Morning All,
I was visiting the CT thread this morning and someone posted the link to this skit that was on the Jay Leno show. So Funny! (And Cute too!)

Lynzi,

This was hilarious. I just forwarded it to my son. The just add water skit was a riot. How gullible can people be?! Loved it!

PS: thanks for the nice comments on the coop!

I loved it. Especially the woman at the end nodding her head as she listened to guy describe how to "care" for them. Then runs over and grabs as many as she can!

But yes, is scares me how there really are some people out there that will believe anything you tell them.

I shouldn't cover overnights - I had 137 posts to read just now! Great googly moogly!

I spent the past three nights in Saratoga. My Easter was spent working, driving, sleeping, driving, and working. I loved it, though - I was definitely born for the nights!

Sorry to hear about the sick chickie. I've had to put a couple of chicks down, and it stinks to have to do it, but it's necessary.

I almost lost my mind and bought the markdown silkie chicks they had at TSC this morning (had to stop on the way home and get layer pellets). Fortunately, I realized that my lamp is already in use on the duckehs, and that part of my "ooh, chicks" impulse was because I had just gotten off of work. I resisted it - I deserve a cookie!

Yes, my first hatch, I am so excited, but a nervous wreck at the same time!

I know have 5 pips, and I had to open the membrane a tad on the first one, it was sealed shut after it already been punctured...

Woot! We need pics when they are out!! =)

My little peeps en masse today escaped the brooder. Not sure how, but I *think* it was a piece of misplaced cardboard (I use a large dog cage with cardboard along the bottom sides to keep them in.. but.. so I walked in today and chicks all over the bedroom. LOL. (and no, I don't sleep in there, it's a spare room lol).


Plus with a cold today I decided it would be a GREAT time to start cleaning out my largest coop. Bah. Wearing my respirator with a cold = major fail. Got some of it done AND noticed that I had been missing my leghorn eggs for two eggs - FOUND them!! they were in a big pile behind the nest box waaaay down deep. Had to toss them all - they were dirty and who knows how old. I have enough eggs. So then I was lugging and rearranging big heavy nestboxes to get rid of that gap.

It IS exciting! The hen I got from Tab went broody back in December.I decided to bring her inside and let her sit on the 6 she was sitting on. We got three chicks out of the 6. It was definitely a cool experience. I think this year I'm going to buy an incubator and try hatching some on our own. Good luck with the rest of your hatch! Tomorrow morning should be even more exciting for you!

Lol! It is very exciting! I can't wait to see pics! I am on day 8 and I candled all 41 eggs. Only 2 don't look like they have anything going on!! I'm gonna check them again in a couple days tho. I cleaned my coop yesterday and a few hours later my nose starting running like crazy and it hasn't stopped! I had a fever earlier and sore throat. Ahhh I don't have time to be sick!!
