Coral, once Vesta isn't a puppy any longer, you will likely find that her metabolism slows down and she will end up eating, as an adult dog, less than adult dogs of other breeds her size.

AL - it sounds like you have a Cornish lover's ideal day planned. Please take care of yourself and stay well hydrated with that fever.

(and just why do you have a fever anyway? I wouldn't have thought that your procedures would have made you ill

)

I don't know Marybeth, Laura & I both caught something when we went in for her procedure 2 wks ago, then I got a new dose of something when I went in. With this issue with my throat this coughing is just terrible, I think I am falling apart LOL.

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.

I wonder if Craigslist is having "issues" this morning? I would like to post the antique ice box and wringer washing machine that didn't sell at the garage sale, but it doesn't want to load.

Gerald sure wanted those treasures

But, I sure don't know where he would put them. I still don't know where he's putting the safe or the lockers or any of the junk he bought at the Guy Rose auction

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.
