No more rockers or zips yet otonoh that I can tell the 3 are now plowing willy nilly through the bator. 2 more still zippin. Jim did I read that right about a hatching bator? Thinking once they zip that would be a good thing to do, move them out of the zippin bator into a drunken stumble bator. Willy Nilly for everyone!

If I could find somebody to split my tractor for $175.oo I wouldn't even hesitate to have it done.. I am set up for it, but it would mean a major garage cleanout to get at the chain hoist..

If I do split it, I am going to automatically put a new clutch and throw out bearing in.. saves doing it again for awhile..

I added a green house on the whole south side of my house.. I put hot water coils under the floor out there.. the spillover heat from out there does a major part of heating the rest of the house,,,especially when the sun is shining..

That freaks me out! Willy Nilly, Tumble Bumble, what next Pell Mell? Said the Pokey Little Puppy! I'm not naming any more their otonoh's kids. Seems it's bad luck to name them for me. I need some Bose headphones! I'm running back and forth from the porch to the bator to here. The one in the brooder box that's NOT named Baby is all fluffed out now. I'll get a pic. Stinkin cute buggars! Either I gotta learn to relax or self medicate more often.

how come you took the chick out of the incubator BEFORE it was dry?

ps cute names

 

[Dr HaHa]

raim you know responding only encourages me. The chick was dry but not quite fluffy yet, thought about putting it in the dryer on the fluff cycle.... Guess just felt that it was turning the other eggs over and reducing the chance of them hatching. Is that line of thought wrong? I'm not kidding! I need all the help I can get this is only my second time hatching. Obviously! L told me yesterday that she did a pantomime of me with the hatching for ol folks at work. 2 seconds in the chair, make a lap and back to the chair for 2 seconds of rest.

DrH--you'd better hide fast! RAIMNEL is gonna get you!!!! RUN......Forest......RUN!

Great on the help...I really did think you were going to say, "I took the tweezers and pinched myself REALLY hard." Jim woulda liked that!
Candled here before lockdown and tossed only 2! They were unfertile....I had marked them as such. Test eggs for my big cochin roo "Hop-a-Long," he might hop along but I dont think he is hopping ON--

BCC--you are taking a spinning class? I used to spin when I actually sheered my sheep....I have 4-5 bags of wool to card and I really want to get back to it! yeah...another project for when I am 80!

OK Jim and DrH...I have read and read about your "splitting a tractor." Does it literally mean splitting it in half to get at the innards? How do you glue it back together and why dont they make them so you can get at what you need without splitting it? (if that is what it means....) Please enlighten me!

My guineas are across the road again...I really wish they would go to the other 3 sides of my property...always across the road! I already lost 2 this year to cars!

This morning I got the bathroom done, lentil soup in the CP for dinner, cat boxes and one cupboard cleaned. If my farmer neighbor hadnt stopped over I could have gotten more accomplished...oh well, it was a nice visit! And now it is the end of my "lunch break" Back to that slave driver timer! Later!

TO I'm not ascared of her she's cool! Most tractors drive trains run thru the center of it. It's all in line for the most part. Rear wheeled cars have a driveshaft hanging underneath to the back axle, some Chevys, Hudsons, and others were enclosed [you remember those don't you?

] Therefore you have split the tractor in half to get at the clutch assembly. My tractor is a tricycle configuration that is to say it has a narrow front end some have a wide front end so it's a balancing/support act to take it apart. If your not set up for it, it can lead to very bad/expensive/painfull things. Aren't you glad you got up today? I know I am! Dang cute chicks!

Well who the HE!! came up with that design? Musta been a man....

Why dont they put hinges on it so you can open it like that? Now THAT woudl be smart! So you DO have to literally split it apart. You didnt say how you stick it back together...and dont say duct tape!

Something weird is going on at my farm...I noticed a couple of geese the other day that have zip tie bands on their legs...I have NEVER used a zip tie on a goose! My neighbor thinks that somebody threw them over my fence....just my luck, I am trying to get rid of geese and more appear! Another thing appeared too: remember the broody that hatched birdies in the ceiling? When I brought her and them down I put them into a bucket to carry them. ELEVEN of them...now there are 12! I swear I am going crazy...if another kid shows up at the dinner table tonight I am going to have to be committed...I am glad your coop is ready David...I might be there by Easter. (I have to see if my eggs hatch first!)
Gotta go and walk a dog....Terri O
