Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

Good afternoon--just stopped by for a cup of coffee...the dentist was OK...I traded off having the dentist look at my teeth for two x-rays cause it had been a while for them...nothing new; but my teeth sure feel good! Now I have to drink coffee and stain them up again! LOL!

FT-I watched that video the first time you posted it...I had seen it before. I think it is amazing that they can train them to do that! Didnt have to watch it over and over though...woman--ya need to get a life!

No additional babies born today...of course now that they are all nice and confined...it would only figure! I did see some brand new wormies while doing house keeping on my meal worm bins! Really have to strain your eyes to see them for sure!
Jim it is funny that you say how nice the snow looks when it first falls...I had that exact same thought when I went through the gate this morning! Thinking how, in an hour, it would look so trampled down! 35 geese really do a good job for sure! My guineas are starting to lay. I found a couple eggs in the coop.

One bad thing this morning...I heard the cat jump down onto the incubator and heard a crack! The tub-o-lard cracked the top right between the windows! It oushed back up into place but now I have t keep a cookie sheet on top so they dont press it back down by laying on it! I checked the eggs when I opened it and one had quite the crack/hole in it.

I took some of my scrapbook sticky tabs and taped over it. It was into the air space so I hope the chick will be alright. It was one of the ones from my coop. There are 5 of the ones you brought Bigfam that are developing...lockdown already at the end of the week! This has gone by quickly! I wont candle again (I dont think). I cant ever see anything but a huge dark blob that near to hatching.
BL4--I wanted to ask how you see into the call eggs to see if they have internally pipped? WHat does it look like? (have a link?)

OK I better go out and shut off the water...I am sure the waterbirds have made a sufficient mess by now! They love it soooo much! I hope everyone is getting something accomplished today! Oh yeah--if anyone is watching the dog show tonight, my BFF's daughter is in the finals for Juniors showing a Field Spaniel. Her name is Grace Kofron...see if you can catch her! She is a very good showman! (woman?) Terri O
 
I just love the expressions on those monkeys faces etc. Plus I love looking around at the bar.
A few years ago when i had seen it before I didn't have chickens.

Did you notice at the beginning of the video in the wide view what was sitting at the end of the bar?

A big pickle jar with Pickled eggs!

I see something different every time I watch it !! lol

Now what i would like to find is a cartoon video with chinese guys singing a song which I can't think of but the words were changed to chinese food !!! Shoot. Sucks getting old. All that is on my old fried computer. (Fried hard drive so can't get off of)
 
Hey, DrH... if you don't want to cut down all those logs you can throw them in the back of the truck when we get the stove

Be back later...

Discovered today it IS my mixed polish top hat banty that is laying the green eggs-very odd. I thought top hats would lay white-and being mixed would be lght brown...no signs of EE in Opal either. The only other green egg laying breed she could be mixed with would be silkie right? And there are no signs of silkie mix either
 
Afternoon All!!
I forgot to mention in my last post the today is........LOCKDOWN DAY!!!!! Yeah!!!!
wee.gif

I candled but it was day seven I think. Day seven is hard for me to tell what is going on in the egg so I usually candle again at day 10. Day ten is when I toss the clears....Well anyway, I candled day seven and forgot to candle again on day 10. I kept meaning to candle but by the time I remembered I was already in bed and telling myself I'll candle tomorrow...Tomorrow came and went and still I never got around to candling. Ah well, it will be a surprise on the hatch....I hope they hatch....please hatch poor little neglected eggies....
fl.gif

Oh man..now the stress and hand wringing begins....my stomach is already quivering just thinking about the hatch....Argh!!!
Oh and btw, SG is indeed broody. Stupid Bird. The angst I'm going through on the egg hatch would not be necessary if SG decided to not get off the nest....No sooner did DH show up and the eggs in the bator then the stupid hen got back on the nest. Of course she left the nest long enough to make me have to get the incubator out and to her job.... Oh wait, this is Super Glue I'm talking about...why am I surprised.....
For those of you who might wonder SG is my avi....stupid bird...
 
Yes it is BF4u-Don't get it. And yes BBP I still tend to refer to Opal as "he". She has mellowed out a little-when going through "teen" ormone period-acted like a rooster-would jump at me with her feet-lil brat!
 
My pic is me with a cannon on top of Edinburgh Castle in Scotland, end of Sep. Nothing like a powerful weapon, made of cold hard iron, to stand next too... But my hubby thinks his weapon is best...

I opened MY BIG mouth on Sunday and told her where DH & I are going next Friday (Resch center, foxworthy/engval/larry cable guy) she calls today and asked how much we paid for tickets cause dad would like to go.

STUPID me! I told you, that woman invites herself everywhere! I;m not telling her where we are sitting OR eating! and we are NOT riding together PERIOD!
Im sorry but she nags/whins about everything. she's mad at me cause I told her that my family are going to enjoy each other tonight for Valentines day instead of going to the couples supper at church. I'm I just so horrible?

I think you said this once before? my silkies lay light brown/tan eggs unless of course you mix them with EE as I did also.

speaking of eggs, I've been meaning to look this up but I keep forgetting, what color/shape/size are guiney eggs? I find small, tanish, pointy one end eggs on the coop floor every once in a while. just this past 2 weeks ish.
gotta run, making parmesan cheese and cheddar garlic (croutons) crusted bacon wrapped chicken breast, with a side of broccoli cheese soup, side salad, asparagus, baby carrots and chocolate covered strawberries and bannana for supper and for dessert choc. chip cookies ah la mode (choc ice cream) lol got 1 hour to get it all done.
later
