setting eggs and tomato plants


It is very cool this morning the thermometer says 46 but the chicks say get under the light bulb. I like a yellow rose and I have never had much success with the yellow rose bush either they die or they turn to red which is what has happen to this rose bush . I counted 7 blooms on mine this year and the rest are red. My neighbor has a yellow rose , she got it the same time as mine from the same place and hers has thrived.
I have had a problem with my tomato plants. They just up and die over night. It is the tomatoes I had in the dirt son brought now I have mixed other dirt with the red dirt that Tony brought thinking that his dirt was to rich with nitrogen and replanted if these die I will have to start over from scratch.
A guy at work ask Janet if our eggs were the kind that you could set under a hen in other words were they fertile? Janet said she would ask me. I sent him word yes and how many did he want. He wants 36 and that is the number that a incubator holds so I suppose he is going to hatch them in a incubate. I am trying to get his eggs ready, the neighbor came yesterday and ask SAM if she could have a dozen eggs and I gave her the dozen I had because her husband pulls grass and puts into the chicken pen plus they put up with the rooster crowing every morning there forth the hatching collection is going slowly. Perhaps I can get the 3 dozen by Tuesday. I get 10 eggs most days but Sammy may decide he wants eggs for breakfast and if he does there goes 6 eggs.

I get 8 to 12 eggs a day. That is enough for me. What worries me is the hens get old and I just keep them. I know that is not supposed to be the way to go.
