I am in! Not sure what we'll set, but I am praying to the Fertile Egg Gods to send us what we need.

Having a REALLY bad feather week. P

Well, for all my big talking I only got one done. "Gimpy." And I have been meaning to cull him for a week. After processing I found that he did have a broken thigh bone that had sortof healed over, but he has no thigh muscle on that side. I have made a mental note to cull more quickly, that...

Thanks NevadaRon and congratulations to you, too! I don't know about you, but I am SORE today.
