more committed than I gave her credit for. I'll just mark new ones every day 'til she quits laying & see what happens. I might start candling 10-15 times a day, starting tomorrow; haven't decided yet.

You asked earlier what breed she is. All 5 of the hens are RSL's. They're not known for broodiness, as far as I know, but the single hen I had from my previous flock (also RSL) stayed broody from June-August last year. Unfortunately, I lost her earlier this year @ 3-4 yrs. old; found her dead in the coop one morning. I consider myself lucky to have had two go broody in as many years. I kept straight RIR's for years, and always had at least one rooster with them, but never did have one willing to set for more than a couple days.

Ahhhh, pretty good grammar here. Could use some work: no using this &!

Ewww, never mind, I hate coffee!

There, that's better!

They did it!!

I have been waiting for a long time to see if they would make this a feature. Now there will be DUCKS on BYC's homepage.

When I clicked there and was reading, I thought at first that POW meant prisoner of war and wondered, "Who keeps their chickens in prison?"

There's no hope for me!

Totally works great first three hatches but Motor creates hot spot by 3rd/4hatch it can't sustain hatches back to back&creates a hot spot in 3positions around Turner Moter.
Must HAND turn at this point requires 20-7survalence to cool spike spots&warm cold areas.

K, will keep in mind.

Good, air cells too small

Who's the other?

Alright, thx.

I am the other. I will never go down!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone ever successfully fixed a LG with a busted crosspiece on the lid?
-Banti

No, but, Banti!!!!!!!!! Not busted, broken!

You didn't throw it against the wall 'cause it wasn't working right did you?
What's the piece made of

ah, ah, ah, PUT A COMMA AFTER RIGHT! AND PUT A QUESTION MARK AFTER OF!

There's a shape you don't see every day.
The one on the right is the shape & size I normally get.
I've never before seen an egg shaped like the one on the left.
I'd never try to incubate it; there's liable to be a giraffe in there

I would try to hatch it just bc it looks weird! I don't think you're supposed to hatch those kinds of eggs, but ....

my broody is due to hatch her chicks out in a few days. I'm so excited!

The ends of your smile fell down

Now I've got the crazy song "Smile" (think that's what it's called, anyways) stuck in my head!

There ya go. All better now? Left you a couple extras in case you need some later

I have more; just ask if you run out.
