Whew....I am finally here. I had to work today and was so wiped out I had to take
a nap. I may make it to midnight now.

DH is at the neighbors party. I was too stinkin' tired to go....plus I wanted to be here

.

He spent all day slow roasting one of our pigs for the party. The music is always
good there. Neighbor was the lead in a big blues band for many years. He made
lots of CD's and toured the world. Once he had kids he started teaching middle
school and became a chicken and pig farmer like us

. Every New Years he gets as
many of his original band members who can make the trip together along with some
good local guys, and puts on a bash.

Hmmmm....I think I'll just open the window and listen to see if they've gotten
cranked up yet. DH left me some pork loin slices....mmmmm.

It's taken me a while to catch up with you yackety yaks.

Kathy...a few pages back I was talking to the screen...wait!!
don't hatch yet. Now I'm tellin those chickies who've pipped...
"Hurry up and zip... you SLACKERS" win the 5500 post prize for Ms Kathy

YAY ! ! ! You are here! We are doin' great! 5 are hatched and 4 more pips so far!

You know, for as much hell as those hatchlings were raising in the incubator, you stick them in a brooder and all they do is sleep.

Temps after lock down don't really make that much difference. By then they are already producing a lot of their own heat. Lower temps earlier in the hatch make a lot more difference.

They were fighting to get out of there, now they're tired and comfy. Makes sense to me.
