Hi all,
All of Jewel's (albino okeetee) eggs are 2 weeks old already they looking great and have really grown just in the last few days. I snapped this pic of them last night. Jewel also recooped VERY quickly, ate 4 meals in 9 days and shed and has been rebred to my ghost het snow. She will continue getting fed day old chicks every 4-5 days for the next few weeks as well as a fresh pre-killed rat here and there to help her continue to build her body up for egg production. She's gonna get one heck of a resting period after this and fed until she can't stand it anymore afterwards lol.

Seriously though, it looks like a lovely big clutch, she must have had some good weight on her going into the season! Hopefully the 2nd clutch will bring you success as well.

I was biting the sides of my mouth, but trying to resist the urge. Princess, you and I must be very much alike, but you've got more moxie than I do.
 
Moxie??? What's that??? I'm just rude :rolleyes: :p

Yeah, since the edit button went I think I've tried to bite my tongue a little more because the whole 'remorse over being a little harsh' makes it harder to take back.. But no, call it moxie if you like, I went to private grammar schools from age 4 to 18....so it's like nails down a blackboard for me.

Not at all saying I'm perfect...far from. 5 years of living outside english speaking countries has really affected my spelling but I really think all native english speakers should know when to use there, their or they're... to, too or two and know which witch is which. I suppose 'standard' english depends on sociocultural/ethnic factors too (look at the point Bill Cosby's been making), so without knowing they 'speaker' I suppose I should be a little softer.


Sorry if I stepped on toes. :bounce: :wavey:
 
Oops! Sorry, Princess. I forgot you're not an American. Yes, the dictionary defines moxie as "courage combined with invectiveness," which I guess isn't a positive attribute. However, the word is also often used as a compliment to say someone is bold, sassy, spirited and unafraid to voice an opinion that may be unpopular -- that's what I meant. Didn't mean to chastise. Actually, your went/gone post made me laugh because I was thinking the exact same thing -- fingernails down a chalkboard! But that's just the writer/editor in me.

You missed my rolly eyes Nut!!!!

I know what moxie is, I was just being sarcastic.. :p

And-hey, just because I'm 'non-American' doesn't make me a non-native english speaker.

We ride kangaroos to school where I come from mate!!! :grin01:

:cheers:
