It is great when hatches start clicking like that.

My first of many staggered hatches will be this weekend. I am shooting for a hatch a week this year and am running 4 incubators.

A Brinsea Ocatagon 40 and three Genesis 1588's. I might hatch out 1000 chicks this year!

DH is finally home. FIL is doing well. He did have to go back into hospital this week because his water gain again went through the roof, but they have him on diuretics and have that stabilized again...didn't help that they were taking DH out for tex-mex and seafood every night...too much salt for FIL. Here are some pics of Razz, our new Catahoula. The pics don't show his spots very well, they are a darker red. He is a very goofy, licky puppy with no manners. The first time he saw thw chickens (from inside the dog yard) every hair on his spine stood up, but he seems to like the babies in the living-room brooder - though he does have to check on them often. There was one tense moment when we first brought him in and Daisy immediately showed him who the big dog of the house was, but they have been playing most of the morning. He may actually be a good thing for Daisy...it's been a while since I've seen her romp and act silly.

Happy happy pup

Had a neighbor too lazy to go out with the dog so he would put it on the leash that stretched and stand at his door. We lived in a townhouse and needless to say the dog would come to our yard to relieve itself. DH said something to them and they said they would clean it up but they never did, so one day he raked it up and put it at the door where they let the dog out. They did not say anything but got mad when my husband put up a string between our properties to deter the dog because they continued with their practice. We got a really nasty vmail from his wife saying if we had a problem we could have talked to them......WHAT!? I guess we have to put it in a bag and set it on fire....which we never did.

We use to do that with cow poop around halloween.... Light it ring the bell and run............
