I see you didn't run out of wit! Those explanations were hilarious!

My broody that was a week behind our hatch was a good little incubator and hatched me out 3 more chicks... an EE, a NN and a NN/leghorn (cause we all know what I really needed was more chicks):

She's a very pretty GLW!

Oh, and like *I* need to incubate any more eggs???? Puh-lease! The absolute ONLY saving grace is that not all of them will hatch!

Hi, I'm checking in from the wintry land of Georgia ......Sorry I've been away for so long. Semis are stuck yesterday and now two days of emergency. It's crazy and dangerous on the road and the land. At the farm we have had about 7 inches of snow and now the ice is sheeted with it. We have some hills that I literally am fashioning some homemade ways to cross them to get to the animals. We will see if tennis raquets tied to shoes help or hurt! Yesterday we literally got on our hands and knees to get to the animals. We're hand carrying roughly 350 gallons of water, I quit counting after 300. Life is a hard adventure. I'm glad not to be stuck on the roadways though and near home. Okay enough for excuses!

I wanted to post a picture of our babies born on Jan. 4 and Jan. 5......too late for qualifying for the hatch, but I think they are pretty. The lavendar ones are our lavendar orpingtons (from the lavendar pen) and were custom hatch for a customer and the others are little Babies for The Garry Farm!

For those of you who have won the Garry Farm Certificates, please let me know which of the eggs you want. I'm a little backed up on egg ships due to storm but will work with you to get the eggs YOU Want, granting that we experience a great thaw out and I can get these orders back filled. So will you all pm me? I'll pm you back our phone number which you can also find on the how to contact page of our website. (In case the power goes out).....

Again and again, thank you Mahonri, the judges, Chookschick, all the participants. I've read much of the postings. I've rejoiced, wept with joy and sorry and prayed and hoped with you all.

I posted somewhere on this epic topic our listings.....but here they are again....Hope I don't leave any of the flocks out.

I'll amend after coffee if I forgot anyone! God bless you all. It's time to start getting ready for the adventures of the day. Praying it will be a day without injuries to animals or their human caregivers. Yesterday hubby fell hard but is moving. I pulled my back but we're moving...After this storm I'm buying sports shoes with cleats so I can grab the ground! Have a blessed and happy day! Love, hugs and prayers to all! Nancy and of Course Hubby Jac (He lets me live my farm dream!)
