And it has a little more brownish look to it. They are precious!

Thank you and yes, it is more brownish.

Ok.. I had sewer drama, had to call the city.. long story but they were able to unclog the stop up saving me thousands of dollars. Apparently we have what's called a "community line".. Whatevs, I don't even wanna talk about it.
Then I got pulled over on the way home from Easter dinner. Apparently I have a broken head light.. good to know. This cop was a DB (starts with a D ends with a Bag.) I might have gotten lippy with him.. just sayin'.
What a day.

Going to the farm. My dad and the hubs are going to help me finish my coop. We're completely enclosing the coop. I'll take pics.

And here are the ducks I hatched for my friend. (The guy Julie got her/my rooster from.)

Poor QJ! What a day. Please tell me your not surrounded by unhappy smells not from your babies.....

I think they take special training for that D. Bag business. When my cousin became a cope, his whole personality changes when he's working. Good grief.

Oh forgot to add. Just candled my PR eggs and ALL 6 (because I got no extras mind you) have detached air cells. 2 look like the yolks are scrambled. The eggs were in a carton, not wrapped at all, just sitting there in the carton. With newspaper around it. Whatever!

I'll be lucky to get any hatches out of these eggs.

Are these the eggs you've waited and waited for? What a total drag


EyeHeartQuail- Looks like one is, but the other maybe a cayuga, sometimes they have a wee bit of white on them.

We were COMPLETELY surrounded by unhappy smells. It was bad. And then when the city got here they informed us our lines are not even on their maps which stemmed a huge, "Where does their line tie into the city" party. So now they're coming out Monday with special cameras to try to figure it out. What a mess.
And I hear ya on the cousin comment. This guy was a complete Butthead.

The eggs were the ones from PR that I had so much trouble with in the beginning.. how long have I been waiting.. something like 2 months or more? They are in such bad shape. You wouldn't believe it. I've never seen eggs in worse condition.

HAPPY EASTER !

I just hatched out another turkey! And another is coming. Had to help the last 2 and boy were they ready too. No yolk and this last one basically just popped out of there and took off runnin'!

Good experience though.

Aww, thanks Miss Lydia. Always a pleasure to see you.

When I candled last night (yeah, in lockdown, misted sponges right after before closing, and Humidity never went below 70%) some of my turkeys looked very active, so since the buttons from that bator were a day and a half late, I'm just gonna give them another day, and candle tonight again if nothing happening. I assume my other pheasents aren't gonna hatch, since the one is here. Too bad, but I guess that means pheasent for thanksgiving dinner. Having duck today.
