my chickens totally agree with you

I don't know about "mad as a wet hen", but they were NOT HAPPY with all the rainshowers and the breezes that blew their feathers all backwards

spent much of the day huddled together on the coop perch, muttering to each other .. it's 41 inches long and exactly the right size to take seven chickens side by side

I am beginning to believe you...and am planning on keeping a handful to myself
Mine are all black...and maybe that friend will send me Cayuga duck eggs soon, and they lay BIGGER eggs than the runner ducks, and the eggs are BLACK!
But not so shiney....can you still touch them ?

Blue Ducklings, BlueDucklings,
How does your garden grow ?
With silver ducks and cinnemon ducks
And purple Calla Lilies all in a row ?

Thanks so much for the flower seeds and the pretty callas. I am planning to plant it by my front door as soon as it dries up a bit.

I've just plopped a yard of fluffy dirt in my new garden box and looks like I need another half a yard. I've built it 20inches tall. Next one will be a tad shorter.

The vege starts really have to go outside before they eat my grow lights. Creepy.

What is growing in the rest of the swamp? Anyone able to grow anything yet? Or is everything under wraps?

You are not going to "fairy-dust" believe this:

When I got home tonight (at 6), there were 3 pips. For the record: Eggs in incubator: April 21, 2011. Count April 22, 2011 as day 1. Temp: 99.5-.7 entire time. Little to no deivation. Humidity: 40-50%, closest to 40 to 45%. Today is per day 1 count - day 19...per actually in the incuabor - day 20.

Well, had to go pick up DS from Driver's Ed. Came home to :

It was 8:45 pm...I got 10 yo DD so that she could watch as I knew it was close and this is what she got to watch:

DD making kissy faces:

And Pica my dog wanting to see:

If you will notice, Pica the dog is standing in my hand. DS took the photo. Yes, that is a humidifier next to the incubator. I could not quite get the humidity up, so I used the cloth method in the bottom under the eggs and I put the humidifier near by as I figured my house could use the moisture anyway..I don't know if it is helpng or not, but my humidity is at 70%.

That is a wonderful birthday gift for your daughter! I'm guessing she'll get to name that chick for sure. Any other pips yet or is that one an early bird? I'm going to go improvise a dance in front of my gator right now. I'm starting to worry.

ETA: that would be bator, not gator. I don't have the latter.

I needed that this morning...thank you.
Okay, I am back...I clucked at them and did my chicken dance around the incubator. How often do I have to do this?

I'll try every 1/2 hour. No videos please.

Oh I'm pretty sure we do need video. I'll wait here for it.

I actually did the "chicken dance" around the incubator tonight and DH thought my cheese had finally slipped off my cracker.
