Brac - hope all goes well and you win the battle. To many cases of C to mention.
Cyn - great video I'll bet you cried.
Crazy - Cyn recommended the Genesis 1588 and I like it very much. I have great hatches in it. I bought it through "Incubator Warehouse". It was the cheapest I could find. I will say the turner had a broken row and I was desperate with eggs so I had to use it. Still it keeps me from hatching another 7 chicks, which I would. I did have a problem with it making a funny sound and no problem getting a replacement part. Though to be honest I never switched them out. It's still working fine. It does whine but being in my office it's not a major problem. Ask for Randy Pryor, nice guy to work with.
I think all incubators have their quirks and you have to learn and develop your technique. I do get eggs that hatch early and some later. Bantams usually hatch early.
Nella - get that tooth taken care of. I hope your bunny show went well.
He's mine! Within driving distance for some free roosters! hahahaha!
I am still trying to make up my mind which lady/breeder should I get a rooster from. Kathy or Beth, Kathy or Beth just don't know for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just kidding I am still thinking about your JG rooster Kathy.
When Chris was here between assignments during the summer, he did take video of my chickens and one baby hatching. That was a new experience for him and he really loved watching the chick zip out of the egg. The Republic of Georgia is very poor-he lived with a host family there. In Korea, he has his own studio apt provided, much more disciplined environment and better pay, but both places will enrich his life experience.
hey there fellow SDWDers been busier'n one legged man in a rump kickin' contest
gotta geter' done while the gettins' good my 'ol Granpappy used to say
Mrs. Kathy I got a hold to Billy and he said he went through thousands of results on the F2 cross on Henks kippenjungle calculator and he said all the blacks came up to be females now remember this is based on %(prercentages) and there can always be a crop-out unexpected, esp in figuring genetics(chicken genetics). The calculator only list them as solid black it does not show leakage which is what the red in the neck and chest area is called, just the same as the straw colored neck(hackles) showing up on the F1 males it only calls them black/barred. See it doesn't mention leakage on them either, pretty deep subject really something only my bro and few others would be so interested in to delve that deep. Me, I like the stuff, but don't have or won't spend the time digging for, (one reason I wasn't very studious in school
just got the basics down and carried on) shameful huh?
BTW the black chick still looks sorta pulletish to me still yet, time will definitely tell.

Good luck Brandon on the quitting smoking. You'll feel so much more energized once you get thru all the stages of kicking the habit. I quit Christmas of 2007 (4yrs.ago this coming Christmas) (COLD TURKEY) hardest thing I've ever done. Figured I made it to forty and if I wanted to make another forty now was the time to do better. It takes a strong will-power, I also quit(DROPPED IT LIKE A BAD HABIT, TOO) drinking like fish in summer of 2009 the second hardest thing I've ever done and that one still haunts me to this day. Boy, some-days I could still tie one on if you know what I mean. I had to finally grow-up and get with the program, I'm not getting any younger with each day you know.
Gonna be running all day...the COOPS ARE COMING! Now it is a race to get them painted before the rain gets here late tonight/early morning. Be back later all. zoooooooooooooom
Let me know how the Chantix works Brandon - how long have you smoked - it is works will you help me quit? Tho i have to be honest the only way i think i cvoukd would be cold turkey - and in that time frame people would have to walk a wide angle from me!!!!! Good luck seriously
Hope your tooth gets better Nella - off to a rabbit show tomorrow myself!
