Leghorn
Reviewed by Chicken Goddess

Leghorns are great egg laying chickens. They are friendly to other Leghorns and can easily fly. The only problems is that they are bad in the pecking order and they can make a mess of the yard....

Do you have a monitor for his oxygen? He might just need to use his tank more. I hope he is ok!

That would be my guess, too. He probably should be wearing his Oxygen. It is hard for some guys to accept that the Oxygen is his friend. If he will wear it when he sleeps and when he is up exerting, he will do so much better. However, it is hard for some to accept that they are dependent on it. All you can do is suggest and don't notice openly when they have it on. Just ignore it as if it is part of the furniture.

We have an oxygen concentrator. Not a portable one. We are working on that as he is currently uninsured. The County program is pretty much a joke, but he does get his meds for free.

I got all the stuff today to do the centerpieces!!! Instead of the clear bowls, though, we got some really cute rustic looking metal buckets with a flower pattern stamped on them. Sorry no pics for a little bit. Our phones are shut off.

You need your phones. Please let some of us help. We are not strangers. At least we are not any stranger than the rest of your friends, ha ha.

They should be able to give you a very long tubing so that he can use it around the house at least.

Our prayers are with you. We send our love.

He has a long tubing to use around the house. Remember we are talking about a very stubborn man here. I think he uses it more during the day while I am at work which is fine with me!!!! I fell really odd asking people I haven't met to help out. You know what I mean? Feels wrongish.

My best friend and I are going to make the centerpieces next weekend and then go shop for her dress. EEEK!!!! It's getting close!

Craptastic.

Wait...YOU are not ASKING! WE are OFFERING!! There's a big difference! And Chick N Haus is right. Y'all need your phones. With Ken's health problems, most definitely, and there is also the "you never know what is gonna happen" scenario. These days, phones are a necessity. We are very willing to help out. So please let us. Pretty please? With cream and sugar and a cherry on top?
