I especially adore well mannered kids. The last Blanchard auction I had a kid run by our reserved POOPS table and injured my knee--the knee I had surgery on--I was in so much pain that I relocated behind the auctioneer in the livestock run! No kids to bang into me! Several people had been crashed in to by this kid, (and several other kidss) to the point of almost being knocked down. I like kids fine, but it seems like Blanchard has a real problem on it's hands with out of control kids. There were even kids in the parking lot crawling in and UNDER trucks---I shudder to think what could happen in that dark parking lot. Some of the parents don't even care that their kids are running wild thru the auction floor. I don't know about you guys, but I raised my kids better than that! And BarnSwallow I think your kids were the best mannered kids there...and sweet to boot!

I guess I could video me trying to bend over and reach the eggs on the bottom row.

Made myself a gadget to take care of that. Works great.....take a plastic spaghetti scoop....the one that has 7 or 8 upward curving fingers around the edge....get a hunk of gray plastic conduit (mine is 5 feet long) just big enough to slip the end boot over the handle of the scoop.....push it on as far as it will go....drill a couple of small screw holes through both the conduit and handle....insert the screws, and get ready to pick up eggs from just about anywhere. I have some turkey hens trying to nest in the middle of a particularly obnoxious thorny vine patch....I think it might be greenbriar vine...and trying to retrieve the eggs had me looking like I'd tangled with a cougar. Not any more. et​

I think I remember the kid that you speak of... He was bullying little kids and my son had to hollar at him to be nice.. Austin doesnt like bully's and it upsets him immensly as it should anyone for that matter..

HOLLERING AT AL: Is it possible to swing you these Turkey eggs to get them hatched out... if they will even hatch out? or Doc&Peaches maybe... We dont have a bator

What a great idea!!! I don't have a need for it often but think I might make one of them!!

I don't know if you guys remember but this is my first hatch in the homemade incubator. I set 13 eggs, 11 Partridge Cochins, 2 bantam cochins. The 2 bantam were clear. Out of the 11 partridge, 10 of them have hatched!! Pretty darn good. I am leaving the other till tomorrow to see if it will do anything.

Sooner! I for one did forget about your homemade incubator - congratulations on the awesome hatch! Are the bantam cochin eggs from those little snowball birds you got at the September POOPS?

Great hatch Sooner.
I have seen different type things rigged up to get eggs including the spaghetti thing and metal dippers.
You can by a golf ball retriever at a golf shop and it works great. It is also retractable. I don't know how much they cost new but if you can find a used one somewhere that would be a great deal.

All these handy idea's is why I love this place. I will have one new pen that getting eggs might be a problem until I get the doors cut on the back but for now the only thing I have to worry about is a mean black hen that insists on being broody!
