We also get off subject on occasion... lots of occasions... So since I know we have some shooters around here, I thought I'd show off my new targets.
Had to buy new tires for my car yesterday (cha-ching... OUCH!) So we made targets out of them. Supposedly, the lead will collect in the tire, instead of ending up everywhere, plus they make a nice holder for the steel target:

Exactly.  Watch this.  and  at the same time... Cause I know how you like it...

Ok, so I'm positive I'll be smacked repeatedly for this confession but... I candled real quick and all are still alive and active. Don't see any internal pips yet but it's still early on day 20. I made sure the humidity and temp stayed close to where it should be.

I was given a pedicure gift certificate once, boy I laughed and laughed, and it was from someone who should have known me better! I run barefoot and then in boots more than not, like I give a flyin hoot what my feet look like! I am just lucky I still have all my toes

Back at ya!

Ok, been busy this morning. Didn't have time to give you guys the lockdown stats. Amy, go ahead and put the floats in storage until the spring...
The good news is, only 1 clear out of 24. The bad news is air cells are all over the place. I have 16 of the huge, dark Davis eggs that all have developed, but I can't tell to what stage. The air cells are about 2/3 of what I normally expect to see at this point, so I'm afraid I'm going to have a bunch of chicks that develop and never pip. I hope I'm wrong, and always hope for the best, but the air cells are small. Almost completely round and even with the top of the egg, not drawn down. I've incubated at 28-30%, and I refuse to go lower. I may have to try sanding eggs at some point, but it shouldn't be that hard. I may go the totally opposite direction and follow the article Ruby posted. Incubate at 55% and hope that the humid air will pull the moisture out of the egg through osmosis

The lighter, young hen eggs look like the air cells are too large. Good development on the chicks, but I'm hoping they aren't sticky chicks, or get shrink wrapped. This will be a good experiment to see which ones hatch and which ones don't, but I don't think I will get anywhere near 75% of 23. If I were judging by air cells only, I would say 8 or 9. I may be pleasantly surprised, but all I can do now is wait and

Perhaps you should put away your incubator, trade it in for an LG. Seriously, though.... this hatch has got to be better. My last bator hatch had air cells that were too small, so I hatched in egg cartons. Best hatch ever. Prior hatch was a lot of DIS, wet chicks.

She said "please"

Exactly. Watch this.

You people are incorrigible.



Stinking hawk is back, scoping out my property, just gliding overhead, flashing his wings, inviting his friends to the banquet. Stupid chickens won't stay on the right side of the fence. Babies are tractored. I gotta go pick up GD, so will be gone a good part of the afternoon. Hope to have the new run well underway by the end of the weekend.

I don't do very much smacking... well, ok, I smack SC every once in a while... so basically, only when provoked.

Hey, I remember a smack from you....just can't remember why????? lol

Unless you're me. I'm sure I would manage to shoot right in between the target and the tire!!

I like that. We normally just use hay bales. Actual real hay bales, lol.

I was just pointing the error of your ways... I still almost

you...lmao That's better than a smack.....you like to be smacked!

I was trying to share the love!

See, you can't "almost"

, so since it was just repeated that only BR and I are allowed to

, I have to give you a

(this explains the one you can't remember...)

You people are incorrigible.

Why, thank you dear..

At least you know there's still life.
