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

[debs_flock]

I had two art projects going at once with a first grade. I explained that we needed to wait for our first paper to dry, and in the meantime, we could start cutting out these shapes. It was not long before a hand went up, asking "what is meantime?"
I wish I had time to write down all the funny questions they ask, or even better, the overheard conversations!

My son when he was little. We were play wrestling.
Me: You better stop or I'm going to hit you back.
Him: You better stop or I'm going to hit your back.

But don't leave out the elderly. My Mom during the Vietnam War, listening to the evening news.

"I think it's amazing how they train those gorillas to fight."

She always denied having said that, but I was there!

Thanks for that. I was confused by the difference in guesses. This sounds like a lot of fun. I hope I can participate in the hatch next year.

Here are the last of my 100 eggs set button quail eggs set yesterday.

Are you sure those are "button Quail" eggs. Looks like Courtinex. My button lay green eggs.

This was Posey on shearing day, nothing like a shave and a shower on a hot day! Maybe this is what attracts me to Showgirls?

That made me think of my Mom, rest her soul. We were watching Gaither Hour one day and in the middle of a sentence she said "Oh, look! There's Rex Nelon, he died. This must be a re-run."

I said, "I hope it is." I laughed so hard she got mad at me.

LOL, yes I always assumed I got my intellect from my Dad. You couldn't go to the grocery store for her. She spelled phonetically and mispronounced many things. You'd come home with half her list and a puzzled look on your face!

I lost my Mom a few years ago too.

Once as a kid my mom parked in a handicap spot and I said "mom you can park in a handicap spot!". To which she replied "anyone with four kids is considered handicapped". Now I was a kid and had no idea it was a joke. Fast forward a few months later and me and my sister are out shoping with my aunt and her 2 kids. She's going around the lot looking for a place to park, as we passed the handicapped spots (yeah you guessed it!) "Aunt Deb why don't you parke there?" "I can't it's a handicap spot" "Well mom says anyone with four kids is handicapped and you got four in the car right now!". I was dead serious, thought it was some kind of law I did!

Hey! Candling question. If I have dark and thick shelled eggs is there anything you can do to candle them? I tried using my El Cheapo (I that's a brand name in China or maybe it's a itsgonnabreaksoon?) LED flashlight with 9 LEDs. It was not bright enough to see anything. What are you successful people using?

Also, I'ver read that some of you are doing a turkey hatch next. How hard it is to hatch turkeys? Are they any different than chickens? Where could I procure turkey eggs from? I've only ever raised on, a broad breasted bronze. I'd love to try a midget white or six!
