Why did the prince go looking for the owner of the glass slipper? He needed to do a little sole searching.

A young boy is looking at the wall of plaques in the front of the church. The minister comes up behind him and asks him what he's thinking. The young boy asks the minister, "What are these for?" The minister tells him that the plaques are in honor of men who have died in service. After thinking for a minute, the young boy asks, "The 8:30 or the 10 o'clock one?"

ya gotta think like a kid here.............. or the kid in you

Sven and Ole were traveling from Minnesota to Kansas to see their cousin. They telephoned him before they left and said that they would see him in a few days. One month later, they arrived at their cousin's house and the cousin asked them what took them so long to arrive. Sven answered, "Well, when we got to the first rest stop there was a sign that read 'CLEAN RESTROOMS,' so we did. Do you know how many rest stops there are between here and Minnesota?"

And what is with the hatching eggs with lines drawn on them ?

I do not disturb....I candel at 10 days and sometimes not even that.
That's me....I do not handle the eggs once they are in the incubator.
I DO sniff, though...we keep a close eye, I mean NOSE on any smells...LOL

sniff, sniff, sniff need a Kleenex

A guy gets drunk and when the bar closes his friends take him home. Putting him to bed, they notice a big gong on the wall. "What's with the gong." "It's a talking clock", the drunk replies. "Watch..." He picks up a mallet next to the bed and hits the gong loudly. A moment later, they hear a voice from the other side of the wall say, "Hey idiot — it's 2:15 in the morning!"

shoulda, woulda, coulda

My eggs are in lock down now. I candled just before, but very quickly. So I didn't take a lot of time to watch for movement. I'm seeing a couple wobble in the incubator but I WANT TO SEE ALL OF THEM WOBBLING! Not just 2... yeah, call me greedy! LOL

I keep staring into the incubator, waiting, watching, making myself go cross eyed!

They will one one it is hard to leave the first in to hatch but their peeps will encourage the others

Chickens are wearing down coats 24/7. They don't need any help keeping warm. They do need shelter from wind, though, and a well ventilated coop with roosts away from any drafts.

Mostly I guess I was looking for 'feel good' snacks or treats for them. I have multiple coops that are insulated and draft free. I am just a softy on my livestock. My husband says I'm a wimp and that they are all going to be fine.

Still I know that I hate going outside to care for them when the wind is blowing and it's single digits. Our property is very flat and currently without trees for windbreaks. We have irrigated crops so trees are something the previous owners didn't think were necessary. I have started fruit trees but it's going to be a while.
