Hey Marty!!!

Hoping the pekins make their arrival soon! I finally got my eggs delivered today. Get to set them Sunday night assuming that my runner eggs come tomorrow.
I ended up with a margarita in a can from the convenience store. Budget sucks. Hubby's birthday is coming up and I'm trying to save for his gun safe.

I have a couple dozen quail eggs in the bator due on the 7th. I am thinking I may butcher my adults and sell my pen and the babies. We shall see.

Marty-So you need to let me know soon if you still want eggs. I am still tossing the idea of selling them around so I am not in a huge hurry.

The things we do for our men :::Sigh::: Jaz was telling me about some bottled margarita drinks that she bought a while back. I guess she threw them into the freezer and they actually became slushied. For the life of me I cannot remember the name of them.

If I ever get more pics, I will. Ironically the day before Luna was lost, I took pics, but since they mostly featured her (my favorite), I didn't have the heart to post them. I'm tired of death and looking at deat things and people, so i didn't. (micro rant)

The three eggs are still alive, and no pips yet, but they are all tilting. So far, so good.

Awwww, that is a bummer!! I sure would love to see how your precious dewlaps are growing up, though!

for your pekin eggs hatching!!

I discovered (or confirmed) last night that:
1) I can't find a peepee to save my life when vent sexing
2) That my two drakes and one female pekin are actually three drakes
3) That I really need to get rid of a couple pekin drakes

Julie, your squirrel is so cute! Is it friendly and pet-like?

Sue, love the birds!! Your buffs are especially cute! I also think Halloween is really neat looking. Too bad you can't keep them all!!

Quackers, bummer about having too many drakes. I know what you mean. I have a pen filled with them, but I can't seem to get myself to list them.

I can sometimes... but I tell everyone that if it looked like a girl it's a 50/50 shot I only figure I'm right when I find a pee pee
and thanks for complementing my birds

Maybe Janet but Freezer land was part of the original plan anyway . Halloween is one of the Classic Roman/Toulous cross that we hatched... to bad he's a boy
