"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

Why I dyed the eggs, well because my father-law and I had put a combination of both our eggss in our bator and there where two perticular eggs that I knew where mine and wanted to keep. They where supose to hatch tonite or tomorrow while I'm on vacation, and that was the only way to identify those two. Plus he don't know that I did that so I should be getting a hilarious phone call this afternoon. They started hatching 36 hours earliier than expected. But none of my blue ones hatched before I left, and u just twist a drill bit between your fingers about 1/2in from center of small end of egg and carefully with a seringe Inject 1/2cc of food color and seal hole with perifin wax.

Aw that's too bad! I feel so sorry for the poor geese! Bless your heart for taking in the five that you did - at least they'll have a much better home & maybe they'll pay you back with SQ offspring. I'm glad you told her off -- she needed to hear that! I hope the right Sebastopols come along for you. When I had my white Chinese, I was surprised at all the myths people relayed to me as gospel truth about geese. It was almost comical. And people were always amazed that I could tell those "big white birds" apart -- well, yeah, I raised them from day olds & later on from eggs, I knew who was who!

I dont' think I've ever made a dime profit on my animals, but I have fun with them & that's the main point as far as I'm concerned!

I will have several dog kennels that I use for my chicken coops for sale later this fall. They have been safe for my chickens and I have used them for a few years. The only problems I've had with them was from my own dogs tearing into them. I don't have vicious predators right now, other than my dogs, that threaten my chickens. When I move I won't be able to use them because on our property we have numerous predator threats and I'll have to beef up my chicken pens. I've found these pens to be a fast and easy setup.

Send me a PM when you decide to sell and the price.

Thanks

I didn't tell her off -- I only thought it in my mind!! Boy, I wanted to though. Because I'm a teacher, I remind myself that I can't do those kinds of things because I'm supposed to be a "model citizen". That doesn't mean that I can't think it we the situation deserves it.

And yes, the same with my geese. Except for these new adults, I've raised all of mine from babies. My spring batch of babies are funny. They sit around my feet and wait their turn to be held. My first ones don't like me to hold them because I tried too many times to vent sex them when they were young. Now, they think I'm a pervert and don't want me to pick them up. So now, when they misbehave their punishment is that I pick them up and hold them and pet them for about five minutes.

Geez maybe I don't want a broody after all! what a headache!
Maybe you can give them all a bunch of golf balls & let them steal those back & forth!

That's a good idea.

OMG!!!!!!!!! So sorry to hear about your trip. And so sorry for those geese. That lady sounds like a whack job. Bravo to you for being courteous and showing your true Southern manners. She surely could have learned from you. I hope that you didn't have to drive too far.
