OK everybody, I'm baaaaack. Took a few days off to move. Just got internet and TV back up. It's been a lot of fun catching up on this thread. Everyone is so nice and helpful. For those of you wanting faces to go with names......
Here's me- (I'm the one on the right LOL)
I am a 1958 model too Mahonri..... 2 kids, and 5 grandkids
I was supposed to get some Silkie eggs from Bob (Bad Azz silkies), but he is moving soon too, and his hens will probably not be laying in December. So I am back to square 1. Looking for eggs to incubate.
My own hens are on strike too since we moved. They may be laying again by then, but I have no way of collecting eggs before they freeze. I leave for work at 6 am and don't get home until 4:30. By that time they are pretty well frozen. Any suggestions?
I may be cruising the auction sites too. I have Thanksgiving Silkies due to hatch tomorrow. I didn't even realize it til today, I put them in lockdown a few days ago.
I have to drive 1 1/2 hours into the city tomorrow to get some things out of a storage locker there. that will be a good distraction/alternative to pug-nosing the incubator all day
Happy Hatching Everyone
