I'd be happy to share the apple cake recipe if you'd like.

Roger said I should get your recipe!

I keep telling you guys how much of a chicken my cat is, well today she came running to Oreo's treat call.  I sure hope Oreo stays smarter then her and doesn't start "treating" her like a chicken!!!! lol

You will make medical history if that cat lays an egg!

That is so awesome. How many have hatched now?

5 of 6 spitzhaubens have hatched and one has pipped. The last one pip on the underside of the egg and alot of fluid drained out. I can see his beak sticking out of the egg but no movement so I don't know if he/she will make it. The first one to hatch is struggling. she is smaller than the others and hasn't been able to stand up yet. She's a fighter and keeps trying so we will see. If she can't stand by tomorrow I guess I will try to make a little brooder for her and see what happens. She will need water by then. 3 of 11 Cochins have pipped and one of them is zipping and 1 of 4 Japanese bantams has pipped and is staring to zip. Hopefully the rest will pip soon. They are due tonight/tomorrow.

If I could have only one animal it would be a cat. So glad I can have and dog and chickens too though.

WooHoo! First Cochin just hatched! Once she got going she went quick. The lesson learned here I think is only get hatching eggs from people you know or your own stock. Those spitzhaubens from the auction were a pain in the rear.
