The NFC B-Day Chat Thread

Evening all... :frow We have 12, maybe 15 new babies. Pix to follow once they arrive on my computer, which could be as late as tomorrow... slow internet here... I did my first ever assisted hatch tonight. I had three that were shrink wrapped in their membrane and just couldn't leave them to die. All three were oddly positioned in the egg and the membrane looked like shell. So those three are back in the bator with a half dozen eggs that haven't pipped yet. One internally pipped, so thinking about making an air hole in the shell... Generally, I'm opposed to assisted hatches based upon natures selective process, but I couldn't leave three live chicks to die. Guess I'm a softie...


Why is it dead? I wish I could sneak on from work..



You need a source of raw milk, salt and ice.... Then you could make your own.

KD, flying is great fun unless you have to grab the OH Sh1t bar and walk from there. I always got very angry when my drivers had to walk home.

ETA: Someone reply to this post so it's easy to find when pix arrive

Can't wait for photos. I miss having chicks about (and can't wait until we have the space to hatch out more than just quail). I always help because I figure it's most likely something I've done wrong in my set up.

Please share your ice cream recipe. I've never been 100% happy with ones I've tried but they've used straight cream. I can only drink raw milk so no problem with that part.

It's raining and horrible here. Our backyard is so boggy. The next few days are supposed to be reasonably fine but chilly. Yesterday the wind was bitterly cold. Its not quite so bad today but I'm sick of the wet already.

DMC your goodies look so yummy! Love those Cookie Monster ones.
 
Ok, here are the 12 babies....

Good news... I started eating vegetables again.

Bad news... I way overdid it lol

I was about to watch TV which usually comes with lots of junk food but then I remember that I hadn't had dinner yet and hadn't eaten since 1:30 or 2 and decided that I should probably actually eat dinner and not junk lol

Plus I need veggies cause without going into tmi my digestion/bowels lately and especially the last few days has been awful, pain etc.

Sooo....

I grabbed 2 huge handfuls of spinach and sauteed them in olive oil. Then took a yellow summer squash, sliced it, tossed it in the oil. Then got a sweet potato, microwaved it (makes it cook faster in the pan lol), then sliced it and put that in the oil too. Ate everything separately in stages as I cooked it ha

But the overdid it part is cause I ate literally an ENTIRE squash... granted the yellow ones and especially store ones are a lot smaller than the green ones (zucchini) but still...

The sweet potato I only ate like half or 3/4. I was trying to force myself to eat the whole thing but I was so full after the summer squash that I couldn't and decided eating past full isn't healthy either.

So now I'm extremely full. And I didn't even eat any meat lol

I might go back and have a little bit of yogurt to help my stomach but idk. I got this whole milk Icelandic kind. I forget what they call it. It says yogurt on it but it also says some other name and is strained.

But yeah.

At least I ate veggies?

I just ate TOO MANY.

I do that with smoothies too. Fill the whole dang blender and make like 3 servings or 2 1/2. Usually drink it all too. Lol I gotta cut back.
