Why come ain't you people indoors posting on this beautiful day? Don't you know the sun will kill you?
So here's a story for you. RoboJr and I go to the farm this morning to feed the animals. Why did Robo go instead of GAM you might ask yourself. Well it's easy..... I had no choice. GAM abandoned us. Left us high and dry. Went to Virginia. Can you believe that? And for what? Just to go see her daddy. Doesn't she know she has a family to take care of? Oh wait... the story. So anyhow, we get back from feeding. Now GAM made sure to make life as difficult as possible for me before she left. She went away with a GQF 1502 sportsman full of eggs. AND NO INSTRUCTIONS. I did the best I could. I really did. I looked in once a day while I was adding more eggs from the farm. I had to ya know... nobody here to cook them for me. Didn't see any pips so I figured it was all good. So back to today. We get home and RoboJr says he hears a peep. I said no way. He said yes way. I said are you sure it wasn't the dog. He said he was sure. So I told him to get me a flash light. He did. He's a good kid. He even turned it on for me. So I said thank you Helpy Helperton. He said you're welcome and handed me the flashlight. By this time I'm thinking he was right about the noise not being the dog since it was coming from inside the incubator but I looked in anyway just to be sure. And there it was. I couldn't believe it. A chick had been born. A fluffy little yellow chick. So cute. And so happy. Just hanging there by it's neck. It had zipped the top of the egg off that was standing upright in the tray. It had then climbed out. And promptly (I'm assuming) fell through the hole next door. Now how its body went through the hole but the head didn't is something of wonder. But there it was sure as the sun will kill you just hanging around. So I tried to unstuck him. There was no room to work inside the incubator so I tried to pull out the tray. It was hard because the eggs were just the teensiest it too tall to clear the other rack. Did you know if you put just the right pressure on just the right spot of an egg that's been incubating it will POP like a balloon? It will. Try it if you don't believe me. But anyway, I was successful in my chick rescuing efforts. The chick came out none the worse for the wear. And he was already dry so I didn't get any icky stuff on my hands. I named him Wan Hung Lo.
The End.
I'm going back out to take my chances with the sun now.
Laugh it up fluzz ball! I have an auto-immune issue and my body attacks itself when I am in sun very long. Not to mention I end up looking like a scary red faced clown! You enjoy that sun, me and my vampire skin will be inside till dusk! (I am also allergic to sun screen! Fun right?) Really though, enjoy the beautiful weather! How much damage can you do out there. Can't you BBQ for yourself and Jr or something?
You so rock being the chick hero but um.... you cleaned up the broken egg? Was it a bad egg?
