Afternoon everyone. Boy is it gloomy out. A friend brought me over a huge box so I can move the chicks to a bigger brooder. Sheesh with this weather it going to be while before I can get them outside. I had to move the goslings to the previous chick brooder since it is bigger than the tote they were in. I still have 3 ducks in my tub lol and went into lockdown this morning with more duck eggs. I candled last night one last time and I obviously have no clue what I'm looking at. When I candled on day 10, 12 out of 13 eggs had execellent veins and little bodies inside. Well last night I only seen movement in a couple . Most just looked blobby. I didnt see any blood rings though so I left all the eggs in. I guess it will be a surprise .

Love the ducks in the tub !!!! Are they yellow ??? LOL

What kind of ducks are you hatching ?

The eggs in the bator are pikin / mallard mixes and mallards.


These are the 3 in my tub, I had them outside the other day when it was near 50.

Time for another cup of coffee, wow I'm caught up with all of your BS, I mean postings...... guess I'll have to go searching on CL.

I passed up on some black runner ducks last month.... Wish now I would have gotten them.

I'm going to have to bring along a pvc pipe to run between our tent and Heathers so I don't get fumed out !!! ET's Indian name (he has a tiny bit of Cherokee in him) WIND IN HIS PANTS !!!! LOL

LOL you guys are hilarious this am......... love the dog name TO....... still snickering.........
anyway I finally candled my 22 eggs, 11 clears or early deaths, looked like clears, so wonder if my rooster just had to many hens to keep up with? or he is being a slacker, will see.
When I first started collecting eggs to hatch I had just separated them into there coops, so Hansom did have 28 girls to cover, so in his defense.......maybe he just couldn't chase them all down., now that he has only 11 every dam egg better be fertile the next batch, or he is gonna go to the freezer camp with all the rest of my roosters for this year. What good is he as nice as he is if he can't do the job he is being paid to do....
So anyway, Hubby is gone out to TN he's headed to Clarkesville, he had a shitty week last week, and I found out Friday just what a Bitchhhh his Dispatcher is, seems she had a hissy fit Friday, because he wouldn't/couldn't take a late load to Lacrosse, well when he pulled into GB to drop it was already midnight, and his pickup was in Neenah, so he came to get it and had just 33 minutes of drive time, so pulled in to sleep, load was suppose to deliver at 6am, this was 3 am......so she laded and egg Friday morning Pulled the load out from under him and chewed him a new one on the Qualcomm, and sent him home basically screwing him outa 679 miles. He did call dispatch at midnight to let them know he could not possible get it to lacrosse by 6am, and the night dispatcher told him to get it anyway.... he won't say anything but I feel like writing that BITCHhhhh a letter, seems she has been acting this way since she was first put over him last month.... to me she needs to be brought down a peg or 3, because she is more than discourteous, and rude, she is treating him like a piece of dirt.........like she has every right to walk on, I want to let her know she best back off, because that piece of dirt is my husband, and one of the nicest undemanding, polite men I have ever met........... I'm so mad I been a wreck all weekend, stressing out and just wanting to strangle her, in general......... The mama lion protecting her own..... ARGGGGGG Adam said she will just get worse, but what can she do to me, really that she already isn't doing............ so not sure what I'm gonna do.......but this craap she keeps him running like crazy which he doesn't mind, but she is riding him all the time drive more drive faster, ..as it is he barely has time to eat, he has lost 15 lbs since he started, cuz he is stopping only once a day to eat, and I am pretty pissedoff about that as well, anyone who knows us knows my hubby don't have extra weight top spare......he's 6"2 and now only 145 lbs at his physical ...he was 160........ b4 he started.....
. I mean really what does she want he has run over his 14 hour day several times because of her, and he is in hot water with the safety director and log department and she is still riding him like a bronco at the rodeo ..... I'm sooooooooOOOOO mad I could scream........
So now that I got that off my chest........grrrrrrr Nothing much else new around her, stopped to visit Jim this weekend, for some stress relief, and to get my rooster, so I can hatch me some SLW chicks...... he's is doing good the new pen is awsum, and way bigger in person than the posted pictures.... birds are doing good, his peacocks were gorgeous, the big guy was displaying like crazy when we were there. I also stole one of his little black hens with the white speckled neck, not sure what she is but I wanted her since last fall, so now at least my new roo is not all alone. she is teaching him respect though she has his comb bloody from pecking after him when he gets too rambunctious......
Well I guess I'm done venting and whats new...... so will be back later....... Have a great day ya all...........Kim


OOOPPPSssss forgot to ask I have a lady who wants eggs to hatch some of each, Dels, EE, SLW and mixed.... what should I charge her for a dozen she wants 2 ..

Ghostrider.... that sucks..... One day I hope she gets hers.... that's all I'm gonna say.....I believe in Karma...!!!

What came to my mind when I read your post ..... "When Mama Ain't Happy.... Ain't Anybody Happy!!! "

Maybe all of the wives should get together and gang up on this woman. I do agree though, if she isn't going to get fired I think it may just make everything worse. How long has she worked for the Company ?? Maybe if the drivers all stuck together and complained she wouldn't have anyone in particular to point a finger at for getting her ***** chewed out.

When there is a will there is a way.... Patience Patience.... she will get hers !!! At least you can hope so !!!


Edited to add (because I see she is online) You can always have Heather step in !!!
