Anyone know what is up with Babs at Country Egg? Their website is down and unable to get ahold of anyone by phone?
Thanks, vacation was bad. No water in the lake, had to carry our camp gear 100 yards up granite just to get out of the sun, 105 degrees. Fishing was non existent. We just happened to go to the parking lot to get something out of the truck and found that the boat ramp was completely out of the water. We had to build our own ramp below the now dry one in order to pull out two boats. We were suppose to stay Wed thru Sun and we had to leave Thur night, or we would have never gotten out.We have been going to that lake (Mammoth Pool) for 15 years, never have we encountered the water so low. And the fact that it was dropping so rapidly. There was very little snow pack this year in the Sierra Nevada's and that is how the lake is fed. So no snow = No water. It was a drag.Then get home to find that while I was gone, the GFI tripped on my incubators and the power also went out in my brooder house. My brother in law tried, but got there too late.Lost:250 Valley Quail chicks25 Red golden Pheasant chicks.100 Ringneck Pheasant chicks.54 Mountain Quail chicks: This would include the 10 chicks, that's eggs got rescued.62 Chukar chicks7 Button Quail chicks.18 Bourbon Red Turkey Eggs24 Valley Quail eggs2 Peafowl eggs24 Chukar eggs100 Bobwhite eggs10 Duck eggsIt was a very bad week. The temps here got to over 112 on Thurs the 5th. Thankfully all my adult birds in the pens are doing fine. Did not lose a one. The misters on the pheasant worked great. So if anyone has any extra eggs, especially Valley Quail, or Red Golden Pheasant. I would do just about anything to get them. We lost a lot of money this last week. I am just sick. I am really upset the most about my Mt. Quail that were rescued. I was really looking forward to releasing them back to where they came from. And I lost all my Red Golden Pheasants, I just wanted to cry. Well to be honest, I did.....Hope your week went better than mine.If anyone knows what happened to Babs, let me know. I was getting some quality eggs from her.Teresa
