Yes, the tower guy was new and didn't recognize my vehicle when I went up to the actual prison, so patrol was called on me, lol. Ah well, no biggy, just embarrassing! I'm going to miss living there though.

chiqita, I think that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to try a pickled beet recipe. I kinda like the sweet taste. I'm hungry now.

You are going to miss LIVING there? DO tell.

Well, yeah! They plowed the driveway, inmates shoveled the walks, mowed the grass and all that. Now we have 4.5 acres of grass to mow, a long driveway to plow and too many walkways to shovel, LOL!

I'd miss living there too, did they do windows too. haha

Just curious, WHat does everyone use to incubate? I have a Hovabator 1588 which I love so far. My DH bought me a second incubator for valentines day to use as a hatcher, a Farm innovators 4200 pro series. I felt bad telling him but I dont really like it and want another hovabator... I think I may order one today and hope it gets here in time. But What do you all use?

I use a Sportsmen GQF 1502, and would not want anything else. This bator does all the work and has a very quick recovery, no mater how much you open the door. Once you set it up and have it set, you're good as long as it is in use. I open mine several times a day, just put in the eggs and take out the chicks, the bator does all the work. I add water and occasionally a new humidity pad(sponge water wick), but that's all there is to it.

I don't like the "vinegary" taste. I LOVE the taste of pickled beets, so I would want my pickled eggs to taste like pickled beets. I guess I could use the pickled juice from a jar of beets and put the eggs in there. Do you think that would work?

It should, I do that with dill pickles all the time. Just reheat it, so the jars will seal.

I'd miss living there too, did they do windows too. haha

Mine have started laying I will probably try to hatch them in the incubator this year.

I won't get off topic and talk about geese, since this is our turkey thread. But have to ask, have you hatched goose eggs in an incubator before. I'm studying and reading and I have a HEADACHE !!!!!!!!!!!
