CALIFORNIA The Whole State thread - Page 209

Thank youI

 will check out the breeders that you listed. I hope something will come up. If not I will get baby chicks again next spring, they are so fun to raise

It's already better than before?!!!  Wow!  The first few months after my surgery I thought I had made the biggest mistake of my life!   LOL   I need your Doctor's name and number.  Seriously!  Can you pm it to me?  It's getting worse and worse.  The last 2 weeks have been really bad.                Steve is bugging me to call an orthopedist.

 

Went to get pictures last thing this evening after all the chores were done and the stupid battery is dead!   Or the stupid owner let the battery run down.  Where's the embarrassed smiley?

Can't hurt!  sorry your hatch went so bad.....sucks!

 

I'd love to have a grand daughter ... waiting & hoping on my oldest son and his wife.

 

Wolftracks Kim, this thread wouldn't be the same without you, so I hope that your computer starts behaving.

 

I wish all of you, who are recovering or dealing with pain, healing and well wishes!

 

Remember to appreciate and enjoy this beautiful weather while it lasts!

We have missed Wolftracks Kim on the Easter Hatchalong forum too.

 

It is so fun! There is a short story contest that is going now and the stories are great. The egg art contest has ended and we get to vote now. Look for the link in the first thread.

 

Mahonri the Thread starter has already started to panic. He already has 6 hatched in one incubator. The other held temps better and it will be closer to the right day for hatching, but he is already freaking out about it all.

I have 13 of 15 EO Basque Hens in the Genesis I use for a hatcher. No pips yet but should have them by tomorrow. This is my first time hatching these eggs but hopefully this will be the first of many for the Basque Hens.

 

Bye,

Thank you Kim (Capay). The nice weather does wonders for me while I'm recovering from my back surgeries. I hope others are feeling good from the warm sun.

Kim, I sure hope you've been busy at the drs getting that contraption off and going to physical therapy where I pray they are strengthening you typing muscles!!!

Sarah, is your back any better?

Kim (C) I have 5 grandkids and only one granddaughter but she is so much fun and loves the chickens and horses! Hope your kids surprise you with blessed news!

So this was my morning. 

I was cleaning out the little chicken pen, full of beautiful birchen marans that I got from Cheryl. One of them got a wild hair & flew out - right into the face of Miss Kitty, the most efficient little killer on four paws. I froze, heart in throat. Miss Kitty took a half-hearted swipe at the chick, gave me the stinkeye, and left for parts unknown. 

I calmly put my heart back where it belonged, picked up the chick (who was fine, thank God!) and put her in the temporary tote.

I finished cleaning the pen and picked up the container of fresh (cold!) water to put it back. It fell apart, dumping water all over the poor chicks. Blarg.

So I dried them off & put them under the light. They were shivering, but I think they'll be okay.

Today is NOT a good day to be a Marans at my house.

 

I'm going to go hide so I don't accidentally destroy the planet.

 

BOY that really has me laughing out loud!!! As long as they are safe and warm now you've done your job.  It's 5 o'clock somewhere...pour yourself a glass of wine :)
