It worked that time.

Maybe because I mentioned a particular type of movie rating system and put a letter in front that follows Q to describe the original unposted version of the poem, which was funnier? They're watching!

LOL I saw a bunch of people on the indiana thread having posting problems, and problems saying they were new? after the server was down earlier. Like 30 some posts in 3 hours!

Well Done W4W!! I love it!

nice job MC, I think, if you have any doubts... that a couple of 2x4's as legs at the front (from the coop to the ground) will give you all the stabilizing you need. the table is a good enough size, legs would only give you more "peace of mind" during high winds.
and I figured that 21 days was the minimum... she is doing so well, I spent a while with her this afternoon, scratchin' her lil head. she likes it.

it's so saturated outside. we got 7 inches of snow a couple of days ago, heavy, wet stuff... it's been snowing everyday since, and melting as it's been close to 40*. the portable run is pretty damp around the edges and there was a big puddle on one side of the roof, so I pushed up from the inside to get rid of it... scared the peeps with the rush of the water over the edge. it was getting dark, so I didn't try to get more pictures.

4 eggs, then I broke one, cuz it's slippery here too... so 3 for me.

JCH, you can def pick up your eggs at your PO, and you can also get the info for the future... of the General Mail Facility where your mail starts it's journey in your area. here's the best tip I can give you for shipping eggs and birds... use the GMF address as your shipping address. this way, your parcel can go no further. (this tip was given to me by an Express Supervisor at the GMF, so it's legit...and not just cuz I work there, lots of people do it) this saves the parcel from further truck rides, that could be many miles... before it arrives at your local office. the only reason to not do this, is if your GMF is too far (in your opinion) to travel too. the furthest in our area is about 90 miles, one way. that's a hike, but it's also a hike that I would rather save my chicks from bouncing along in a big cold truck. I only live about 27 miles from my GMF if you go over the mountain... 45 miles if you drive around it... these parcels are almost always express pieces and you can get the express desk phone #'s... but you have to get them from your post office, this info is very difficult to get online. I have no idea why... maybe I should create a database.

Cool, I think ours is Indy. I will make calls tomorrow and find out! Thanks for the ideas, I really want a good hatch with these birds, they are so impressive and HUGE, just beautiful.

Guess who had a perfect day? Holy crap that is awesome!!
2 Marans, 2 EE, 2 BR, 3 PartridgeRock, 1 Columbian Rock Cross, 2 JG, 2 RIR, and 2 Golden Buff
<sniff sniff> Yeah, it is sinking in that I lost one. Poor thing.

YEEHAW!! Congrats on the perfect day! awesome

I know that feeling, when I found Loppy in the nest box, it just broke my heart.

my smallest goose egg is 4.8, that's not far off! Wow! What breed laid that?

I think it was either my partridge rock (Yes, a cousin of ROGER), or my Buff orpington. It could have been one of my comets, but their eggs are normally darker.
