Sure glad you posted those pictures - I was so tired when I got home from church this morning that I forgot to take my (formerly) frozen cookie dough out of the van. It is now in the refrigerator, where it will last only as long as it takes for one of the grandsons to see it and demand to bake it.

Maribeth, you are probably the world's best poultlry enabler ... always trying to help a fellow poultry addict aquire more birds, and especially more than we all need

Thanks for helping us downsize on our hatching eggs and Narragansett turkeys

I hope all those eggs hatch and you are blessed with billions of baby chickies

I unfortunately have come to the realization that I have hoarded way to many birds and MUST cut back, at least for a little while.

In 2 weeks I'll be working a new job (promotion) where Gerald & I will barely see each other ... I'll work days & Gerald still works 2nd shift.

Making sure all our critters are fed & watered daily may be rough ... well, the rough part is learning how to get up early in the morning, fight rush hour traffic & be at work before 6:30 am. Oh, but I won't have to work weekends or any overtime anymore!

I suspect that this will be one of the best hatch rates ever, since it will be more inconvenient to brood an abundance of chicks at this time of year.

Delighted that I could help you downsize your Narragansett turkey hens. This will hopefully give me 5 laying hens this Spring so that I can begin raising poults early. The poults I purchased at auctions in July will not be large enough for Thankgsiving this year. Maybe for Christmas, I will be able to get the extra Toms processed and into someone's freezer. D.A.R.P. told me they anticipate being certified and fully staffed to process ducks and turkeys by the first of December.

Are you going to change your Gold Feather Membership title to "Seriously Downsizing (Maybe)" or "Seriously Downsizing (Soon)" ??????

Just for the record, I candled all the eggs from the Newcastle auction and pulled out about 2 dozen guinea eggs that were not developing (maybe that is why they had an "x" in pencil on the side?" so was able to get all the eggs from Blanchard into the Sportsman and the already going Hovabator. My incubators are officially "full" this week.

Always happy to be of service.

Maribeth - keep us updated as your hatch progresses. I'm going to have to get my hatching satisfaction vicariously this winter though BYC members who still have incubators going. Last year I had a Christmas hatch, and it was wonderful, but the stress I experienced with the threat of losing power was too much to go through a second time. If we had a generator I'd be loading up my big metal hen. Maybe next year.

Morning Okies!

Didnt get a lot accomplished yesterday but I did manage to clean out the pens. I think I will be working inside the house today since it is suppose to rain today. I am ready to get some things done since i am finally child free during the school day.

Steph : I am very disappointed at you for not trying harder to get through to that DH of yours, When I saw his arm Saturday it hurt just looking at it. I sure hope he is doing better and trying to get it quieted down some, he's like I am when I ruptured my tendon just can't lay off and have to still work, and it's hard with just one arm to get it healed and we keep reinjuring it because of that. Take good care of him as we know you will, and get him to feeling better.
