this blog is the person who drew that image. I've been a fan of hers for years! the original image is captioned " clean all the things!" she is hilarious- definitely worth checking out.
here is a link to the original cartoon:

Such a funny site. Thanks for pointing me in that direction.

I do not think we will be getting that tshirt....This was at the bottom of the blog:

Of course I did take this from the Blog....I better check under my bed for the monster tonight.....

Looks like a good separation technique, though I would put paper towel or something on the bottom to give them footing to avoid leg issues. Hmm, may have to go get some strawberries ...

I put foam shelf liner inside the basket like this!



No foot or leg issues.

I've got a second pip!

Come on little chickies! I REALLY need to get to bed but I'm so excited now I doubt I could sleep. But if I sleep the time will seem to go by faster and maybe I'll wake to a chickie....decisions decisions...I am actually pretty tired...ok bed it is. Fingers crossed for chicks and more pips in the am.

Are you cheeping to them?

It really does help!



Hatch little chicks!

I've been making little cheepy sounds into the vent holes about once an hour. No response yet.

the basket is from Beef Steak tomatoes, has air holes and the lid snaps shut. They fit perfectly in the Genesis incubator too! The shelf liner is washed in a clothes washer and ready for the next hatch.

When I run the hatch video I do not cheep at the eggs. I do not want anyone to think I am not all there....oh too late I suppose.....

Looks like I will be setting way more eggs than I thought. DH just sent me an email (from the other end of the couch, no less) notifying my that this


will be arriving Tuesday!. I was just going to use my handy dandy mini eco...but, wow!

Lay, girls lay!!!

I feel like setting for the hatch-a-long right now! Because I am excited, and really bored.
