There have been 19,403 posts on this thread since my last visit here. Haha. I hope everyone is well. I'm waiting for coffee to brew so thought of y'all. I threw a dozen EE eggs in the bator. I'm going to sell them all. I'll set more in a few weeks. :frow

I learned this trick working at Denny's Restaurant. Haha.

I think as long as it's edible rock salt.

I'm going to look for a follow up. :hugs I hope everything is ok with you.

Ice, kosher or other large grain edible salt, swish around decanter, add a little water, swish, keep doing that until the film is gone. Vinegar works well to, so you can keep doing that too.

Is that for me? If lozerface is still awake they'll need it. I still have to read more. If it's for me, thank you, kindly.

Good morning. Good news: I candled last night and I have 4 CCL mixes and 3 BCM mixes from my flock developing. The roos are a non-standard Wheaten Ameraucana (cream in hackles) and an imperfect Cream Brabanter (gold in hackles). I'm excited to see what comes out of them. EE/OE possibly The best...

Sleep. They'll be fine!

Morning. Fighting another round of viral illnesses in our house. Sorted eggs yesterday. Only 1 left out of 33 that were sent from TX. No more buying shipped eggs from TX for me. While they have a variety of birds thanks to their climate, the USPS trip between there and here has killed too many...

@Sally Sunshine Update: PRI 2.0 running well. 13 mixed breed eggs with questionable fertility in there due 4/9. Setting 12 Cream Brabanter in tomorrow morning. MacGyverbator holding 5 Cream Brabanter due 4/1. The other 10 were tossed on Day 8 due to blood rings and no development. MacGyverbator...

Some pictures: My 10 chicks that are 3 weeks old: A better shot: Zoomed to these few for their awesome mohawks:

I thought I'd hate that too, but I tried keeping water near the maker and realized that I end up rinsing out the carafe and coffee grounds holders daily anyway so I might as well just grab water then instead of storing water on the counter.

I understand. My duck plan is pretty weak. I have two little pond liner things that I'd have to put in the ground somewhere and build a coop/run around that area. We free range right now but I'd have to consider fencing I guess.

Yes, that's what I meant. Have you already set some Harlequins?

I'm usually a fan of yellow fluff, but the Cayugas are adorable. I'll probably use a hatchery if I can't find a good breeder. When will you be getting some eggs in your incubator?

I recommend the Hamilton Beach http://www.amazon.com/Hamilton-Beach-Single-Coffee-49980A/dp/B00EI7DPPI My only recommendation is that for strong coffee the carafe is best and for single serve I recommend using less water. I enjoy that we can brew a pot daily but when it runs out just grab a cup.

I love Welsh Harlequins too. My goal is Cayuga Ducks, but I haven't found a great source yet. I'm going to hatch my own too.

Yay, Banti! What kind of ducks? I'm sure some ducks will at least pass through my farm this year. MC, how do you thicken your coffee? Haha. I always drink mine with a packet of hot chocolate. We double the amount of coffee grounds recommended for our coffee. The stronger the better. Luckily DH...

Good morning. Drinking coffee and thinking about catching up on this forum. MC, how's your coffee? What did I miss in the last 500 posts?

@Sally Sunshine Candled tonight. Day 8. I tossed 10/15. 5 clear with rolling air cells, 5 blood rings. 5 are still cooking in the MacGyverbator. Each looks okay but I know it's an uphill battle I face with shipped eggs. I got the Pleasant Row Incubator 2.0 (the new fridge incubator will be...
