Wow. I go away for a few days and you all go nuts with posts! Or maybe we're always this chatty and I never noticed. Skimming through and trying to catch up.
Red, hope the adjuster gives you fair price for the truck. I ditto TeeRex's advice. I'm so glad your other icelandic turned up! You've had a bad year for chickens, haven't you?
Sundance, sorry that the asthma is acting up so badly from the smoke. My dd has asthma, and bad air quality days are tough for her. Have a blast on your cruise. Your incubating eggs are gorgeous. Love them. I hope you have a wonderful time.
Daloorashens, I used modpodge to keep the dolphins on there.
Cream Legbars- I've seen the hatching eggs, and they are a lovely shade of blue, comparable to an ameraucana. I have a pair, but they're nowhere near ready to lay.
I did declare my incubator retired for the season. I had a friend with a broody, and told her she could borrow my incubator if her hen quit on her. Wouldn't you know it, the *&((& bird stopped on day 20!!!! She borrowed the bator and hatched 4 healthy chicks. That doesn't count, right?
Cynthia, you are so sweet to give your condolences. That particular cousin was not someone I was at all close to- I'd see him AT MOST once a year, and with a big group of people, so we never really established a close friendship. I feel bad though because he was barely 30, and had a wife and toddler. Plus, that side of the family has had a LOT of death lately, so I feel really bad for them. As far as impacting me directly, it didn't at all (is that harsh to say?).
Kidasoto, your daughter is so cute! Congrats on the tri for her. What a great accomplishment!
UtahChickenDad, CONGRATS on your first egg!!!
Welcome, ScottReed!
Lisa, I worried that RW would be awful- I saw that they were charging for parking, which annoyed me. Plus, that Pass of All Passes was so cheap, and so promoted, I was worried it'd be crazy crowded. I don't like waiting in lines, so I would've hated that. My sister lavs are starting to get a little pink in the face, but I don't think they'll lay for at least another month. Congratulations on two new grandbabies! Very exciting! I hope the babies can be very close friends. It's been fun. Have you found a incubator sitter for while you're out of town?
AuntHattie, congrats on your hatch. I can tell those chicks are going to be stunning.
Birdguy, I should've arranged a hello with you- I stopped in Idaho Falls for lunch today.
My trip to Yellowstone was a total blast. I had a wonderful time. I feel bad because my oldest hurt her ankle the first big hike we went on, so she missed out on Uncle Tom's trail and a bunch of other cool sites. I have tons of awesome pictures from the trip. Trying to get everything put away.
