Wow... it didn't take me forever to catch up after my nap... like it normally does.

Looks like our Easter Hatchers have a life on Friday nights! Woot.

Joke of the day:

It seems Virgil and Lucille, bonafide rednecks (like me), had just had their 9th child.

So they showed up at the country doctor's office and Virgil tells the doc, "Doc I need to get myself fixed!"

The Doc's known Virgil since he was nigh unto a pup and he says, "But Virgil, you are only 35 years old and you've only had 9 children!"

Virgil: "I know Doc, but it's time now, I've got to get myself fixed!"

So Doc gets Virgil undressed and into position and finally, curiosity killed the cat...

Doc: "Virgil, I don't get it, why do you wait until Lucille's had your 9th child, and then you come to me to asked to get fixed?"

Virgil: "Well Doc it's like this, t'other day Lucille and I were watchin' this news reporter on the TeeVee, and he was saying that 1 in every 10 children born in the United States is a Mexican, and Doc, neither Lucille nor I speak a lick o Spanish... don't dare take a chance, do I?"

In AZ it's one in every 8....

guess I've given one or two too many "big hugs".....

I talked to my mom and she calmed me down. Dad has decided that we're going to free range my little white game roo when he gets older. Doesn't bother me one bit. He almost died on me the other night and I got attatched to him then. He's so cute and funny. Now to find him some pretty girls.

Perhaps read the LG thread. Many of use do pretty well using the LG to hatch. You might find answers to your problems there.

Thanks for the link! I will check it out.

It would really be ideal if I could get it working. I figured I just had a faulty one.

Thanks Ron, that is very interesting information. I had some really bad hatches from some shipped eggs with really disrupted air cells last year, and hope to do a little better this year.

Are you in Hope Hull, Alabama? Ope! I just found you on the map, HOWDY Neighbor! Now we have three from Alabama! If you are going to be in Tuscaloosa next week, I'll share some barnyard mix eggs!

Hey cool. No the farthest north I'll be is the Millbrook/ Prattville area.
