Coffee anyone ?

Yep, rain -- just as predicted😕 light & misty now, will increase later. It's chilly, too. A light wind makes it feel that way. Just not happy with this!! Tired of wet.

There's a livestock auction today. Wanted to go, visit, watch prices, etc. 🤷 not enthused with weather dampening spirits -- 😁true play on words. Guess it will depend on weather at time to leave. Might go look before start of sale, decide to stay or not.

It's making for a depressing day. 🤐.
 
Woke up to 23 escapees this morning out of 28, sounds like a popcorn session going on. Last call for alcohol for these guys today, I'm opening the incubator up and putting the live ones in a brooding box. Going to be 59°F, this is get a sun tan on weather.
 
Over did it today. Not feeling great so laying down and kids decided to keep me company. They are currently wrestling in blankets. At least I don't have to worry about what they are getting into, just my kneecaps.

So far 25 out of 28 hatched, the three remaining have pipped and I can see them moving in there, just waiting for them to crack the last bit. So out of 30 only two that stopped about two weeks in, I say pretty successful hatch rate for a first time doing duck eggs of getting 28.
Going on a archaeological dig this morning, see if I can find more bones in my test hole I was looking for water in.
