Looks like mom is taking good care of them. The gray chicks I think are the coolest looking. We have two here we hatched ourself. Looks like you got a nice variety.

 

How many chicks hatched total? I must have forgot how many you said. 
 

 


I think we ended up with 24. Its hard to count them, but I think mom hen has 16, and I have 8 in here.  There were some technical difficulties with humidity at the end, and some didnt make it out. And then, this morning at 2ish, I heard peeping in the incubator, and we had one more hatch! Yay for the little bumblebee..

this mornings fog was a nightmare. Walking in it was just so oppressive. I just couldn't get up speed and it took me 1.5 hours to walk the 3 miles. And another 30 just to drive the section it normally only take 15... Breathing was not a challenge, but like putting my face over a cool mister. Well at least I didn't need a bottle of water...
Hello from "greater metro Dexter"! Emphasis today on "greater metro." We are in the Dexter school district, and it's the closest "burg" to us, but far enough away that we didn't even get especially high winds yesterday. We got some pretty intense hail and thunder/lightning. I had a migraine and had gone to bed after medicating up, just when the first hail came through. Then the DH got home, came up, asked me if the chickens needed to come in. Groggily, I said, "they know how to get out of the weather if they want to," rolled over and went back to sleep. Then after however long the DH came back, told me there were tornado warnings in the area, I had to get up because the upstairs was the least safe part of the house, we might need to go to the basement. (Basement would be only marginally safer because it is a walkout with a sliding glass door, but the best we would have...) Here I am compelled to admit that I was not very gracious about the DH's concern. "I feel like crap! I don't WANNA get up! I wanna sleep!" But making use of both his Bossiness and Worrywort genes, he managed to pry me out of bed. By this time the storm was abating, and as I said, it never was too bad at our house. Eventually (like by today) I did come to appreciate DH's concern...

I hear the Dexter Mill, where I shop a lot, was devastated. Haven't left the house yet today to drive anound and see what's what. I know a lot of people are homeless today. Amazing that no one was hurt.

I haven't caught up with the MI thread yet--our internet was down till just now because of the storm. (Really down this time instead of just my incompetence getting the I Pad to work with our wireless signal). Haa anyone heard from b737drvr? Milan I think also got some heavy weather. Before all this went down, b737 and his very charming family came over and I enjoyed that visit very much. His kids are going to be awesome with their new chickies. Very interested in the birds, confident but respectful, very eager to help. Wonderful family!

Hens:  GLW, BSL, NHR, BO, 2 EE's, a Silver Sebright, 2 Golden Sebrights, and a Speckled Sussex; and 3 beautiful geese, 2 Toulouse and a Toulouse-American cross, from Mom 2em All.  Recently hatched: 2 goslings, 6 chicks (EEs and Ameraucanas).  Also 2 delightful dogs, 10 acres of swampy paradise, and a DH who had no idea what he was getting into 25 years ago.

I found some tylenol 3 from when my husband got his tooth pulled a couple months ago. It is a life saver. 


I am a handful of pages behind right now, and no time to read them at the moment, so forgive me if this is redundant. I am also allergic to morphine, which I also had the pleasure of finding out after a serious surgery. :( This is all pretty foggy, I vaguely remember briefly waking up in recovery to the most amazing pain ever, (and this is coming from someone who has birthed two babies at home! tongue.png) before blacking out. I also remember waking up again because they got the wheels of my bed stuck in the elevator, and despite the overwhelming pain, I laughed in my head at how ridiculous it was that the hospital beds should not fit through the hospital elevators. Then I blacked out again, lol.

 

Anyway, it took them two days to realize the reason I was dying was the morphine, and then they switched me over to something else, and it is after that I remember waking up the first time with any sense of clarity. I tried to look it up for you, but I am afraid I couldn't figure it out. The only thing I remember is that it started with a "D", and I don't know if it is something they can send home, I had it intravenously. I would certainly ask, though, if you are still in that much pain. There are alternatives.

 

As a side note, I am also allergic to codeine, and probably many opiates, which you would think might be obvious from the morphine reaction, but it was the same hospital that I had the surgery done at, (U of M,) that looked over my extensive allergies, (which I gained in cancer treatment, bah!) and prescribed me codeine. It was awful, so watch out for that!
