No 1 was too hard on me and I'm definitely not scared off the comments are very amusing ,but I don't think I have enough sarcasm in me or time to reply to them all.
I kinda knew some of the replies I would get from a post like that I just didn't think this many lol as for bs tactics I said MOSTLY being silly I will not use my sarcasm as an excuse to apologize, and I was definitely defintely not being cruel. Would I change my post from this morning?..... NO WAY! I got a lot of solid answers and some very entertaining ones.
Thank you all and keep'em c'mon

Lol.....the #1588 is a tabletop incubator. Pipping is when the chick pokes the first little hole through the shell when they hatch. I have 15 on lockdown( the last three days before hatching when you stop turning the eggs.). They are due to hatch tomorrow, so this one is a little early

Oh! You people and your crafty numbers!

Congrats and I hope you have lots of healthy pips and hatches! (what are we hatching?)

Also, now I want pizza.

It is funny... I imagine Eeyore and Olive to be sisters.

If you are not... you should be!

Juise, Vj, Bianca, BabiGyrl are my new best friends...

Raz is that guy next door that you are not sure if he really is a bad a** or a big softy... but we know the truth

Especially after all those duck photos... You better jump on that Harley and ride to the beer store again! Or maybe the creepy uncle...

Chicken Gandma is just that... grandma to all... Except I don't think you are old enough to be a grandma.

Mom2em is just so...

Opa... is the best grandpa... but you respect/ fear him cause he could give ya a whoopin.

I have missed a lot of you but I am not sure yet where you fit in this BYC world in my head...

On a completely different note I just watched a house wren chase a dragon fly! It was so neat! Almost like a dance! The dragon fly got away

.

for the bird... he can go to the feeder though!

Really? I think Raz is the guy that makes me want to get better blinds

Oh and Olive and I are related by Goose, only.

Well... I told my niece to take some pics and send them to my mail, so I could share the day's progress... Oh, I am good. I am, I am. At what... well I haven't a good clue. BUT, good at something. LOL

I still have to coat all the bottom boards..., but am not going to do that till I get the trim I want. THEN I will stain it before putting it in place, so no crap! ALSO, there is ventilation on the A-Frame. The roof overhangs quite a bit, like a foot, and then there is a half wall. In the winter, it will be covered with plastic... BUT, here is the almost finished product...





The roofing looks funny there, because at the last minute I decided to put the shingles all the way across the top... And the actual roof sits a bit higher than the run part. Also, the walk up and the inside half wall have been painted green.


And the staining/painting in process on the big coop.

Oooo, goody. I think you gave Raz pretty short shrift, LOL, and Mom... what? haha

Nova, Your skills of a builder astonish me.

I did a lot of hoeing today. Hoed it up all day long. My 4 year old wanders over me at some point to say, "Mama, why on earth are you chunking up all over the place?" Lol, what?

I explained to her what I was doing, something she has helped do the last few years, it totally is not foreign to her, and she replies, "THE WHOLE BED IS IN A PANIC!!" Yeah... I can tell she was listening to every word I said.

 

[EeyoreD]

Wow Nova that's an amazing setup!!

Blue orpingtons and American paint silkies this week. Blue/black/splash Ameraucanas and more blue orps next week. Using another bator as a hatcher so I can stagger the hatches

How do I change my screen name to Number Four?

I dare you!!!

And turkey. And duck. And five fingers. And you once glanced at my husband's junk wondering whether or not he had a rash there. At this point I think we've more in common than me and my real sisters. Because, honestly? I've glanced at his junk and wondered the same.

Well... I told my niece to take some pics and send them to my mail, so I could share the day's progress...

You've got quite the poultry condo coming along there!

Tell us something we didn't know.

Well, did some work in the garden, washed and refilled water troughs, did chores, burned a bunch of bee boxes* and -- best of all -- convinced DH that Mother's Weekend has already begun.

Now sitting on the deck with a beer, waiting for him to bring me a chicken chimichanga. Life is good!


* Relax, bee keepers, they're oh, el, dee... OLD. Back in the day someone used to keep about 20 hives (is that what you call each tall stack, thing? A hive?) out in our woods. They've long since been abandoned and I'd previously pulled a bunch of the boxes out and used them in the garden, as rustic decor, etc. These ones were in bad shape so I pulled them out of the garden -- where they'd been used as planters -- and we had a bonfire.
