In addition to regular feed, I will be offering them some cracked corn and sprinkling red pepper flakes on their feed, to help them increase their internal temperature.

Oh thank you!

I "think" we only have 5 eggs that are viable, but I do not hear anything inside yet and someone said you will hear them by now.

My mom actually said we could carry them around in our bras lol.

Robin, I don't think there is a magic formula on the red pepper flakes - since they can't taste them I don't worry about over dosing them - just sprinkle them on top of the feed. I get the big bottles of red pepper flakes at Sams and also buy a finer powder in bags at the Asian store.

They usually don't start cheeping inside the egg until they are ready to hatch or if they start cooling down. I have discarded eggs that I thought wouldn't hatch and then rescued them from the trash can when I heard cheeping as they cooled down.

Coyotes...
The Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail.
A coyote jumps out and attacks the Governor's dog, then bites the Governor.
1. The Governor starts to intervene, but reflects upon the movie "Bambi" and then realizes he should stop because the coyote is only doing what is natural.
2. He calls animal control . Animal Control captures the coyote and bills the State $200 testing it for diseases and $500 for relocating it.
3. He calls a veterinarian. The vet collects the dead dog and bills the State $200 testing it for diseases.
4. The Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote and on getting his bite wound bandaged.
5. The running trail gets shut down for 6 months while Fish & Game conducts a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is now free of dangerous animals.
6. The Governor spends $50,000 in state funds implementing a "coyote awareness program" for residents of the area.
7. The State Legislature spends $2 million to study how to better treat rabies and how to permanently eradicate the disease throughout the world.
8. The Governor's security agent is fired for not stopping the attack. The State spends $150,000 to hire and train a new agent with additional special training re: the nature of coyotes.
9. PETA protests the coyote's relocation and files a $5 million suit against the State.

Here in Oklahoma :
The Governor of Oklahoma is jogging with her dog along a nature trail. A Coyote jumps out and attacks her dog.
1. The Governor shoots the coyote with her State-issued pistol and keeps jogging. The Governor has spent $0.50 on a .45 ACP hollow point cartridge. Bless her heart she only needed one shot!
2. The Buzzards eat the dead coyote.

And that, my friends, is why California is broke and Oklahoma is not.

Don't forget the bounty the State has to pay the hunters on the CA hiking trail.......LOL GREAT POST!

Good Morning Everyone !!!!
Does anyone know where a I could find some Kelp meal or better yet seaweed around the central Oklahoma area. I want to start feeding this to my geese during their breeding season.

Sooner & Tony - Thanks for the coyote input. We'll visit with our neighbors tonight to see if they know of or are the right person/people to help out.

Guineas are singing about the wind. Love that song!

Try the Asian market in Tulsa. If they don't have kelp, they can get it for you.
