Linda I'm really sorry about your co-worker. I lost my sister Susie in 2006 during her second bout with Breast Cancer. My oldest son had a cancerous growth in an earlobe when he was 4. They had a plastic surgeon in the OR when they removed it and he's 31 and no more problems. You can't even see where the damage was on his ear. Thank God.

OK, so cookies you suck coffee through.....how are they if dunked cookies gross you out? LOL

I'm trying to listen to see if I really hear peeps coming out of one of the hatchers. I have 8 Phoenix, 3 OEs, 2 LT Sussex and 3 Games in different brooders and 4 quail in one. I hear peeping everywhere, so I'm hoping it's not my busy little Phoenix that decided it's play time.

I lost a ceramic egg. Since the Marans have been back in their pen, I have gotten 3 eggs! I find shells all over, but I can't seem to rescue the eggs in time. So I stuck a lighter colored ceramic egg in and figured I was good. The other day I picked up 2 eggs and then saw a light egg on the sand. I looked around and was really confused as to how it got there. I set eggs down and went back outside and later came in and marked them all. I was going to stick the one in the fridge, but marked it MARANS X and set it in a flat. I went back out and realized the ceramic egg was missing, so later I scratched out the mark and wrote FAKE on it so I wouldn't be fooled again. Next morning my youngest daughter came home and I was telling her what I did. Mind you I had tried to tap the egg on the sink and yep, ceramic. Didn't break. So I didn't show her what I wrote on it,  but during my story and demonstration I suddenly held the egg up and let it drop. My daughter looked down and then looked at me. I hadn't gotten to the part where it was a ceramic egg, I was just showing how I goofed. I started laughing as she was handing me a paper towel and a spray cleaner. Gee, wrong egg.......I still haven't found that sucker! I gave away about 100 eggs this week. Mostly mixed breeds. I also shipped out a few dozen eggs that I sold. Kind of waiting to hear from someone, anyone, who may have my ceramic egg. I've checked, double check and checked again and it's not here. oops
