I video some of my hatches through the window of my hova-bator and I will talk through the whole thing. With my southern accent I make Forret Gump sound sofistigated.{sp}

OMG!!! You have no idea what kind of a FIT I would have to deal with if I got rid of any of Cris's pets?? He loves that little guy to death! (Horton is the piggy in my siggy by the way, for those of you who don't know!...Hey, what'd'ya know? I'm a poet!

)


ETA: Ok, I just figured out the piggy is not in my siggy, he would be my avatar!

Not as poetic as I thought!

I have given up on chicken eggs for the winter. I have had no luck with them in the last month or so. I think it's just too dry. I am probably gonna be done hatching after these ducks are done. My spare bedroom is full of babies already, and I still have eggs cooking! I don't have anyplace to put them!

I couldn't resist when I saw Hortan in your avatar. I gotta get me one. I do beleive things happen for a reason its just they always end up at my house. lol

I had been talking a couple of days ago about what I might hatch next since all three of my bators are off. All the old man said was "Where you gonna put them?"lol No emotion or anything. I do have both my brooders in the snakeroom right now. Its the warmest room in the house. You should see all these babies when one of our eight rattlesnakes starts rattling. Every biddie in the house stands perfectly still.lol I'm thinking to wait until Jan. to start up again and hopefully our coldest temps will go bye-bye soon after. Maybe we will have an early spring.

Tell cris to give Hortan an extra hug for me. I can't wait to ge me one. Take care.
