I know it’s been over a month since i’ve posted anything here, but that’s what happens when nothing is happening in my life.. i wake up every day breathing and for that I am very thankful to God and Jesus!
I have some duck and chicken eggs in the incubator, no idea if any of them will hatch. Down to only 9 hens and only half of them are laying, and with two roosters after them, not sure if they are fertile or not. Am hoping that the ‘spotted’ eggs that have been fertilized by Yeller will hatch.. they’ll be orpington/rhode island and orpington/black sex link crosses, so they should make for some interesting biddies. *smile*. The duck eggs are crossed rhuen, black crested, and black canuga (sp?). Duke the male canuga finally figured out what he was born for (LOL) and so i get three eggs a day from Daisie, Dora, and Spider now. Jack hits em all 3 also, so they are double fertilized. laffin. I put them in the incubator on the 1st of Nov, so the next few days will tell if anything is going to hatch. Not supposed to mix duck and chicken eggs in same incubator but what the hell.. will take the egg turner out today and have to make a note to myself to move the duck eggs around for another week till they hatch.
Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. It’s a very poor month for the Lake City households this month, so it’s not going to be a huge dinner like usual, but will still be plenty and we’re all very grateful for surviving another year.
