YAY SANDY!!! yeah, yotes are nothing without a nose, but martin was scent free
except the deet of course. lol. so unless they know deet.....which is totally possible. i think they knew something was different....they're smart that way. we tried, we had a good day. i sure hope i see a nice photo of a yote on the forum in short order! you have the PERFECT set up with a railing to steady you and a nice comfy chair LOL good luck!!!!!well, just dropped my youngest dog (the bouncy GSP) off at the vet. We got him from a quite reputable breeder, but the vet is 100% sure he's got lab in him from his build (i've been wondering for a while)...he has mast cell tumours. It's a form of skin/dermal cancer. he's 5....so young. so he's in to get the lumps removed and sent off for testing, and ultrasound while he's under to see if there's anything weird inside. better to get them gone now...
looking forward to the wyoming sale! i had a good hatch too, BVF glad to hear things are peeping and cheeping and all that! it really should make the cold go away faster! i hatched out 9 cornish chicks, and i have no clue how many wheaten and blue wheaten ameraucanas (Kathy B, that boy is wonderful!) and a few easter eggers....gotta get my hubby to have a chat with that cockerel...he's almost a year (the cockerel) and isn't doing his job...only 2 fertilized from over 30 eggs! slacker. so for the wyoming sale i'll have lots of turkey poults and a few chickens....mostly turkey poults this year.
so. onwards at work....pick puppy up after work on the way home tonight. of course, worry about him but he's in good hands. hopefully lump free when he gets back. going to try the cone and see how it goes-he's a voracious stitch chewer....i asked the vet to please try to do internals in 2 layers...so we might have time to get back to the vet before he has them all out!
hope everyone has great hatches, and wonderful days! and please, just a little rain shower this afternoon on my garden would be wonderful.....

? I still haven't gotten all my seeds planted (never mind the started plants, they'll wait), the garden area has been tilled 4-5 times, and when smoothing to plant, I'm still pulling loads of chunks of sod out, so I'm not nearly done. Very slow going. I'm going to have to lay plastic or mulch heavily to keep the grass down, a prospect I'm not looking forward to, since there's approximately 7500 square feet of garden to cover. I really wish it had been turned under last fall, but it was snowing when we moved here 
I've been preparing beds and planting for almost a week now, and I'm only on row three of 17. Had Richard till (again) the remaining beds this evening now that they're good and dry, it looks like it helped somewhat. 
that entails LOL. At least this time of year, they're out in fields where I don't have to shovel it 
and most are culls from my bantam project. If I had any good sense, I'd eat them now, rather than feed them for three more months, and make some room in the process. But some of them are definitely being grown out so I can pick a replacement for my best layer rooster, Shoeless Joe, who met an unfortunate end a couple months ago when he thought it would be a good idea to share the pig's food with the pigs. One of the younguns, most definitely Shoeless Joe's son, is already showing mounting behaviour, much to the distress of the 2 month old pullets. Darn leghorn blood. I find myself yelling insulting things at him like "Your mother was an Orpington!" and it's funny because it's true. He just looks at me like I'm crazy (probably also true), and chases the girls again. I was really hoping to get a red cuckoo boy to replace Joe, but it doesn't look like I'm going to, so this may be the guy. Oh, well. He's black cuckoo with loads of red, maybe Crele when he gets his adult feathers. Not a colour I like, but if he fathers excellent layers like Joe did, I won't hold it against him.
