"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

[Ron Skekel]

What is the orust like? Is it friendly?

The hens are friendly to everyone . The roosters need to be handled when chicks by everyone that will care for them and they are fine. Now I cared for mine as chicks my husband did not. If he goes in there pen the rooster will try to spur him.. I can go in right after and they leave me alone. You can tell when they are getting agitated their comb turns dark red to a violet color. The hens are the sweetest birds. Pam

They're back!!! My son has a friend who's a cop down in Plaquemines Parish. We give him rabbit, coons, deer and wild hog meat all the time. Also fish we shoot bowfishing. He's black and knows everyone on the East Bank. Well, he has seen Jake and Frazzley in action. He was amazed by them!!

Anyway, as my son was telling him about the missing dogs, the expression on his face looked like he almost knew something. My son didn't ask specific questions, he just told the cop that he wasn't interested in pressing charges. He just wanted the dogs back. The cop Ricky, must have spread the word.

Well, today we were building a floating dock and guess who comes dragging in? Jake and Frazzley!!! I tell ya the truth, I was so happy I could have done backflips if I weren't old, fat, crippled up and uncoordinated. It appears they were in a pen with other dogs because there is some bite holes in various places. Neither one is gonna back down from a grizzly bear. They'll fight!

So, they've been cleaned-up, patched-up and hugged to the point of exhaustion. My 4 YO grandaughter has been mothering over them since their return. And, I think she is more excited about them being inside than the dogs are! I think my DIL is now willing to let them live inside from now on. Everyone was so devastated by their disappearance that DIL is softened-up. I think she was grieving their loss as much as the grandson and I were.

Thanks everyone for the kind words, PMs and y'alls sympathy.

Did y'all find any sign they were attacked ? I wouldn't give up with out evidence . They may have chased something so far that were lost or someone picked them up. I do know you have had coyotee problems there. I would still call the pound. Put signs up ect.. I hope you are suprized and find them. Pam

Hey Ms. Pam. You must have ESPN!!! LOL!!!

We believe the cop spread the word that many people were on the lookout fo these two dogs. That was some perfect advice! It was killing me to watch my grandson grieve for those dogs. Your post was absolutely correct but, I had pretty much given up hope.

We are thinking little Frazzley may be pregnant by Jake. If so, I'm getting a puppy to bring into my house. No one who's ever known me would believe I have gotten this attached to a dog. Much less dogs that don't even live with me!

I mentioned before that my brother raised field trial champion Labs and beagles all of our lives. It's not like I've never been around good dogs.

Again, thanks everyone for the support. Ray

My incubator is holding a steady humidity of 30%. This is the "dryest" I can currently get. And, this without one drop of added water.

What do y'all think of this number? This is my first attempt at the "dry hatch method". It is not easy to change something you've been doing for a long time. Especially for an old guy.

30 isnt a bad # by my standards at all, more important than numbers IMO, watch the growth of the air cell. If you trace them while candling on days set 7, 14, and 18 then post pics, I would help you judge your moisture loss.
