I need a shirt too is what DD says. She has on her West Knoll Farm Shirt today! I have no idea what I will be wearing that day...I can't decide this far ahead! LOL

Me, too!!!

And I got to meet more wonderful, fun people from BYC! Kris and Robert are more great poultry folks and we had a great few hours together. We learned a lot. Me, about turkeys and them about hatching and meal worms.
I had a good time.
 
Kris and I would like to thank westknollamy for the tour and all of the information, and the eggs which will be our first hatch effort. We loved seeing ALL the birds (even the ones with feathered feet and leggs) it was great to see all of the different coops you have made. and the runner ducks look soo cute. Pictures just don't do them justice. We spent about 4 hours learning about the birds, hatching, mealworms and such. Thank you very much for helping us and spending so much of your time helping us.

Eggs are in the bator now. is this day 1, or 0? darn, should have asked that!

Thank you

LOL
Today is day 0!
I set those that were in the egg carton on the hutch just now so we can do hatching together! However, after I collected this afternoon as I fed, I now am setting 30. Some are from Billy Bob, too but they are the brown eggs so that will give me more Olive Eggers, I hope. I think I sent one of those home with you guys.
Anyhow, I set mine and wrote it on my paper you saw I had taped up beside the incubator so I will take out on Feb 15 and put in my hatcher.

Happy hatching!

Yancy! Those are some really great looking d'Uccles! And I just love their new home! It is super duper!

I can't believe the one roo tried to take on your big boy. That would have been a fantastic photo! Considering the size difference alone is funny but the ages, too.....ROTFL. And I am sure the d'Uccle is saying to him the whole time..."Yeah, well, if this fence wasn't here I would show you a thing or two, bucko!"

I took mine down to the barn a few days ago and have been putting them out in a small pen during these nice days. The first day they weren't real happy either and stayed on the roosting pole for about an hour but I think someone pushed someone else off and then it was on! And I have them right in the barn yard so all those big birds are walking by and they are so curious....probably think those Guineas are a gas!

But they are now enjoying the green grass and love watching the world go by as they get adjusted to being part time outside birds.
Kris and Robert got to see the grown beauties in the other tractor but I could not talk them into taking home a roo as a parting gift!

Okay, I want to say first off that I do love my hubby. However, there are times......

So he goes out a while ago to the store and went to pick up a pizza because, you know, we need all that fat in our diet. My 4 candy bars last night while I watched "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" was not enough (no, don't bother watching it.

).
A while later he comes in huffing and puffing (see kids, this is what smoking will do for you, too!) and asks if I have an extra set of keys for my Olds. You remember the car he let get stolen last year and got the front smashed? Yeah, that's the one.
Well, I ask why and he says he locked the keys in it.
Now I have to add that he has been driving this car of mine since his Honda has been perpetually in the shop with goodness only knows what is wrong with it. So I ask how he got home from the store and he says to me that he drove it home. It is sitting at the end of the driveway, still running because when he got out to close the gates after coming home he somehow locked the doors (power locks) and then had to hoof it up the driveway. Poor baby........

So off I go with my flash light to see what I can find. At one time I had an extra set of keys stuck to the underside of the car but that has been 7 years ago and I never needed to use them. I can't find them anywhere under that car as I crawl around on the gravel shining my light. (I could just hear the neighbors saying "Now what are those crazy Phillips doing?" We have a streetlight right there at the gates so the whole world can see.)
No keys. Hmmmmm.
Okay, well he didn't close the door well on the drivers side so it has only caught a bit but I can't get it open so I climb back in the truck, where fat boy has been sitting watching me the whole time and I back the truck all the way back up the drive, past the house, and through the barn yard and up to the Guinea tractor where the crowbar hangs. (Yes, when I get mad at the loud suckers .....kidding!) Back to the house where I find a few long pieces of slender junk (I think it was off the frame of a screen window. I have a LOT of junk!) and off to the car, still running in the driveway with headlights on and heater blasting inside.
At this point DH is getting a bit nauseous from all my wild driving. Do you think I felt bad for him?
tongue.gif

I made him get out and I grabbed the crow bar and wedged the door frame open a bit. At this point he hollers, "Don't break it!" (Seriously....
smack.gif
) and I stuck the aluminum stick down inside the car. Drats! About an inch too short. Thankfully I brought an extra piece and grabbed the tape out of my truck, taped them together and told DH to hold the blasted crowbar. I wedged it open just enough and slipped the piece of junk down and hit the power auto window. Pulled the piece of junk back out and walked off to my truck. DH stood there for a minute, took the crowbar off the door and said "Well, yeah....if you cheat, I guess you can get it open that way!"

And that, folks, is how wild my Saturday night has been.

All I can say is ..."MEN" LOL

And "YOU GO GIRL"!!!
