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

[EnnisLakeFarm]

Okay I cleaned out DS3 and DS10 closet and came up with at least two bags of clothes for the Goodwill. And I got dinner started and a load of laundry going. Can I come and read and drink my cup of coffee for a while now?

Half of bale gone 125# big bale they dont get breakfast.... but luckily they didn't get into chicken feed. Funny those two didn't even ask to be fed. he know the game.
She was raised in the front yard on goats milk, And everyone spoiled her rotten. She is 16 hands now and a brat. This is her and her second foal 3 years ago

Sueg, I bet after you went in the house, the mare was all calling your front yard rooster a tattletale. LOL What was the damage when you went outside this morning?


Here is my obsessive incubation question for you experts:

The kids will be on spring break and the school will be closed from day 11 to day 19. The director has agreed to meet me at the school a few times to let me in so that I can add water and check on the eggs (not that there's much checking I can do). I'm contemplating taking the eggs home on day 10, and then bringing them back on day 19 so that way I don't have to inconvenience both the director and I by going in multiple times while the school is closed (I figure I'll need to add water every 3 days or so- that's how often the one little well goes dry). I have a brinsea mini advance, and it always goes right up to temp within 15 minutes. Drive is 15 minutes, so it wouldn't be a huge interruption if I did take them home. Should I leave them at the school for spring break, or take them home?

I feel that I do need to add water occasionally because the ambient humidity around here is only 20% or so, and if I keep one well of water in the incubator, that keeps the humidity in there around 30-35%.

oops! 3 kids 12, 10 and 3.
I would go for 4 but DH says NO WAY 10 would be out of the question

The incubator can - it was a power outage problem. The eggs are all lost. My children are just devastated.
