I always say there is nothing like a duck when you need one.

From the title I thought maybe people were talking about me.

Congrats on the new additions!
Not counting your chickens before they're hatched, just wishing good results!

44 of 'em huh? I suppose you are operating on the turkey strategy, where ya' start with about five times as many as ya' figure to end up with?

Well you know the old saying. Don't count your chickens before they hatch so if I have 44 eggs I might at least have a few new ones

When I saw "Cheap, cheap, cheap", I thought maybe you knew my brother in law.

I think young chicks say "cheep, cheep, cheep", don"t they?

One young chick I dated years ago always said "No". I always wondered what it took for her to say "OK"!

That there is the craziest thing I ever did hear! New-born chicks don"t know sheep from shinola, much less how to spell human words. Besides, they would "pronounce" the two words identically - if they knew anything about pronunciation! Of course, if they were store-bought instead of home-hatched, all bets are off.

Cheap is my middle name. Sometimes replace cheap with free, both work for me.

Depends on what kind of chicks he is talking about. Ha Ha

Aww old, you should post some pics after more hatch. Chicks are adorable... grown chickens, I do not like (except for eating).

Well so far as of this morning I have 2 that have hatched and 17 that show signs of trying to hatch. I have an old incubator that I put them in after they hatch and use it to help dry them off and keep them warm. I then after a day or 2 place them in a big plastic storage type thing I have that is covered and has a light in and keep them there till they feather out real well and then move them to the chicken house. Some times I get lucky and the hen that I have sitting on duck eggs will hatch the eggs about the same time so she mothers the chicks and ducks

Hills....

I went out to my brooder house and double-checked; I distinctly heard "Cheep, cheep, cheep". Nary a "Cheap, cheap, cheap".

I asked them if they knew what a sheep was, one of them said her uncle said something about a "Sheap", but didn"t know about a sheep.

Sadly, not a one of them knew anything about shinola. More"s the pity.

If yer from the hills, maybe you can help me with a couple questions: I have heard that cows in your hills have 2 short legs and 2 long legs so that they can stand level on those hills. Is there anything to that? What do they do if they want to face the other way?
