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

[kvmommy]

I'm glad its normal for my daughter to do that! When I was 3 we drove from New Mexico to Oregon to see my Grandma. On the way my dad goes...Wow did you feel that chipmunk crunch? As he ran over it. He said I was really quiet and didn't talk at all til we got to the hotel and called my Grandma. I do remember this though...I got on the phone with her and started bawling and told her my daddy was a murderer. I guess I was a softie since I was little. My dad loved to hunt and always wanted me to go...I told him I'd go with a camera and shoot deer with a camera. He was disappointed. And I love fishing...but I went salmon fishing once and caught this huge salmon. I was so thrilled until the fishing guy took a huge club and started to beat its head and blood flew everywhere...I got sick and didn't fish the rest of the day. But boy that salmon was good. And one time when I was in the army, I went with a bunch of guy friends to one the guys ranch. After many beers, we got on the back of the ATV in the dark with a shotgun (not smart I know) and went out to shoot varmints. Everyone missed but me...I shot an armadillo and ended up crying for hours. The guys were so proud of me at first...then said no more girls at the ranch. LOL...I don't know why it bothers me so much. I've ran over a rabbit and a raccoon and bawled both times. Not sure this roo is for my consumption.

I hope he doesn't find his voice. I like it this way. I think its my barred rock mix. He is suddenly much bigger than the other two, and he's the one that bit me the other night that really hurt my feelings. None of them had ever been aggressive to me before, but maybe his hormones were starting to flow.

Wow! So much easier to catch up when there is only 24 unread posts.

Morning ya'all, it'0s about 25* outside this lovely morning. the sun was bright and cheery yesterday but our forecast says it's going to be in the 40's with some precip (snow, rain, snow mixed with rain

)

At least that's what hubby's phone says. I never look at the forecast, if I want to know the weather I look out the window.

When I went out after dinner last night (it's light till about 9 pm now) I could see that the ice had melted a bit and freed about 18' of the fence where I had shoveled the snow off.

I know it's not much but it's a start and I'll just keep working at it.

Thank you Kathy, and my granddaughter, the big sis of that baby helped mom make that quilt, and she actually put it in the fair.

Here's a pic with the crazy air cell. These were set on the 17th, but some of them have these huuuuggge air cells that dip. This is one of the smaller ones but the only one with a good pic. Some go almost all the way down the egg. But the embryos are alive. Any recommendations?

I get all kinds of wonky air cells. I don't do anything special with them and they seem to hatch okay for me.

X2 I haven't hatched a lot (not a "pro" like Kathy

) but I have had some air cells that looked like that too and it didn't seem to stop them from hatching.

Me too, except for the completely detached air cells most hatch just fine.

mine usually hatch just fine but I do put all ALL shipped eggs in egg cartons....shipped eggs are funny how but THOSE air cells like that almost ALWAYS hatch since they are bound to hit it no matter where they pip!
