What to do while waiting

[Impress]

You should have witnessed the weeklong fiasco I had convincing my hubs to let me start a coop of Lemon Cuckoo Orpingtons. "but honey, the chicks sell for $15 each here!" "more chickens?" "FIFTEEN DOLLARS A CHICK! AND THEY ARE SO FLUFFY I WANT TO DIE!" *dirty look from husband*

I still haven't cleaned out the coop. ;P

I know what you mean on the expensive chickens. I'm buying some Cream Legbar eggs

Hopefully I'll get a good hatch off the 4 eggs (all I can afford) and I won't get all roosters! (I totally didn't tell Mr how much I spent on the **** eggs either)

I got lucky with my lemon cuckoo Orpington eggs, less than a dollar an egg. It turned out being a friendly crazy chicken lady paid off there. I have been coveting some Coronation Sussex eggs though, being sold one town over for $20 an egg. *bites lip*

Read the mealworm farming thread. It is over 500 pages.

Start a mealworm farm. You will have thousands of them by the time the chickens start laying.

Same thing here, but he answers with, "how big does the coop need to be?" all disheartened like. But he gets bored without a task, and then he gets sullen. So I send him out and put him to work. When we are working on something he always thanks me and tells me how I should come up with something every weekend for him to build...so I'm trying...Lol.

I knew I should have left the 'bator on! I'm having a hard time getting the temperature right. Oh well. I have until Monday. (I accidentally wrote Monay. Is that like money? If so it is sadly not true. I don't have Monet either. Bummer. I guess that means I'm Baroque. Oh dear, I crack myself up.)

Bugger. I just realized something very important.

The eggs will get here tomorrow. (saturday)
I have to wait until Monday afternoon to set them at my daughter's school.
I HAVE TO WAIT AND SIT ON MY HANDS ALL DAY SUNDAY AND NOT SET THE EGGS EARLY
I don' t know if I can do it.
