We were so tired that we left around dark & stopped on the way home for something to eat. Going to the Guy Rose auction in the morning and buying 55 bales of hay & a table full of junk, then rushing home to change vehicles and grab our hatching eggs for the Blanchard auction was just too much excitement for us old timers.
Gerald wouldn't sell his turkey eggs for less the $2 each or his muscovy duck eggs for $1 each, so we took quite a few home, along with 2 dozen blue wheaten ameraucana eggs I decided I had to buy
I just loaded the incubator full again.
I'm letting Gerald sleep in, but we have 3 pickups that need to be unloaded, one is full of hay including a trailer full of hay, and we have to go to our grandaughters 2nd birthday party.
Sounds like you won't get much rest today, either.
I put a tray full of Narragansett turkey eggs, runner duck eggs, and golden pheasant eggs into the large incubator last night. I noticed two more nests of Narragansett eggs yesterday. I need to pull those eggs and stick them in the incubator since 3 turkey hens are already setting. There is also a brown runner duck setting on the nest of eggs we saw in the bushes.
The silkie that was setting in the cage of straw with her eggs, has decided to co-sit the nest on the ground next to the cage. I imagine the eggs she abandoned will make good live trap bait.
Jaxon put the Madagascar egg he recovered into the Hovabator inside the house, yesterday. He was so proud to do it all by himself.
