babies gone

A guy i was saving up eggs for to incubate came by a little while ago.  while showing him around my ‘farm’ and seein the girls who will be mama’s to his babies.. his SO saw my babies i had in the big pen..and asked how much i wanted for them.. so i sold them!! she took every one of them.. and then she saw Sweetie in with Mr Nibbles and wanted her too!  sooo.. all my babies are gone now.. is sooo quiet without them peeping *grin*.. she wanted one of my ducks too but Leonard said nooooooo to that idea.. laffin.  Since i was raising the babies to be replacements for their mama’s, i sure hope the eggs i have in the incubator now all hatch!   got 15 delaware eggs in there and hoping at least a doz of them hatch.  and they for sure wont be sold! 

i put some ‘rooster’ eggs in the incubator also, am gonna raise em to eat.. since i know what they eat, they’ll be nice and tender and no weird stuff fed to em.  grin.  by the time they are six months old, they are just the right size for broiling or frying.  mmmmm gooood eatin!

that’s it for now, have a good week!

testing

let’s see if this new font works.. kinda hard to read, may have to increase the size a bit

yeah that looks better!  hugggggglez

hmm

well something still not right.. when i post something, i have to turn archives off for it to show up.. dammed computers.. not sure if it’s a problem on my end with my blogger program, or if it’s on the blogger site.  oh well.. seems to work as long as i have archives off, so if u’ve missed anything in the last 2 years.. tuff cookies.. LOL.. hugggggglez

whew

ok, seems the archive function in my blogger account was messed up.. so turned it off, published page, fixed problem.. turned it back on, republished.. archives are now fixed and working and so are all my messages.. damm i hate computers!!!! LOL

found a really nice barebones system on ebay i’m gonna buy on the 30th.. 2.6 gig mb, 2 gig chip and fan, nice case included.. for only $150 including shipping.. not too bad of a deal.. comes with builtin sound and graphics but i have a new graphic card so will have to turn that off before i load it up first time.. got the new dvdr drives, new floppy, two harddrives, modem, etc.. just need a better mb.   so hopefully, in little over 2 wks, i’ll have a newer, better working piece of $hit and throw this pos in the dumpster! *s*  i’ll let ya know how it turns out.

Here’s a new pic of Charlotte.  Turned the babies out in the big pen yesterday, and Charlotte is sooooooo jealous!!!  I had to sit in the pen with them for a couple hours to keep her from attacking them all the time.. they were having a blast exploring their new larger space.. and fighting with the ducks over the corner of the fence! lol.. just gotta luv em!

Hugggggggggglez!

well heck

i posted two updates in the last week and neither of them are showing on the page.. hmmm.. wonder what is going on here.. oh well, here we go again in a nutshell sotaspeak

only one egg hatched out of the last batch.. something killed them all when i took them out of the egg turner… arghhh.. so not a single aracuana chick, just one of my red mixes.. dammit.. oh well, will try again with the delaware eggs i got yesterday and see how they do.  the 7 babies from 2 hatches ago are doing great, gonna turn em out to the big pen tomorrow.. let them run around the pen all day while the big girls are out, and then see how they do when their mama’s come in to roost at nite *s*.. should be fun.. lol

the 3 baby ducks are doin very well, i put them in the big pen last weekend cuz i needed the cage for the chicks.. they were driving Mr Nibbles nutty and wouldn’t let him eat, so he was losing too much weight.. just have the one baby in with him now and she doesn’t bother him much.  anyway, back to the ducks, Jack still doesn’t acknowledge them as being part of his species so he hasn’t adopted them into his harem yet.. Spidergirl keeps chasin em so i think she knows they are females and she doesn’t want ANY competition from them!!! lol.. i named em Daisie, Ditzi, and Dora.. Dora was named by my g-nephew who i ‘gave’ her too.. since big brother Jake owns Spidergirl. 

Charlotte is doing wonderful, she follows me around every time i go outside and really gets upset if i leave ‘the yard’.. lol.. she’s a real character.. i’m goin to try and find her a boyfriend soon so she can raise some babies of her own maybe.  she’ll prolly start laying in another couple months, so will have goose eggs to eat !! yummm.. don’t know if they are as rich as duck and turkey eggs, but am assuming they are.

k well that’s it for this week.  ya’ll have fun!

well the new graphic card i bought in march.. died on me.. kept crashing this stupid pos every 2 mins.. grrrrrr.. so took it back to office max and got a new one.. couldn’t find my receipt anywhere.. put in a ‘safe’ place and now can’t find where it is.. lol.. u know how that goes right?  but they looked up on their computer and saw where i bought it, so no problem.  sure glad i paid the extra 12 bucks for the 1 yr warranty now.. i’ll never buy another hardware piece from them without it!!

not much else goin on.. the baby chicks (7) are growing well and will be putting them out with the big girls prolly this weekend.. was gonna do it this weekend but Alberto blew thru with lots of rain (which we badly needed!!!!) and so kept em in the pen a little longer.. i did move them out of Mr Nibbles house though, he’s been losing weight cuz they won’t let him eat anything! lol.. so Sweetie is the only one in with him now, she’s just 1 wk old (yesterday), and not sure what to make of Mr Nibbles yet.. i hold and pet her a lot, gonna make her a pet.

that’s it for now, have a great week!
