I'm joining the hatch-a-long. But not chicks, I'm doing keets! Have 7 guinea eggs in the incubator. Candled at day 7 and all fertile and cooking along nicely. Scheduled hatch day is April 24.

As long as they have feathers when they come out of the eggs, they can be included in the hatchalong...

Welcome!!!

Looks like my weekend just got a little busier. The tree trimmers just left, so I get to set corner posts for my new coop tomorrow... after a little cleanup. Fortunately, I have a guy coming over this evening to help cut and load all the bigger stuff that he wants for his smoker. Apparently pecan makes good smoker wood...

Yes it does make good smoker wood. It's always cheaper to get the tree guys to just drop them and than clean up the mess yourself.

I thought we had already been through this. Only "feathered" hamsters count!!!

I don't have a smoker, so I wouldn't know. Definitely saved a chunk of change by cleaning it up myself (with some free help).

Will have to check my hamster egg collection to see if any are "feathered". I don't have a smoker either but I still know
