awwww super cute!

Someone just said they couldn't imagine me in a convertible.
I'm not in this one 'cause I took the picture, but she was my 1st car.
'59 Ford Galaxy 500; white w/turquoise & white interior, white power top,
chrome skirts, 352 ci V-8

Sweet car whites!!

Well, it's the end of day 21, and there were 3 eggs doing nothing, so I picked up 1, no signs of life. 2nd one I picked up was chirping. I chipped a little shell from where I expected it to pip, and there was it's beak. I picked a bit more shell and saw a TINY bit of blood, so I stopped. I wet the membrane and dropped it back into the bator. I didn't bother checking the 3rd. Seems there is still a bit of life in there.

I pulled a total of 12 dry fluffy ones out today. Hopefully, I'll get at least 2 more..

Here are the first 11, sorry it's blurry.



And this is feeding time in our fish tank. Our platys are breeding and the plants are out of control, so there is plenty of places to hide. So, now we have WAY, way too many platys. The Kissing Gouramis don't care about them. They don't even eat the babies.

yay chickies, wow that is a lot of fish!, if it was me id feed them to my ducks lol

MIA!!!! I am on vacation!!! first day too!!! YIPPPIEEEEESSSSS



LIZ!!! GREAT NEWS!!! you go woman!

Thanks sally!!
have fun on your vaca!!!

Aha! I know the peeeerfect solution! Get more ducks!

ROFL!!!

Birthday brownie

Yummers!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

I'm now able to tell by touching the eggs if they are the right temp or not... Maybe I'm possibly starting to maybe figure this hatching thing out!!!

kinda like a mom can feel a fever lol

Happy 4th of July everyone! Have a safe weekend!

You too Cynthia!!!

Thank you, but there are two.
Getting worried that my hatch is a bust. Still no action in the bator since last night. Hope I didn't mess up opening to get to the first one taken care of. Think next time I will leave them in the turner too. Had 10 good ones at my last candle.

Ok, we talked about Barred Rock vs Dominique earlier. Here are my girls:



Dom:



BR:




We also talked about my barred EE mix - turns out it has fluffy yellow feet....so I have no idea what it is...I think it's a he - and he is going through a tough teenage awkward stage.






My silkie frizzle has been named Phyllis Diller....





And yes, I am SO jealous of everyone that these BEAUTIFUL green yards. We have a dry dirt lot. Water restrictions prevent me from growing anything. I didn't even plant a garden this year. I am the process of refinancing and am going to get a little bit of cash out of it - I using that money to dig a well. Hopefully, we'll have some greenery for the chicks to enjoy then!

Happy hatching everyone!

i can see the diff in your two birds lol
and the rest are cute!

Five gallon bucket while showering. It got to the point here people would complain about their shower elbow. Sore elbows from hauling water out. Or using shower water to flush. We are still not out of the woods water wise. Even though it did rain more than in the past few years.

that doesnt sound like fun at all

The cars now with fuel and other regulations are all boring looking. Nice car whites.

AGREE!! they are so boring, and all PLASTIC

Once upon a time, I was out with a bunch of bikers, and an older woman happened to say happy birthday to her husband. I stood up, and told the entire group of bikers that they had to sing to him. The poor guy almost had a heart attack while 30 or so bikers sang happy birthday!

Awesome!!

Thanks Dax....she was an attention getter, for sure...what I'd give to still own her

want to buy a camaro? lol i have one

Thinking the same with ours. Oh well.

camaro anyone??

Thanks. Asked for brownies due to all the talk of brownies here.

That would have been fun to watch/sing along.

you gave in to peer pressure??? lol , hope your day was awesome!!!

I get that, especially with bears and cougars about. A grizzly killed a mountain biker at Glacier National Park a couple days ago.
Bears were supposedly extirpated from Missouri in the early 1900s but on several occasions we saw tracks on our farm in the 60s. I also saw 2 cubs running up the hill as I was approaching the creek that crossed the farm.
I also saw a cougar there around the same time, which the Dept. of Conservation claimed weren't in MO.
They now say there are between 350 and 500 bears in the southern half of the state with a healthy breeding population. And they now acknowledge there are cougars scattered across the state.
There was even one caught on a trail cam in St. Louis county a couple years ago.
Over the last 30 years I had cougars come into my camp at night. Once on the Current river and another on the Gasconade.
My family was staying in a Mayan hut on the beach in the Sian Ka'an UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. One night a Jaguar was on the thatched roof clawing away trying to get in before I chased it off.


two 40s may work for a cooler that size.
the heat element in a little giant is 40 watts.

they try to tell us we dont have mountain lions here, but i have seen them a couple of times (very scary)

thanks!

Good morning Banti! Have action in my bator again finally! Was worried last night and hubby started making me feel like I am doing it all wrong. Can't wait till he wakes up and sees it. Should make him read Sally's hatching tips and tell him to stow it. Actually told him he can run the quail hatch since he has all the information from watching one TV show.

good luck to him! lol

Ohhhh boy hubby is up, there goes my time on here. Crap. Have a great one I will try to get pics of any hatchery today. The other two are doing good. The first one with the yoke issue is smaller but up and moving. Loud lil stinker too. Eating and drinking well too.

so glad the chick is doing better! have a great day!!

So if I understand correctly the logic then:
If pen birthday = Christmas
Then
Pen=Jesus??

ROFL!!!!!

Just noticed a single small beginning of a pip. Locked down yesterday, due the 4th, Expected an early hatch;temp ran a tad warm from go.

Well, MCC, I am so glad you asked!
I will probably mess with the tire swing yet again. My oldest sister says that I really need to try it out You know? To be sure it is safe!
I need to check the rafters for pullet eggs. That is going to be fun. I am sure there will be a lot of poop up there! Then I will see if I can't successfully block access this time.
I have to wash out the unused feed pans, and be sure which duckling is Christopher, and which is Banti.
Hmmm... That is all the fun stuff. I will also put the inside brooding supplies away. You know? Because with two girls on eggs, there is no way I will have to incubate the last few eggs or brood an oddball chick.

sounds like a busy day! good luck!!

My chickens only come running for a cottage cheese container in my hand, cause that's the treat container, anything else gets ignored.

mine come running for me and my daughter no matter what,

Good morning!

Good Morning ABI!!!!!

Heck I still have to try the cinnamon rolls in the waffle iron

me too!! hopefully tomorrow morning

I was afraid Chaos was going to kill me. He still may.

why is he going to kill you? Want me to beat him up??

Good morning all!

Not bad, only 100 posts behind. And my multi post came through all jumbled together with no identifying info.

Around midnight, last pip came out with yolk not absorbed. I put it in a bowl with a damp paper towel and this morning it's still alive, but not moving much, and it is still in the bowl. I doubt the paper towel is still damp. I don't think it will make it.

Other than that, It's another work day for me. I don't have to go in to the office, and it's not an official work day, so I have some freedom to do other things.

Happy Hatching everyone!

Happy Birthday Chaos!!!!

good luck on the chick!!! have fun at work lol

I'm getting out of here, too. Got to get a longer spade bit to get through 8 1/2" of material.
I could use an exra pair of hands attached to someone who knows their way around basic carpentry. Any volunteers.
Don't all jump at once! Plenty of work to go around.

umm i have hands, and can tell the tools apart does that count??

Morning Liz. Shower water wasn't fun. The water company wanted everyone to save water Now that we did I hear they are going to raise the rates to make up for lost income. Brownies were yummy peer pressure good in this case.
