Just read about your very hard morning and got concerned...really hope you get your heart checked out very soon!!! It may have been stress, but what if you did have a mild heart attack??? Please do get it checked it soon, okay? Don't want anything awful to happen to you

Thanks Bonnie.

I recently had a thorough heart workup and I have been informed that my heart is in excellent condition. Of course I know that factors are out there that can change that and what happened wasn't a normal situation at all. I'm sure it was just stress, but if I start feeling poorly or it happens again I'll certainly call my doctor.

Busy weekend planned!

Have to deliver some eggs in the morning on our way to Marion where we will hopefully be getting some turkey poults!

We'll be working on coops and doing some general clean up.

Boingo has another curve scheduled for Sunday.

So I won't be on much this weekend but will pop in when I can

Well, I'll miss ya if your not on, but I hope that you have a productive weekend.

How are the eggs in the bater doing? (I still think your gonna have a mini emu).

 

[elevan]

The bator is maintaining temp and humidity spot on so I'm for a good hatch. I can't candle them as they are too dark though.

Remember that Cinni has 2 of those eggs under her...we should see those in a couple weeks

 

[redtailgal]

I really cant wait for them to hatch. I know that you are excited!

 

[elevan]

Yeah, I've got duck, chicken and guinea eggs either under a broody or in the bator. And hoping to pick up some turkey poults tomorrow. Now I just need to find some goslings!

Baby bird excitement...

 

[redtailgal]

My son shudders at the thought of having geese around. He's never seen a goose that didnt hate him. lol

I thought about getting a few turkey poults for us, but I just dont want to get back into the bird thing right now. Maybe next year...........

sleep well tonight!

Do you have a spare male guinea?

I'm beginning to suspect I kept only females last fall when I sold off some / penned some for the winter. All I'm hearing down there is "pot rack, pot rack"....

If you do, point him in my direction and toss him realllllllly hard.

You might put a stamp on his bum in case he doesn't make it all the way. Mebbers someone nice will pick him up and drop him in the mail to finish the trip.

Please? Thank you.

eta, enjoy your weekend.

That is too funny. I like the "pot rack, pot rack". They really are smart creatures. Mine travel around all of the fields, going over fences, etc. And the stink bugs are no where to be seen. It is amazing. I can only assume that the Guineas are eatting them, because others near us are saying that the stink bugs are back.
