My straight jacket is denim plaid with satin and lace and a sharpened nails on The inside to add to the pain.
(never a straight jacket when you've been drinking)

Well since it doesn't seem to matter that mine will hatch a little early, count me in!

Hooray!!

Okay. I've got 5 more dozen to sort and then I'll set. I think I have 14 or 15 dozen to set, and I'm going to have to dig out every incubator and broody to get this going right...and practice tetris...and maybe get an electric skillet out...


Oy!!

Well, I don't have my BR eggs yet. I want turkeys so bad. I was planning on setting 10. So even if I don't get them I'm setting 12 BCM, 4 OE/EE?, 4 RIR , 4 PR, 4 NHR, and 2 mystery eggs. I even thought about getting 12 Roen Duck eggs.

Actually this morning I was looking at an old chest deep freeze I have that no longer works and went "Hmmm? That should hold about 60 dozen. 720 eggs at once, oh yeah!" By the way, do the straight jackets come with monogramming?

60 dozen ?

I think you need a "rush" on that straight jacket!!

Quote: I hear you!! I'm debating on setting tonight or tomorrow night. Bourbons are increasing their daily egg numbers !! YEAHHHHHH!


I looked at your avatar the other day and suddenly, bing, I could see a abird thru the wire. FOr the last year I have been seeing a close up of a giraffe!!

I am roasting a narrigansett hen for tonights Sunday dinner. I would like to know why I often have the fat (drippinngs) starting to burn before the bird is done. If anyone has suggestions to prevent this, PLEASE let me know. It is not a problem with commercial birds, only my home grown.

ok I added to my original set, I am up to 28 since the mallard gave me 2 and the Pekin has been abused by the mallards and donated 2. And my own newly laying chickens gave but unknown if they are fertile I am up to 28, of which 2 will pip on Cinco de Mayo

 

[Wisher1000]

I am going to be setting late as I am getting eggs shipped that probably will get here Monday. You know what this means right? It means while you are all getting fuzzy butts, I am going to be going crazy over my bator wondering why they aren't pipping, zipping and hatching. Better get going on my straight jacket lol

I don't know if anybody remembers, but I sais the EXACT same thing during this hatchathon LAST YEAR!!

My one broodie, with the original name "Broodie Hen" stopped being broody just ehn I was going to give her a dozen speckled sussex. I need her to go broody again.

SHe raised 12 chicks last summer, those were her choice, now it is my choice on eggs.

We're in the same boat... my banty hen is named... wait for it...
Banty.

I've heard that several times. I need to change it, but she was one of our first hens and she gave us our first egg. She always sat at that window and looked outside in the mornings. It keeps her fresh in my mind as now I have so many I can barely keep track.
