Surviving Minnesota!

Cluckies: as for your skin condition....i just checked with my mom (dermatologist nurse for 20 years) cut out just one food at a time for 2 weeks then add it back to diet on trial basis. If you flare up u have your victim. She also agrees with more vitamin d but keeping the rest of your skin covered with sunblock.

Ok, just have to figure out what to cut out first. ..

Hi everyone... Ugh... Just had the most depressing candling of my life... Set 6 dozen eggs...

Here is what's left... I know what happened... My incubator got unplugged or something cuz the temp had dropped way down for who knows how long. I am guessing this happened while I was gone... Uuuuuuugh! So many beautiful embryos dead! I only had around 8-9 clears and the rest were dead embryos!

Oh man, that is so sad

Bummer, Holm. Is the new wafer working better for you? How's that little EE doing?

Morning . First day of spring .

Woke up to thunder storms and hail about 3:20 . Quiet out there now .

Jerry is definitely first.

Too bad on the eggs Holms, but perhaps the artificial inseminator did not do a good job ?

I was at Walmart yesterday and bought 3 apple trees . Only $10 each could not pass them up .

Good morning all and happy first day of spring!

Sorry Holm.

Now Ralphie you can complain about non-Spring like weather.

Once you have been on the thread a few more years, you will learn I can complain about anything at any time...


Holm, Bummer on the eggs... Who in your house is Anti-chick, blame them and maybe you will get a new car if you really throw a hissy fit over these..... Or be grounded for life.


I am betting Jerry would have a hard time planting apple trees here. I tried to screw some anchors in the ground the other day, the frost is out for about an inch and a half. I had to pour boiling water in a small depression all day and night to get the anchor in. They were small anchors only about 18 inches. I have no idea how far down the frost is.

I also noticed Ann lake is ice covered again. All that work the tornado did clearing the lake of ice for e to go fishing was for naught now.

BCM, Wellsummers, I have no idea what I will do or if I will do anything on getting another breed.

I have a bunch of birds to get rid of on Saturday. I am finding most people do not care about quality in there birds only price. I cannot hatch enough EE, but I am only charging a buck a piece if you buy 50, $1.50 smaller quantities. I offer my Doms at 5 bucks each and no one seems to want them but they pay 10 bucks a piece for them at Ramsey Feed, I doubt Ramsey feed has Duane Urch's line.

I did get rid of my 2 week old hatch of PC's. MnChickMom Jr, took all of them yesterday. I thought I had 8 but could only find 5. I looked for older ones for her, but after finding 6, I being selfish, kept for myself. I need to have a leg up on her at the Benton County Fair. I already figure she will take better care of them than I will. I might have to Tonya Harding her....


That's about it, things to do and coffee to drink!
