Ok no laughing now.

3 glasses of wine, chooks are in bed and I'm about to turn in.

Today is the day the Incy stopped turning.  I look at the eggs and oops - one looks very skew-whiff.  So I put it straight.  Half an hour later - quick trip to the loo and on the way back notice it is back in the same position (yes I know - Incy in bedroom - how sad is that )

So methinks - could have sworn I put that straight - blast I must stop drinking that wine - straighten it again - and low and behold, minutes later it's back where it was.

I reckon that one has a wicked sense of humour and is going to be my star cockerel.

hi gsc has anything else happended lately?

[gsc]

Don't think I'm going to get much sleep tonight  :blink:

I swear Casey had it in for me when she said prob. Wed.

1 last night then I waited all day and thought ' well that was a one off then' and suddenly they are hatching all over the place.  3 more out in the last hour and I reckon all the Wyandottes will hatch tonight leaving just the Lav Araucana - lazy devils.

EXCEPT the silver pencilled wyandotte I had off my local lady looks very BLACK and nothing like the first silver to hatch. 

mmmmm  She was a little vague.

It's always a bit of a mystery when they hatch... my silver laced wyandotte bantam chicks have feathery legs    So goodness knows hwat they are going to grow into!

[gsc]

Lol Casey

I am now 8 down and 4 to go.

We had our incubator in our spare room as it kept an even temp, when it came to brooding we made a corral out of ply board and hung a ruby from the ceiling. One night we had a knock on the door and there stood two boys in blue wanting to know why I was shining a red light from my window (!)

Me - Its for my chicks
PC - Yeah right
Me - Honest, I got chicks brooding
PC - I've heard it all now, show me.
Me - Ok, but I'm telling you it's for my chicks.

So we went upstairs and opened up the door

PC - Well I be blowed (muttering into his radio, no Sarg its not a knocking shop, she's got chicks.............Sarg.........yes I'm looking at them..........listen (hold radio to the peeping chicks) Ok Sarg....out)) The other PC was in near hysterics with laughter 


Errr we went and bought a heat emitting only lamp, but apparently our lamp was shining out across the valley and someone presumed Cynthia Payne had moved in, lololol

[gsc]

Wow that one's even better than me streaking in the nuddy to let the cat out only to find the postman had come early,

[Wild Pony]

Noooo, how embarassing!! lololol I've had one cheeky postie ask why I was in pj's at midday,doh, coz I'm a night nurse dweeb. Some peeps can't understand that concept at all.

[joyfull]

luckily it was the police knocking and not a potential customer
