X2. No one can accuse me of anything if I'm on camera. Never bothered me.

IF (and that's a big if for me) the egg shape were to have anything to do with the sex of the chick inside (ie pointy egg=boy)......according to this linked thread the sex of the potential chick is determine by the mother. So if that IS true and IF a pointy egg is a boy, then the shape of the egg probably wouldn't be affected if it were fertilized by a rooster or not, since that wouldn't affect the sex of the chick. But I would have to experiment to see if the pointy egg thing is true.

It's definitely worth a look see. Try it

Update on the rooster: I have put some blu kote on there to prevent infection (Got my fingers and toes too), vet wrapped it, and put him in the chick run. He managed to get one of the two band aids off last night but the remaining one held enough for the wound to stick together. He is not feverish but is PO'ed about not being near his girls. He started crowing non stop in the house before I put the gauze and vet wrap on. He is walking and scratching like nothing happened so I take that as a good sign. His comb is still bright though he is not eating because he is so busy trying to get out to his hens. Thank you all for your help both here and on FB. I am hoping for a speedy recovery. He is going to have to travel with me for a few days as I don't trust my caregiver to replace the bandages regularly.

I know it's California, but it looked like a pretty cool chicken coop / rain water setup. Especially for those of you collecting rainwater.

My neighbors would fall down laughing if I built this.

I do have plans to do a rain barrel on my storeroom. But it's sure beautiful. My concern is they buried the wire 6" deep to keep out predators. Way not deep enough. But it's California, what do I know about their predators. Good job. CackedNut

CUTE story!

One of those laugh out loud moments.

I had typed him a LONG email but then I deleted it. I figured if he offered $4.00 a duck, he wouldn't understand my sarcasm.

I sure know how to attract them huh?

I'm still laughing at $4.00 a duck.

He doesn't deserve an answer. That's like people who make offers on houses that are half the asking price. The nerve.

One more funny story and that's it for me today.

I had contacted a lady about cleaning my house on a weekly basis because I am too tired and too busy to clean it myself and I HATE cleaning house. Well, she and I were emailing just fine back and forth and were about to set up a meeting so that she could come out and look at my house and give me a bid. Well, my last reply to her was informing her that I had a camera surveillance system that records activity on my property and was she ok with that.

Needless to say, I NEVER heard back from her.

I guess that saved me from being robbed.

But seriously, would recording cameras persuade any one of you from NOT taking a job? Am I missing something?

We have ELEVEN cameras where I work! so nope - doesn't bother me one bit!
