I have 4 Pyncheons and a Langshan running around the bator playing kick ball with the other eggs looks like 4 more Langshan pipping and one almost zipped out. Nothing for the Araucana eggs yet just one come one just one little hen!

When I'm saving up eggs to incubate, I put mine in an egg carton, slightly tilted...and I turn them 3 times per day. Works super great for me. Good luck!

Just got off the phone with my DD. At the Forensics State Finals, her and her partner didn't place, but they were the highest ranked team in the UP. She was happy with that since it was her first year participating. I'm very proud of her. Plus she tells me that there was an outlet mall across from their hotel; she bought LOTS of stuff. OMG!! At least it was her money

um, what! i'm getting in the car right now. will Voortman Windmill cookies be made available?

i ditto Shelley's advice. save them up for up to one week, keep cool (not in fridge, room temp) and tilt. then place under broody all at one time.

girl, you are a whiz at tons of stuff, this is gonna be cake.

too funny. girl, we have a broody turkey another trying to be but i keep yanking her off the nest. there are two table top incubators and the cabinet bator.
if you need something incubated, for crying out loud, come on over. it'll give us an excuse to bake yummy stuff! i charge one Voortman cookie per egg!

It's a deal! I'm still not ready yet. We got our coop from my Grandpa's place. So it had been used (hasn't been for many years, though). We'd like to replace the flooring in it (it has untreated plywood and hubby wants treated). So maybe after he gets the time to do it, I'll be a callin' you. It could be very dangerous if we were any closer. We'd have baked goods comin' out our ears! Although, I don't know about your hubby, but mine will take all the goodies he can get!

Well, I can't possibly keep up with all of the posts

Connected at a blistering 115 kbps

But I try to keep checked in from time to time so you all know I'm still kicking

HAHA If anyone needs me for anything (yeah right

) I try to keep up with my PMs anyhow

Thanks again Vicki for the new birds!!! My DH just ADORES the Serama (We named him Oberon but I call him Obie) he says I need more neat birds like that

I also put my S Sebright gal in with him and he is happy as a clam.... he must have short man syndrome though

Every morning he knocks the girls around a bit as if to remind them who's boss... then he runs them out of the cage and all is fine.... go fig

Crazy little roo. It was really good meeting you and I sure do hope we meet again

Birds sure are enjoying this weather

We ended up getting some geese from the feed store for this year and will get our order in early next year for some dewlap Toulouse like my daughter really wants. I ended up getting one each of the Toulouse, African and Embden as I don't know yet which breed I will like best for Christmas goose and which for pets.

Started digging my pond today...... still not sure how to line it... but I figure it will work itself out

I have faith

I left a little island in the center as I figure the birds will enjoy it

Will post pics when it's done..... and hopefully I will have faster internet by then! HAHAHA

Hope everyone is well and having a great summer so far!

Oh yeah... also put my Guinea Keets out yesterday..... they are SO feral acting.... trying like heck to get loose until we walked outside... they were AWESTRUCK! They didn't move or make a sound... I had to shoo them off my lap when I put them down because they had NO idea the world was so big!!

They're having a blast running around outside and were practicing flying today

And my Showgirl Poppet has gone BROODY! YAY!

I'm trying to not get too excited as I have never had a broody yet.... but it's day 3 and she's still on those eggs!

I am putting her in her own little space with food and water tomorrow

I'm thinking that's what I need... but finding one, hopefully for free.. LOL... may be a bit harder

I'm thinking of trying freecycle or maybe Craigslist..... I'm still digging so I have time to figure it out! LOL

Just a hint of nice weather and we grow mute. I think the Okies have been having a lot of rain so the weather is probably the biggest factor in the numbers game.
