I don't know how helpful the dog would be, but once you've got a few thousand critters, what's one more anyway?

4,396 good eggs and counting.......... OK girls, that's ENOUGH now....

I feel like with every egg I put into an incubating container, it's like looking like yet another work order piling up in my inbox. I feel like running away from home.

Feel free to send any eggs my way lol

That's alot of good eggs! How many more do you think you will get this year?

If there are still unwanted leftovers after Torsten, I'd graciously help out in homing them.

I'm sorry you feel like running away from home, though. The trouble with making one's livelihood from livestock is that running away from home isn't feasible with all those thousands of mouths to feed. (Yeah, I know you already know that.) I'll say a prayer and send positive energy to you and Connie. May you wake tomorrow morning refreshed and renewed, with energy, strength and excitement for the day.

Why thank you... But to be honest, the time we need that extra energy the most is right around midnight during the hatching season. If you have a spell that works to take away an aching back and legs, and this sharp nagging pain I've been having in my hip lately, I sure would appreciate it. Oh yeah, then there is my eyesight and hearing getting worse. And my memory.... uh.... Aw heck, why not just go for a complete overhaul? Lots of things on me don't work they way they used to......
