Mahonri's 3rd Annual, BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[Arielle]

It is a small world if you are talking about Utah

Living in Stockton right now (the picture I posted of the trucks sunk in the lake is Rush lake) I lived for about 10 years in Maine too. Loved it up there as a kid. Lived in Yarmouth at the time. Never got into eating lobster though.
ETA - after reading the rest of the posts, I realized you were talking about CA not UT. DOH! When I lived in Maine, we lived near Casco Bay and would get wonderful fog in the spring and fall. It would be very thick and it would smell like the ocean. Loved it. True meaning of fog as thick as pea soup.

Thanks for leaving more lobster for me!!

I miss the coastal air filled with the smell of the ocean. That salty air, thick as pea soup!!! Stood 30 feet off the high tide mark every day waiting for the school bus. ANd on some days the winds blew off the ocean. Man that was cold. Yup southern Mass is as warm as I can handle--the summers are too hot as it is.

Head hurts. You can guess why.

I took my mom out for her birthday to a local very posh hotel for a taster evening. Communal dining, seven courses, wines, fairly pricey per ticket. It was lovely, the company was great, the wine flowed, the food was experimental. I'm half dead. I hate hangovers.

Lovely dinner! Sorry about the hangover . . . . do try replenishing your body with water. In college I always drank a lot of water before going to bed after a frat party and was able to avoid a hangover. Try to get rehydrated.

Thank you Laree. I will keep my

that she will start laying in time. I have a feeling though, since we are only two weeks away from when I would need to set turkey eggs for this hatch, I will have to do a second hatch to get the poults. I don't think that Utah is going to warm up in the next two weeks. Darn the luck

Not really. Turkeys lay eggs seasonally: spring through fall. My turkey hens were laying for a while before they let the tom breed them. Yours may be ready to lay, but it is still too cold outside.

 

[Arielle]

My turkeys haven't started laying either.

 

[Mahonri]

Can you believe, I've NEVER had a hangover?

But I suppose you would have to drink something alcoholic for that to happen... and an ounce of Nyquil twice a year probably won't do that!



GOOD

!

I guess we will have to start another hatch-a-long after this one for the "turkeys" out there

So we got snow last night. Uggh. Heavy, wet, about 6 inches worth.

I made it out to the duck pen to let them out, but there's no way I'm getting out to the chickens right now. I'll have to give myself about an hour to get to work, and the chickens won't come out in it anyway until I shovel which won't be until tonight.

I tried to get a picture, and I had a nice one, but my stupid phone camera keeps crashing the phone and then deleting the picture it took.

Yesterday:



This morning:

Ha! The problem is not the phone, but that you have to leave for work way too early. That photo looks like night! It is actually kind of pretty with the branches all laden with snow, but my chickens hate it also. The run is covered, but it takes coaxing to get them out, even if they can only see the snow. I will take a photo, but can't post it until I am on the big computer. I do love California, but I would definitely miss the seasons. My only complaint about the Maine climate is blackflies! Although there seem to be less as the climate warms.

Too bad you all are so far away. I have four toms who have an excess of love to give, and not enough ladies to go around. They need a new home or a chopping block ASAP.
