Do you have to turn them to distribute the heat and spray them?
I used to have to go into school twice a day to do that when I first hatched eggs there as the incubator wasn't very sophisticated, clocking up almost 100 extra miles a week. Then I decided I would start them off in school and take them home until they were due to hatch, which was much easier and cheaper.

Our school’s Year 1 tried to hatch some chicks but it didn’t work. :( I think it’s because they didn’t have Lyn. Then a mom stepped in and brought some chicks from her own farm and let the Year 1’s pretend they did it. [emoji85]

Husband and I had to hold two of those chicks at an assembly for the children to pet them. :rolleyes: Fortunately nobody took a picture of me doing it, because I was the photographer for that day. [emoji23]

They're all as bad as one another:rolleyes:
Some countries breathe a sigh of relief when they don't win because winning countries have to host it the next year and it costs a fortune!!
Ireland won it 3 years on the trot in the 90s and it's rumoured they deliberately entered a poorer song the following year because the cost of winning was too great!

LOL, Ukraine did that too after their win. [emoji23]

Hello?........ anyone there?.........
I’ve been lost in a corner somewhere for a couple weeks. It feels ages since I’ve been on here (probably a week ago):D

I’m might be looking after a five year old tortoise this summer. She’s a mix of a Greek and Tunisian tortoise but she’s doing well. The lady who put her up for adoption kept the parents together, a female Greek and a male Tunisian.

It’s all Greek to me... Glad you’ve found your way out. Not everyone has. [emoji33]

Whew. HOT here today and rising temps. Close to 90 already and hotter tomorrow.

Our peonies that bloomed wonderfully well for US Mothers Day are looking very sad today. Wifey dead headed a good amount.

On the plus side, our Knock Out Roses are kicking in to gear now and will provide our sidewalk to fron door with some splashes of color through Summer. Banana trees are enjoying the heat too!

Beautiful. Don’t know why you’re looking into moving to Florida. You have a great property! :)

I watched one of the shows on TV like monster inside me. A teenage boy was playing with a dead armadillo. He ended up in the hospital on his deathbed. Doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong. Somehow they found out he had been playing with a dead armadillo. The boy had contracted leprosy. They say the only way to get leprosy is from armadillos.
Dont know if that's true but it was on TV.
I guess it's time to go to Google.

OK, we might have to rethink the CDR setup! [emoji33]

What do you’ve against being photographed with cute little chicks [emoji213]???? You might have saved one from lots more little grubby hands . During the photograph, You could have been the two seconds of peace that it needed to keep it chirping... or that photo might have been it one claim to fame?? Ever think about that?? Huh? huh?? Well do ya, punk???

Good mornooning, roommates! A muggy Monday here. I’m busy selling off some of our things ahead of the move in late June. Dealing with some buyers makes me think how much easier it would be to just donate everything. :rolleyes:

Happy Monday! I’ll wish you good sales and less exposure to irritating people:)))

Good luck with the selling! I was able to sell my mountain bike yesterday - nice, easy transaction.

The Florida Department of Health had to put out a public service message a while back, telling people not to play with armadillos. The babies are cute (they come in litters of four), but leprosy is a real concern. They're also susceptible to other diseases, including foot-and-mouth disease.
