Good morning all! Man--I still cant get used to this keyboard! I really like the computer though--I think you asked Bigz...it is a DELL Inspiron. My DH says to go to the Dell outlet he thinks it is outlet.dell.com--had a 20% off from Dell so we got a good deal on a last year's model! (and it's GREEN!
)
Goth--I was reading on an auction and the woman selling BCM eggs said not to think that you can hatch them like "other eggs" something about really low humidity and evaporation and sanding some of the color off of the eggs...she is a big breeder on here. I guess I would look her up and see what she has to say before you buy more eggs!
Silly about the clock Raimnel! At least you only have to look at an incorrect time for a week!
Only as soon as that clock is correct you will still be adding an hour....dont be early to everything! DrH--I agree with Bigz...you need them NOW! I sure hope you took pics before you started working. What a mess!
Not too much news here on my place...my son came back from a party last night in Madison...could hardly stand up and had no idea how he got home! He said he was staying...might have to have a little talk to those guys unless they had a DD. (probably unlikely) The bachelor pad in my barn is working out great! The roos dont seem to mind all being in there together. I did have to take out Hop-a-Long; he is my big cochin and doesnt have a mean bone in his body--they were thinking about beating him up so he has private quarters again...I made a bunch of new roosting spots in my coop to get the birds up for the winter and whenI checked them last night no one was on the new roost! Silly birds! I bet they are a bunch warmer though...got the windows and screen side covered for the most part--more work for today. I almost thought the turkeys were foing to go up in the rafters...then we had to leave so I had to open the door so the chickens could dome in...when we got home those turkeys were back in the trees! When I feed this morning I am going to catch up all the hens that stay outside and pen them in the coop to see if I can get them to go in...still dont know about the turkeys and guineas though--they are fast buggers!
I think I will try your method for the eggs DrH. I have a bunch of quarts canned right now but DH likes to have a jar in the fridge to snack on all the time! Too bad about your pickle chunks...what was wrong with them? Mushy? Salty? Rancid? At least the chickens will have some to eat! Speaking of that...I have mine a big chunk of Muenster cheese that was a bit slimy from the fridge...my God! You would have thought it was their favorite food of all time the way they dove on it! It was crazy to see 50 hens all righting for a bite of that! Who would have guessed that chickens LOVE cheese?
Well, got some fresh herbs from a friend last night so I am making some herb jelly today...and some hot pepper jelly and (what the heck)--guess I will do the pepper mustard too! Lots of work--better get to it!
Have a fantastic day everyone! Terri O
Edit--DrH, try slicing the egg with an eggslicer. the yolk in smaller bites works for me!
