Interesting name ...

Gorilla Snot is a brand of glue construction workers use.

CC- My sister's nickname is STILL ButtNugget. But I really like the name "Crustache" Mind if I use it?



It's warm outside again, so Sir Barfsalot is NekkidKid again. we went camping last weekend, and the DH had to teach the boys how to poo in the woods.

Well NekkidKid was STOKED about the whole process, which was a relief, except I just busted him out in the middle of the yard--with a group of chickens around him waiting expectantly--poppin' a squat. *le sigh*

At least it wasn't on the carpet.

So if Saturday noon is due time, when might we expect some rocking and rolling - assuming the incubation went smoothly? Will they start tomorrow to finish by Saturday or do they start Saturday? (I'm dying here ....

the wait is KILLING me!)

You could see rocking and rolling today or tomorrow. You could see pips tomorrow. I am expecting to see some pips tomorrow. Sometimes I point a flashlight on just one egg and I can get it to move. Try it, sometimes it works and it gives you a ray of hope.

Non-medicated feed. OR, if you are training weeders, just go outside and pick lots of weeds like grass, clover, dandelion, etc. (I am going to train mine as weeders this year)

Right now my brooder set up is a heating pad, covered with a pillow case, placed in a cardboard box. For the momma chick feel I tossed in an old stuffed critter, which holds the heat down and gives the chickies a snuggly feel. Guess everything should be cleaned before the next batch hatches on Saturday...

Just cut my first artichokes of the year from the garden. Be jealous.


The BWA chick is out of the shell. Good GRAVY those chicks are huge. I have been hatching banties too long.

I am!!!! You have NO idea. I'm still waiting for the snow to quit this year. Long, long, LONG, winter here and spring just doesn't seem to want to spring. (Although I did plant a pear tree this morning. A hopeful act on my part!)

We have 5 boys and I totally know what you are talking about.. It's pretty bad when you find out AT CHURCH that one of your boys was peeing on the neighbors lawn.... I'm sure when we get moved out to the 10 acres, it will just happen more often..

OMG!! Tawny is ButtNugget? That's our cat Weasel's nickname...along with Mudflap...derived along the same lines, unfortunately. I don't recommend cleaning dried diarrhea from a long-haired, 30# cat's posterior.

good times...

Thanks! Often, the husbands (he has to be plural to keep up with me) complain about the facetiousness our offspring display, but it's entirely our own fault. Everyday conversation is peppered with cynicism, irony, and horrific wry humor, but as optimists, it's a rather interesting roar to be subjected to it...I feel for those poor girls! I feel even more for the poor young men destined to be their future husbands...can you imagine me as your MIL??!?
