Now who in the world would do that?

 

[JulieNKC]

I had no idea that the ganders would do that! So cute! Will the goslings adopt the gander right back? I think I need a goose or two.......

I have approval and everything too!

Yay!

I have chicks and chickens in the backyard, kitchen, a bed room and the garage....No, I do not have a shortage.

No Roosters at my place(that was for any AC snoopers on here).

I am working with a Farmer in Winters CA and he keeps bringing me odd things to hatch. On Thursday I set 25 or so Guinea eggs and two Turkey eggs. Since they were set close to the set date for this hatch a long I figured I would join. When the keets and turkeys hatch, they go straight to his place.

Did I tell you that he disturbed a Duck nest so I have unknown hatch date Mallard eggs incubating too...I sure hope he does not come across Emu eggs.....

Since my joining the Easter Hatch a Long was never recorded

I am joining this sucker! Turkey Hatch a Long!

Ok, I am sure the good people running this one saw that....I will have to check the list of hatch members sooner this time.

I am so sorry, that would be completely my fault. I enjoy your updates I don't know how I could have missed you of all people. Again, I'm sorry!

Oh boy, Ron updates! I love them! I'm sure there will be all sorts of humor thrown in them here. Btw, I had another egg this afternoon, since I only set this morning, I added it. Add that to my count I'm not keeping. I may remember t candle once or twice, but I'm sure others will make up for it. My humidity is somewhere, and my temp is in the vicinity.

ready-set---wait!

Ron, Don't let Mike off that easy.......make him send you peafowl eggs when his start laying.

Good Morning!

I hope you remembered your ruby slippers so you can get back home.....

I set 18 turkey eggs yesterday.........eggs from flocksalot will be here today.....at least that is what the PO says......
I had chicks hatching Friday night through this morning! First chicks since August

It is really ok! Just getting into the craziness here....

YES!!! Updates!



I have a new phone, so I get to take pics again. This one is plastered all over, but so happy to be able to get pics when my chicks hatch!!

Oh, sure, you may hear that you must have a straitjacket, or that poetry is mandatory, but the truth is, all you HAVE to do is just what you want! We set when we want, what we want, and as many as we want. We laugh and joke and rant and rave. We pick at each other and take it in stride.

Poetry!!! here goes a first time hatcher's haiku

Eggs from the Midwest
Warming in styrofoam now
I hover and stare

My man says I'm nuts
What will we do with 50!
Relax dude...It's cool


And a Limmerick

There once was a woman from Cali
In chickens she wanted to dally
She filled up a bator
and hopes three weeks later
She'll have a wee pullet named Sally

Oh, Yinepu, I had no idea! I am so happy he is able to come home to you. Is he going to have any long term effects from his injuries? PLEASE tell him "thank you" for his sacrifices and service! Words can't do justice to the appreciation I have for y'all doing that for me, my family, and everyone else in the US (whether they appreciate it or not.) I also humbly appreciate your willingness and sacrifices, as well. It is often forgotten that the families of servicemen also 'give till it hurts' so that we can be safe and comfortable at home with our families. The separation is just as hard on you and your soldier's other loved-ones as it is on him. Let me know if there is anything you could use some help with....anything at all.

Are you willing to sell some of the Purple and Transelvania or Maybe trade for something i have thats rare like charley chapman Tomatoes Very old tomatoe Heirloom and organic
or name it Ive been looking everytime i go after new Garlic its gone

If it hatches and I can identify it, it's yours. I was throwing them in the garden left and right last year without labels. Would love to try some new tomatoes.

Today - back to banter and chatter waiting for the first time to candle (SCG you don't count, we all know you obsessively candle

)

She's probably candled four times already!

And that was just yesterday. Who knows how many times she will today!

Just twice yesterday.
And not at all today yet, I had to work. Sheesh... I have some control. Now who hid my flashlight?


One of my favorite quotes: I just realized... maybe it's maturity or the wisdom that comes with age, but the witch in Hansel and Gretel -- she's very misunderstood. I mean, the woman builds her dream house and these brats come along and start eating it.
