YO GEORGIANS! :)

Georgia State Hopefully no one will change their minds about letting me take them! Haha. With them being partnered with the zoo and aquarium I'm going to get lots of awesome opportunities to work with animals while I study at the school.

   We are geeks and thought the same thing. We put the hard drive into 3 other laptops and so far no signs of life. Tried to boot with an external to jump the start up to get into but that failed too  

It probably needs to be connected as a slave drive to a desktop computer that has a good master drive with an existing boot setup

I'm CLOSE!! I could possibly (50 years ago) throw a rock into Georgia from where I am!

Lanett Alabama!

That's some good information for me to get my daughter to stay closer to home. She's taking a year off because she's having trouble deciding where to go and what to study, but she will definitely be working with animals. She's going to be a camp counselor at a summer camp that has a zoo, and when she gets back, she may already have a job at an animal shelter.

Um, I have a dilemma. Kinda. Maybe. Oops?

You see, @abmaddox1981 , @mrsdszoo , and I, all chipped in for about 100 eggs for a school project up in Covington. We "loaned" them to the school for free. We sent certain eggs with marks stating we definitely wanted those back (purebreds, or other lines that were important to us). The rest, they could adopt out to students IF they had parents' permission. Any not adopted, we would take back. It kinda keeps the teachers from making money off of something we GAVE to the school.

Well she got donations from other sources and ended up with almost 200 eggs. As of last week, she said about 165 still seemed viable. They were all due to hatch Monday.

I sent her a text asking how it went and she said the overall hatch rate was about 50%. I'm guessing that means about 100 chicks? And it turns out VERY few children took chicks home.

So on Sunday, she's going to show up at my house with all of the extra chicks. So I have a feeling that I'm about to get roughly 100 chicks, all at once, all less than a week old, and all different breeds (many probably even mixed breed).

Um....

Lanett Alabama!

Well how's it going in Lanett Alabama. I grew up in Chambers County Alabama, a little tiny place called Standing Rock. When I was a teenager if I wasn't at West Point Dam on Saturday night, I was in Valley, Alabama at the bowling alley. Now I'm getting homesick.

HAHAHA!!! Ok, now that Ive recovered a bit; I'm guessing they didn't keep track of which chicks came from which marked egg? I had a couple of silkies and AM marked. I could take what looks like them?

These little fuzzbutts were flopping around in my hatching box when I got home from work today, there are about 15 still in the process of hatching. The two on the left are Crested Cream Legbars, on the far left is the male. The three on the right are Rhodebars, the male is in the middle. I still have 42 more incubating that will hatch later this month. If anyone is interested in these auto-sexing breeds just let me know. I am finished hatching this year but I am still collecting fertile eggs fresh everyday. I have lots of little pullets and roos of different ages (all hatched since April 1st) available.

I'm hoping they did. I marked all of my EE's, but there were exactly 20 of those. And you and I were the only ones that had some marked. Abmaddox gave me 6 dozen, and said she didn't really care if any came back or not. I still have all six of her cartons sitting on my coffee stand.
