My lesson in patience for the month!  I put the 12 turkey eggs in the incubator Sunday.  Now I have become  obsessive about checking the temp and the hygrometer readings!  Every time I walk by I have to take a peek!  I am so glad this thing has a plexi-glass door.  It's not that anything is going on in there just yet, it's just the fact that you can see in.  This thing turns the eggs automatically.  It rotates slowly over time.  Now we just hope the power stays on for the next 26 days.

The very first thing I did was break the themomter.  It's the old fashioned glass kind.  Naturally they don't make that kind any more.  I am currently using a digital cooking thermometer.  I will definitely replace the one I broke with another.  As I told the friend I borrowed it from, I am not in the habit of returning damaged goods.  He says it's not necessary to replace it, but for me it is!

I have found more treasures in the trash!  I will post as soon as I can get the pictures on!

Also, I started lambing yesterday!  One very sweet little snow-white girl!  She was already cleaned off and up running around when I got home.  I just love that!
