Hahaha, you know what Pam, I think your right.

'Hi, I'm Ben, and I have an eggpatience problem"
"Hi Ben"

Now even Riley, my youngest one says "Dad, we check everyday for eggs and there is never any, when are we going to find one?"
Eggpatience seems to be genetically passed down, the gene is strong in that one lol

This is all that's keeping me from my other addiction....hatching lol

Many don't know, but when I was a young lad, I left to join the Army. The day I left, my father told me that (I have no idea how he came up with this) he would not trim his left little finger nail until he saw me again. (weird I know right????) It was expected to be months with basic training and all that. Sure enough, when I saw him he had this one weird long nail hahahaha. I think he was attached to it too.

Anyway, this inspired me (after all I am his son) to stop shaving and cutting my hair when our four older girls arrived at approximate laying age. Just weird guy thing I guess.

Was dark brown when I started and it's very itchy.



Hahahaha, still no egg.

Maybe today, after it's it's Friday here

After coming home another day with nothing but barren emptyness in our nest boxes....I might just try it. Has to be done naked with extra baby oil right?

Just as an added precaution, I will also do my own rendition of an egg song with an occasional squat thrown in for good measure.

Don't forget at high noon and in the middle of the run!!

Scott Wishing you luck with the dance!

Oh poop, I forgot. I have a broody duo. A full-size hen sitting on a serema, sitting on eggs. Well, I sure wasn't paying attention, but they were to hatch on the 2nd. I heard this peeping from them, thought one of the jap had wiggled its way where it didn't belong... Have 2 faverolle mixes and one marans, I think its a mix also... Puffy face. 2 marans left to hatch... Hope they do! So, now it is a full size hen, on a serema, on chicks and eggs. Lol. Its great. Will get pics soon... Maybe tonight, while they are less twitchy. My full size hen came out today and puffed up the size of a freaking midget turkey! Funny as heck.

Hahahaha, there is no hope for me. I even did a lunch time nest box inspection and I will give you one free guess as to what I didn't find in there.

Glad to make a few crack a smile. That was me at Alicia's 30th party. We wanted a low hassle theme, so everyone had to wear a wig of any kind. It was called Alicia's 'wig out' party. Was a blast!
